Reggie Miller back in the NBA?

Reggie Miller is contemplating a comeback to the NBA at age 42. I don't think this is a good idea. Granted, Miller was one of the greatest clutch players I've ever seen play. Boy were those Knicks-Pacers games great. I still remember the 7 point flurry within about 3 seconds against the Knicks. Scottie Pippen was considering a comeback late last season and nothing came of that and I always thought of Scottie being a better all-around player. I think Reggie would be a liability on defense, but if he did come back he would be best fit to come into games late when the games are on the line and need a clutch 3 pointer. Although with the core that the Celtics have now with Garnett, Allen, and Pierce, I'm not sure where Miller would fit in. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I neglected to mention why he should try to comeback...and it is obvious: championship. Celtics have NBA Finals potential over the next 3 years I think however I still don't think they can beat the top teams in the Western Conference.
