My Take

At 204 cm, Ryan Millar was built to dominate a net, and he did. A San Dimas kid who went from Brigham Young to the U.S. national team, he was a three-time Olympian and crowned it with gold in Beijing 2008, one of American volleyball's signature moments. What I respect is the longevity: a decade as a fixture from 1998 to 2008, plus three NORCECA titles, demands far more than height. Middle blockers live on timing and anticipation. I tend to fall for the players who become walls rather than the flashy spikers, and Millar is a perfect example.
