Reggie Miller is a Hall of Famer and legend of the game, but where he truly built his reputation was by being one of the greatest trash talkers in NBA history.

However, there was one NBA great that even Miller was reluctant to get mouthy with: His Airness himself, Michael Jordan.

Miller was a guest on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night, and he recounted an anecdote from his rookie year that spoke to MJ’s self-confidence.

Apparently Miller was outscoring Jordan 10-4 in the first half, and decided to talk a little trash in the process.

"You know what, you’re right!" "Michael...who do you think you are?" Miller recalls saying. "The great Michael Jordan? That's right, there’s a new kid on town!

Jordan responded by outscoring Miller 40-2 in the second half.

As he was walking off the court, Jordan looked at Miller and said, "Be sure, and be careful, you never talk to Black Jesus like that."
