Michael (Mike) Lloyd Miller (born February 19, 1980 in Mitchell, South Dakota) is an American professional basketball player currently with the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. Known for his ability to hit the three-pointer, he attended the University of Florida from 1998 until 2000. As a sophomore, Miller led the Gators to the 2000 NCAA Championship game, losing to Michigan State. He hit perhaps the most dramatic shot of the tournament that year in the opening round versus Butler. As the fifth-seeded Gators trailed by one to underdog Butler, Miller drove to the basket and laid it in as time expired. That summer, he was taken with the 5th overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic. Miller would win the 2001 Schick Rookie of the Year Award while being the only first-year player to appear in all 82 regular season games. Mike and his wife, Jen, have two sons named Mason and Mavrick.1
He was the recipient of the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award for the 2005-06 season. He averaged 13.7 ppg 5.4 rpg 2.7 apg while shooting 47% from the field and 41% from three-point range, while playing 30.6 minutes per game.
On January 3, 2007 Miller made nine three-pointers in a win over the Golden State Warriors, breaking Sam Mack's Grizzlies' franchise record of eight in a game set in February 1999.2 The two previous games Miller hit 7 threes.3 This made him the first NBA player to hit at least seven three-pointers in three consecutive games4 since the Dallas Mavericks' George McCloud achieved it in 1996.5
He holds the Memphis Grizzlies franchise record for most points scored in a single game, with 45 on February 21, 2007, against the Golden State Warriors.
After the 2006-2007 NBA season, Miller was announced as a member of the USA Basketball team.
