Retired NBA legend Reggie Miller may be 6'7 himself, but when pressed about the best sub 6'6 player of all time, he's going with a living Golden State Warriors legend. 

Miller recently appeared on the Dan Patrick Show and was pressed about that very question: who is the best player 6'5-and-under in NBA history and it wasn't a question that Miller took lightly.

He brought up several names of players both actively playing and those that he played with in the 1980s and 90s and while he agonized over his decision before giving his answer, not wanting to offend any friends or former foes, he finally said that he had to go a fellow all-time great three point shooter.

"I'm still going with Wardell [Steph Curry] Miller said (via Dan Patrick Show). 

Dan Patrick even put Miller through a variety of situations, asking him both for a flat-out answer and even if Miller was putting together a team with himself on it and despite the hypotheticals and the though process, Miller still landed on Curry.

It's not exactly an outrageous answer. Curry could very well be a top-10 player of all time regardless of height.

He revolutionized the modern play style of the NBA with his historic three point shooting abilities, something that Miller would know a lot about considering that he was considered one of, if not the best three point shooter in NBA history before Curry came along.

Beyond Curry's three point shooting, which is already the best the NBA has ever seen if he were to retire now, he still has so many other qualities.

His rapid pace and relentless movement made things nearly impossible for defenders to stop him in prime and while he may not have the pure playmaking abilities of the typical point guard, he's still shown that he can set up looks for his teammates with all of the attention that he attracts.

Truly, all of the agonizing that Miller was doing before he named Curry was out of politeness. For a player at his size, there should be no other choice for who is the greatest.

Because of his size, Curry was never going to have the physicality to truly set himself apart with drives or finishing inside the paint like many NBA players have the option to and as a result, he developed a league-changing skillset that will likely never be matched by becoming the best perimeter shooter the game has ever seen.
