This cat is a student of the game....I love the fact that he can use players that are superior athletes only because he is smart. Every young basketball player should study his game.
+Shawn Osier This is why I have such high hopes for D'Angelo Russell of the Lakers. His floor is DEFINITELY this guy right here! His ceiling, nobody really knows until he finally breaks in his NBA body in a couple years. Miller is the type of guard who other guards that rely too much on their athleticism early in their careers need to learn from the moment it leaves them for good. Longevity is so important in the NBA it really can't be stressed enough in my honest opinion. :-)
PeekaPeep no I won't be able to see what you are talking about, and I have seen enough of him to say this. Unless all of a sudden druss somehow turns into a post up player, and prioritize driving and post ups over jump shots, the comparison is inaccurate.
+Isaac Bai Not even REMOTELY what I meant, lol! I meant Russell, like Miller, doesn't rely on pure athleticism or blazing speed to get the edge over his defender. Both play an old-school. fundamentally sound brand of basketball that is rarely taught among the younger generation today. THAT'S what I was talking about. And to say you have seen enough from a 19-year old rookie who's barely played his 8th official NBA game is pretty arrogant on your part, if not blatantly ignorant altogether. Oh well, people think they know right away all there is to know about someone...until they finally come to the realization that they didn't know anything about that someone at all, heh.
Listen young bucks this is how you play fundamental basketball. Dude will forever he underrated, I had the privilege of getting to watch him play for years in Portland. Legend
+Derryan Sanford in this generation is really a bad thing for guards. guards are the main tool for spacing the floor and responsible for getting 3 pt shot. trying to post up is basically doing ur pf and center job. if you cant shoot you csnt space the floor for ur teammates and puttin more pressure on them as defense dont bother with you without the ball.
+Derryan Sanford erm.. he was pretty fast when he was younger..and almost rely too much on it. but shooting part you are right. he might have been better if he played under illegal defense rule. nba automatically helps you with spacing problem, ppl can post up more often.
The way he commands his space is Incredible once he gets into your body. No need for crazy vert if he beats you to the spot you want to leap from or gives you contact along with the hesi
Whenever I tell ppl who I modeled my game after when I was at my best it was a mix of Andre miller and Paul pierce I didn't have the athleticism but I was crafty
man i loved watching him play anyone that isnt athletic should look up tape on andre miller and study how he reads and influences the game....if youre young and you eventually have a growth spert or etc your going to be happy you modeled some of your initial game off someone so fundamentally sound....if you understood the muse cage bs kobe was going on about this is one of the players the mamba would say was also not just a game reader but a game writer, they all dont have to be hardens or westbrooks....also the difference between "creating contact" and not being afraid of contact is something to note and have a keen understanding of the differences between them......look at andre hes a prime example of an og that is "not afraid of contact" not what you would call the IMO opposite aka "creates contact"...it might look like hes avoiding contact with his moves but in reality the contact he creates with his leans etc in the post are what creates half his looks. Let alone that he was never afraid to put his head down and attack the paint
Lol I wouldn't go that far man but the word in this vid epitomizes him...savy. He isn't the most athletic in the world nor is he a great shooter but his body control, his ability to read the defense and play the game with intelligence is amazing. Was lucky enough to see his old school skills here in Portland for a few years
This guy annoyed me so much when he was a Nugget playing against my Lakers in the playoffs. No one can flip the ball up and in as quickly as this guy could.
He's got more post moves than most centers today

+PeekaPeep druss and the professor are two completely different types of players, I honestly don't see how the professor is druss's 'floor'.
Isaac Bai Keep track of D'Angelo's progress this season and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I love Andre Miller. Half the time he shoots the ball, it hits every part of the rim before it goes in.
he played like that 50 year old at the park who always scores in the post with those old school moves
Are you kidding me? I can't believe my eyes when he was doing low post on Harrison Barnes... 6'2 vs 6'8...
thats the only thing he can do. only fundamentals and post up
+GilxSullinger saying it like that's a bad thing.
+Derryan Sanford in this generation is really a bad thing for guards.

if you cant shoot you csnt space the floor for ur teammates and puttin more pressure on them as defense dont bother with you without the ball.
+GilxSullinger True that's why he was never a real deal guard he lacked a jumpshot and athleticism.
+Derryan Sanford erm.. he was pretty fast when he was younger..and almost rely too much on it. but shooting part you are right.
he might have been better if he played under illegal defense rule. nba automatically helps you with spacing problem, ppl can post up more often.
This probably the most underrated player in the game!! This dude was valid!!
The way he commands his space is Incredible once he gets into your body. No need for crazy vert if he beats you to the spot you want to leap from or gives you contact along with the hesi
sucks he had no 3pt badge lol

Ppl asked? Who even are you? Got a highlight/mixtape?
my favorite old school PG
One of my all time favorite Nuggets! Old Reliable was incredible.
I was so shocked when he dunked
+The Big O respect!
When?

Welcome to San Antonio
Hell yeah :) Loving this one. Low key i love this guys game. High level Baller IQ
I always wanted him on my team.
“First dunk in 3 years” g’damn announcers roasted his ass

What a fuckin dunk !! I never saw that coming Jesus Andre could get up when he wanted
I loved him when he came to PDX!
some say adding 3 inches to Andre, he'd be as good as MJ
Vincent Jiang And those people are wrong...

He isn't the most athletic in the world nor is he a great shooter but his body control, his ability to read the defense and play the game with intelligence is amazing.

Some say adding another 3 inches on top of that, he’d sleep with as many women as Wilt
That'd be Luka doncic
*takes thorough notes*
i like that moments when he faked a timeout
Andre miller be like “I’m a real baller” lol
Smooth
Took the words right out my mouth. Guy was a 🐐
imagine how good we would have been if he had a three
He was taking a little over one per game, who knows he was hitting 7-8 out of 10 from the line over his career, he might’ve had a 3 in his bag.
Old school....I like
Bro wth this guy is actually still fast
Andre Miller is top 3 alley oop passers of all time.
Jason Kidd, GP, Dre.
Magicstockton how the heck do you leave John Stockton out... the goat of all assist
Cp3 🤦♀️
JOHN STOCKTON, JASON WILLIAMS, RICKY RUBIO, MILOS TEODOSIC, CHRIS PAUL, RAJON RONDO, STEVE NASH,
Now imagine Dwight with this type of footwork. Top 5 center EVER
respect!!!!
George Karl’s favorite player
This is sound basketball!

@evin Gualberto ... You make great videos sir !
He got that low arch jumper
The last play is the Best.
So fucking smart :D 0 vertical, but 300 IQ :D SCHOOL those young bloods Andre, old school
5:40 come on draymond
This guy annoyed me so much when he was a Nugget playing against my Lakers in the playoffs. No one can flip the ball up and in as quickly as this guy could.
If Andre was a 7 footer he'd be in the NBA's top 75
*if he wasn't a role player
Andre Miller plays like an old guy but he still good
Troll Allday he's like 40 years old lol
Draymond got beat by 37 year old 6'2 guard hahaha
OMG HE POOPED ON JARET JACK hahahaahha
Prison ball at its finest.
Love it
They look like brogdon
drose owns him
I got to see him play all four years at the U. of Utah. He could outrebound your typical 6-9 college player.
Just cooked poor jarret Jack
Some of these are just straight layups 😂😂 but good video anyway
He cant shoot.
you see the arc on his threes? lmao.stupid low
at least he can score and make jumpers from the paint
