Reggie ain't even in the same stratosphere as Clyde. Clyde was 25 6 & 6. Rip is about right. Rip could shoot. He was deadly from midrange, he just don't have Reggie's range. Reggie has a handful of shots that get overblown. he's 3-3 vs the Knicks in the playoffs, and his overall record ain't even close to .500. But he gets his praise because of the theatrics.
Why not. Since you're posting numbers, go compare their playoff scoring. Reggie matches Clyde's scoring volume in the postseason while doing so on way better efficiency. You can't say he's more efficient because he plays in an easier era or against lesser competition, he was just a better scorer in the postseason than Drexler who did not have a single skill in the half court as strong as Miller's shooting. He was limited by a shaky handle and got a ton of his offense in transition, put backs, cuts, in the post to compensate (Miller also a good high post scorer - jab step jab step into reliable pull ups or drive by tight coverages). He could be contained in ways that were harder against Reggie.
Clyde was a better on ball passer, for sure. But the way that you use Miller's shooting as a decoy can be just as valuable as playmaking. The Pacers would get guys open scoring opportunities just from that. I've seen him stand on the left wing, draw two defenders, and get a teammate a wide open go ahead corner three in game 7 of a playoff series. None of that was recorded in the box score.
Reggie was deadlier than Rip as a shooter period and also Reggie got to the line more frequently than Rip. There is no comparison.
You just named team records, I don't care bout that. I care about general performance and consistency. Reggie was 34 years old dropping 33 and 35 in back to back games against the Shaq Lakers. Ray Allen looked like a defensive liability trying to stick with him that same postseason.
Everybody knows about the Knicks in '95 but what about the series after where he put up 25.9 on 50/40/89; 66 TS% against the Magic. Just lost in history because it wasn't the Knicks and they lost. But he was great.
