He wasn't the great Michael Jordan, there were no "the shot" and "last shot" miracle shows!
He's also not the legendary Reggie Miller, who can cut 8 points in just 8.9 seconds!
He seems to be just a role player, and seems to be a blue-collar worker who has been doing dirty work all his life! Seems so banal!
In the 2000 draft, the fifth pick was selected by the Magic and began his NBA career. Three years of magic, he acted well enough as a rookie! In the first year, the best rookie, the second year, the third year, he has averaged 15+ points per game, and the super high three-point shooting rate can also make him occasionally have a surprise performance of 30+! However, in that era, superstars were born, legends were everywhere, there were Iverson single-core war OK combinations, there were legends of South MacBeika, East Esiko, and more "little giants" from China turned out! And all the achievements of Mike Miller are like the stars in the light of the sun and the moon, talking about no light!
In the summer of '03, he went to the Grizzlies and began his five-year career in Memphis, which was the pinnacle of his career! Every season, his scoring has increased, he's getting better and better, and he's the best helper around Paulo Gasol, although he always comes on as a substitute. In the 05-06 season, he got the best sixth man he deserved, shooting 40.9% from three-point range, and he got his first triple-double and his first 5,000 points and 1,000 assists! However, not many people will remember this small forward with accurate shooting, even if he has just won the best sixth man, and people only talk about Manu Ginobili, because in those seasons, the combination of GDP shocked the league and won the O'Brien Cup several times, and Mike Miller, without a championship, without a tour of the finals, did not even help the team reach the divisional finals!
Then there's the career of the Timberwolves and wizards, unremarkable and mediocre! Averaging 30+ minutes per game, he can only score 10 points, all of which hints that his career is starting to decline! He began to age and began to marginalize! He seems to be a role player who has never been paid attention to, let alone forgotten!
However, that very summer that followed, in 2010, he joined the Heat! Fate seems to have played a big joke with him, the "candy" that was out of reach when he was young, but in the last few years of his career, he gave you all of them, not a lot!
In the 2011-2012 Finals, G5, which was the most crucial game, the Heat led 3-1, and Mike Miller felt for the first time that he was so close to the O'Brien Cup! In that game, his three-pointers shot 7-of-8, 87.5% shooting, slashed 23 points, like a surprise soldier suddenly, hard to destroy the Thunder's defense line, so efficient, so that the opponent feel desperate and suffocated! He may have conceded a season's worth of three-pointers, and it's okay, at least, in the final game, he shot in!
In the 2012-2013 finals, maybe the g6 battle, Ray Allen's three-point sequel will be recorded in history, but the old three believe that on that day, Mike Miller's barefoot three-pointers will also be famous in history! In that game, he only hit 2 three-pointers, but some things just can't be measured by data, such as momentum, such as perseverance, such as never discouraged!
