    I can respect his game, but I will never respect him as a player. He IS one of the leagues most underrated point guards, is a composed veteran and has seemingly been a better leader recently. He's up there with Billups, Cassell, Baron, etc. in the post for point guards and is deceptively quick and strong.

    Miller reminds me a lot of Brad Miller and Sam Cassell in other ways as well. People would generally be a fan if he's on their team, hate him when he plays against their team, but be forgotten years after he retires.

    I don't think of him in terms of all time great guards simply since he didn't peak high enough, or even rank high enough during his prime.

    But he has been one of the most underrated PG since his Cleveland days, though he was a disappointment with the Clippers. He was an NBA ready guard in his rookie year. Other than that, he's helped every team he's played for. The Clippers were just a huge disappointment in the early 00's, whether it was injuries, bad trades, busts ect. They did have quite a bit of young talent, and they showed some promise of improving during that stretch, even competed for a playoff spot well into the '02 season.

    His toughness is his defining characteristic. I liked him BEFORE he screwed over the Clippers.

    Maybe the dude just hates the Clippers in general
    Which is uncool. We get it... he's a cocky rookie. But blasting him in the media THAT much? It's like dude fu**ing calm down. Just added fuel to the already existing beef between him and Clippers fans.

    D-Miles was always hella overrated who only wanted to butt buddy with Q-Rich. He was taking the Clippers nowhere

    Funny how Cleveland traded him and he still showed no promise



    And around the time the organization was being bad mouth not only by him as a player it had the reputation for not being a well ran. You could say it woke the organization up going forward and that's when things started to change. Cassell bitched about his contract the whole time there and not making it as an All-Star but he couldn't do anything about it because he wasn't a free agent had he been one he would have high tailed it outta there too.

    I mean Odom/Brand both begged publicly for their contracts not to be matched around the same time.... it doesn't get anymore busch league than that. They retain Brand only to let him do it again several yrs later except left high and dry

    You act like Miller was the only bad apple in that wickity wack bunch. The whole team was selfish because the organization was poorly ran and unprofessional.

    Really. Is that why Cassell signed a 2-year extension with the Clippers when he became a free agent, as an unrestricted free agent?

    Odom was a key bench player and Brand has stink it up since he left.

    Darius Miles best seasons came in Portland actually AFTER Cleveland. Who knows... had he not been traded maybe he doesn't get a serious injury? Never know. Besides his energy and hustle as a 6th man had a big impact compared to Miller who gave 10 percent effort in his time here.

    Clippers were improving every year and a borderline playoff team so not sure what you're talking about. Bullshit on the Cassell situation. He was happy to arrive http://articles.latimes.com/2005/aug.../sp-clippers25

    and was never an issue. He actually loved it here. The Clippers extended him 2 years. The only reason the Clippers actually traded him to Boston was to give him a shot at a ring before he retired (which was really surprisingly kind of Sterling). He loves the Clippers for that. After retiring he wanted to return as a coach and still roots for us and goes to Clippers games.

    Odom much like Miller had a shit attitude and work ethic and didn't do what he was drafted to do. Clippers fans were happy to let that douche go.

    John Wall even said recently that Sam Cassell always talks about how great his Clippers experience was and brags about their playoff run.

    My bad I forgot 2SS 2LL had a stop in Sota and from there to Clippers is where his complaining surfaced by 2005-2006 the organization was on the upswing for short while...but the whole 2002 crew was near Tyrus Thomas shortbus status.

    His only bad year. Speaks more of that franchise than anything I'd think.

    When a bad trade happen, you should hate the organization and not the player. It's the GM who made the mistake to trade D-Miles for Dre

    What I love about Andre Miller is that he's the living evidence that this game is still not totally at the mercy of athletic monsters

    That's really nice of you, but I didn't know Miller was an actor?
