For real, i mos def remember utahs run with him in march madness & totally was well aware of where he was and how he was doing throughout his career.....but i must of never seen an interview or nothing, cuz i never expected this personality from him.

Dre touched on one of the main reasons I love basketball and just sports in general. The barriers that are broken down through relationships. Getting to know people who don’t look like you or share all the same life views as you do, and putting that all aside to accomplish a common goal was special. I still have life long friends from high school and college. If only we could get to this point as a society.

I apologize up front for the long comment: I have a close friend who played at a small D1 college, played against Andre Miller when he was at Utah(college). One night a few friends were watching a game, having a few drinks and out of nowhere, my homie starts talking about how strong Miller was and how he was the toughest player he ever played against. For years, even to this day… we will meet up and no matter who’s playing and what they are doing, someone will chime in and say…. “Yeah Yeah Yeah, hell with al that Andre Miller was the greatest player of all time. ~ Maybe it’s not as humorous to others, but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the thumbnail. Shoutout to Dre Miller, definitely one of my favorite players and most definitely one of the most underrated players of his era!

[@PastorAaronEdwardsHall]

Andre Miller was the first NBA player to let me know the NBA is on another level. I watched him at the Drew League. He walked in with a wrinkled white T, dropped his son to a lady on the sideline, walked straight on the court without stretching and proceeded to completely destroy everyone without sweating or jumping. Everybody else was more athletic and jumping out the gym and he made it seem like he was playing against children. The game ended, he walked off the court, grabbed his son and calmly walked out as if nothing happened. Respect pros!!!!!
