Summary

Andre Miller is one of the most underrated point guards in NBA history, and he sat down with Matt to share his journey on and off the court. From his unlikely path through Utah to becoming the NBA’s iron man, Miller explains how he managed such incredible longevity without the modern training craze. He dives into stories about Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, and what it was like getting traded for Allen Iverson. Miller also reflects on the “death of the point guard,” pickup runs with John Stockton and the Jazz, and the unforgettable moments that defined his 17-year career. This episode is packed with gems from one of the game’s most respected veterans.
