My Take
I always had a soft spot for Mike Miller, the 6-foot-8 sharpshooter from tiny Mitchell, South Dakota. Drafted fifth overall in 2000 and crowned Rookie of the Year the next season, he could have chased the spotlight, but instead he carved out a 17-season NBA career as the kind of dependable marksman every contender wants. That longevity says more to me than any highlight reel. His move into coaching afterward signals a genuine love for the game, not just the fame. I am drawn to these understated craftsmen, and Miller is a quietly admirable one.
