I’d like to think – although it’s very untrue – that no one understands and appreciates Andre Miller like I do. I understand hid honesty, surliness, the little things he does for the Nuggets, the way he can see the court in this insane, 3-dimensional structure, and his leadership. To say I love Andre Miller [...]The post Andre Miller: “We’ve got a long way to go.” appeared...
