Andre Miller Schools us on Point Guard History
Listen now
Description
Gary Payton, Jason Kidd and John Stockton. These are the only three point guards in NBA history that logged more games than today's guest, Andre Miller. If there's one thing Miller embodies, it's being a floor general. And in today's league, it seems like floor generals are endangered, maybe even extinct. Miller candidly walks us through his thoughts as to why the true point guard is being phased out of the league. He also takes us back to memorable pockets from his rich 17-year career, including secret pickup runs with John Stockton and Karl Malone, joining the 2003/04 Nuggets for Melo's rookie year and his unsuccessful attempts at containing a surging Steph Curry in the 2013 Playoffs. 00:00 Beginning 00:30 Secret to being an NBA ironman 03:50 Private pickup runs with 90's Utah Jazz 10:25 Who is the best team to never win a ring? 13:55 Using Stockton's techniques in NBA 15:35 What happened to the true point guard? 19:02 Memories of rookie Melo, Traded for Iverson 23:10 Art of the post-up point guard 27:14 Steph Curry's 2013 Playoff explosion 29:09 Is Steph a true point guard? 33:44 Does Draymond get enough credit? 34:58 52-point game vs Mavericks in 2010 38:58 Trainer culture ruining youth? 47:44 End Learn more about your ad choices.
