Mark Monteith of the Indiana Star reports that Reggie Miller isn?t done yet. The 37 years old, has played 15 NBA seasons and is in the final year of his contract? but is not ready for a farewell tour yet.

"I still feel good, I can still compete and I still love the game," he said. "As long as people respect that and teams fear that, which they do, I'll continue to play."

A few years ago, he swore he wouldn?t play until he is 40 years old because it wouldn?t be fair to his body. He has since backed down from the 40 year-old limit. His only promise now is that he'll walk away from the game before draining every last minute of basketball from his body, that he'll still be able to contribute at the end. "After (the upcoming season), I'll play three more years at the most, and I'd be happy with two," he said.

He's coming off a season in which he averaged 16.5 points while shooting 45 percent from the field, 41 percent from 3-point range and a league-best 91 percent from the foul line -- all of which came while making a conscious effort to step back and allow Jermaine O'Neal and others to establish themselves as greater offensive threats.

He also continues to prove his reputation as one of the best clutch performers in the playoffs. He averaged 23.6 points in the five-game series with New Jersey, and while he missed a wide-open jumper that could have won Game 3, he banked in a 40-footer that forced the first overtime and drove to the basket for a dunk that forced a second overtime in Game 5.

Miller is confident he can maintain his high level of play. "When I see that first sign of slippage, I might (retire), but I think I'm going the other way," Miller said. "I don't know if I'm like fine wine or the league is (weak) right now, but I'm going to keep playing."
