"I was surprised," Miller told reporters on Dec. 8. "I actually wasn't even notified. I found out toward the evening when I was sleeping that there would be a suspension. It just shows you how soft the league has gotten, protecting young players. It's not like it was when I came in this league."
"It wasn't justified at all," Miller said of his suspension. "If I was a dirty player that was looking to go out and hurt someone then I can understand 'OK, this guy has a reputation.' Back in the day, like John Stockton, tough-minded player, some people thought he was dirty. He never got suspended for anything. The league has changed. They favor the young guys now and that's just how it is."
So how long does he plan to play against some of those guys?
"I will play until no one team wants me. That is how I see it."

When Andre played, it was a delight to go to see a Ute game. Now it's painfull. "The program has slipped" doesn't tell the half if it. They are real bad and its time for new leadership. I Wish you could look thru a glass ball and see if More..
Miller is one of my all time favorites. UU32, lot's of people could take a lesson from Andre.

"They should have a rule that guys stay in college and get their education before they make that jump." Great comment, Andre, and so true. NBA basketball careers at best last 15-20 years. Yes, there's a lot of money involved but if it More..
