NBA 2K18 keeps unveiling new feature after new feature, and perhaps the most scintillating is the All-Time teams for each NBA franchise. For the Pacers, the roster feels a bit incomplete.

NBA 2K18 continues to be hyped up by the slow-drip release of new features, player ratings and more. The All-Time team — a roster made up of the best players in the history of the franchise — for the Indiana Pacers was released not too long ago, but there is a pretty serious omission.

Here’s the roster, per Dime Uproxx.

Starters: Mark Jackson (85), Ron Artest (88), Paul George (91), Jermaine O’Neal (90), Rik Smits (87)

Reserves: George McGinnis (89), Chuck Person (87), Jalen Rose (86), Roy Hibbert (86), Herb Williams (85), Antonio Davis (84), Detlef Schrempf (84), David West (84), Lance Stephenson (83), George Hill (82).

Let’s all say it together…where is Reggie Miller??

According to the Indy Star, Miller’s absence is due to licensing complications. Retired players aren’t included in the licensing deal that NBA 2K has with the NBA, which means the video game creator has to strike an individual deal with each player in order to have their likeness represented in the game.

The creators were apparently unable to reach such a deal with Reggie Miller, so we won’t be able to make the choke sign when playing against the Knicks All-Time team, or at least it won’t be quite the same.

It’s unclear why Miller never agreed to a licensing deal, although his is a pretty unique case. Charles Barkley seems to be the only other retired player of note who didn’t agree to be in the game.

Next: The Pacers have a new training facility

Who else got snubbed? Is someone on the team that shouldn’t be? Let us know in the comments.
