Editor’s note: My first season covering the Trail Blazers was 1989-90. Much time has passed and may players have donned the Portland uniform since that time. We will run an occasional column in this space about some of the players I have enjoyed getting to know.

Unsung? Overlooked? Maybe even forgotten?

All adjectives apply to the two-year Trail Blazers tenure of Andre Miller, a starter for Portland’s 2009-10 and ’10-11 teams and one of the premier point guards ever to wear a Blazer uniform.

Miller is the only player in NBA history to compile 16,000 points, 8,000 assists and 1,500 steals in a career without making an All-Star Game.

Andre Iguodala calls Miller “the smartest player” he ever played with. LaMarcus Aldridge, a teammate for two years with Portland, says Miller was “a great lob passer” and “one of the most underrated players ever.”

“Dre is the most underrated point guard in the last 10 years in this league,” Chauncey Billups, then an All-Star guard with Denver, told me in 2010 for an article in the Portland Tribune. “He doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Sometimes he has big numbers; sometimes the game doesn’t call for that, and he just makes his teammates better. He is a basketball player, and I love that about him.”

Miller got a real big number one night with the Blazers, scoring a career-high 52 points in an overtime victory over Dallas in 2010. He averaged 12.5 points through 1,304 career games and got more notoriety for his durability than anything, once mounting a consecutive-game streak that reached 632.

If Miller wasn’t a great player, he was certainly a very good one. Yet because of his understated demeanor and playing style, he flew under the radar through his long career.

“I don’t care if I did,” Miller, now 49, told me recently in a phone interview from his home in San Diego. “I was blessed to play against the best players in the world from all different backgrounds. We all know the league thrives on the mega-stars. I considered myself one of those players.

“I felt I was elite. Whether I got the attention for it or not, I don’t know. It only mattered when it came to contract negotiations, and I didn’t get caught up in that. The main thing was to stick in there and have some longevity.”

Miller certainly did that. He played for nine clubs over 17 seasons in the NBA from 1999 to 2016. Miller was well-compensated for his hard work and productive performance, too, earning $98.1 million in salary. Included in that was the three-year, $21.8-million free agent contract he signed with Portland in 2009.

Andre had two good seasons with the Blazers, averaging 14 points and 5.4 assists in 2009-10 and 12.7 points and seven assists in 2010-11. The 6-3, 200-pound Los Angeles native and former Utah All-American was not a high-flier, nor was he flashy or a 3-point shooter. I liked him because he was dependable — and seemingly indestructible — on the court, and also that he was soft-spoken and unassuming off it, not a person trying to draw attention to himself.

Miller has taken part in a couple of podcasts over the past year, but has kept out of the public eye through most of the near-decade he has been in retirement. I tracked him down through his mother, Andrea Robinson, and was fortunate enough to have a good conversation with both. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree in that family.

I start by asking Miller for thoughts about his long NBA career.

“I’m just glad it’s over,” he begins. “It was a dream come true. The dream went fast. I was able to share my dream with guys I grew up with who had those similar dreams. That was a blessing.”

But why is he glad his career is over?

“It was hard,” he said. “It was very hard. In the moment, you stick to the grind. At least for me, I was stuck to a grind, and 100 percent locked in. There were no other things I was involved in besides basketball for pretty much my adult life. It beats you up mentally and physically. I look back and think, ‘Did I really do that?’ It was tough.”

In a 2010 interview with me for the Trib, I asked Miller — then 34 — about goals he wanted to achieve before retirement.

“I’d like to be among the top 10 in (career) assists before I finish,” he said. “And I’d like to play until I’m 40.”

Miller accomplished both. His 8,524 assists ranked him ninth on the career list upon retirement, though Chris Paul, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook have since leapfrogged him down to 12th, where he sits between Gary Payton and James Harden. And Miller did play until he was 40, splitting his final season with the Spurs and Timberwolves.

“I was determined to make that happen,” Miller says of reaching 40 before retirement. “I felt like I could have kept going, but I gave as much to the game as I could. It all worked out. I walked away from the game healthy, and mentally sharp still. (There were) a few little nicks and bruises I had to take care of after basketball, but I got the most out of my body.”

From his second NBA season with Cleveland in 2000-01 through the 2008-09 campaign with Philadelphia, Miller warranted All-Star consideration. He led the league in assists in 2001-02 and averaged 17 points and 6.9 assists in 2007-08. But the NBA was stocked with greatness at guard through those years with players such as Payton, Jason Kidd, Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Steve Nash and Dwyane Wade. It was hard for others to break the logjam.

“Of course I would like to have been an All-Star,” Miller says now. “Everything is based on statistics and titles. There were maybe four years when I thought I could have made the All-Star team. I was hoping in that moment, ‘I think I’ve done enough to make it.’

“The criteria tended to change from year to year. Some years it was based on winning; other times it was based on statistics. The megastars were the ones who made it every year. I thought about it more in the moment, but now it really don’t matter.”

Andre grew up in Compton, a beleaguered city south of Los Angeles with a reputation for gang activity and crime. He is aware of the image and a bit protective of his hometown.

“Whether you call it Compton or Watts, it’s home,” he says. “It gets a negative stereotype when it comes off of people’s tongues, but it was my home. I was a part of the community. There was some good where I come from. The stereotypes? Some are truths; some are not truths. I had a great upbringing. I had a lot of great people around me, men and women as role models.”

Miller was raised by a single mother, and for awhile with help from a stepfather, Albert Robinson. But he also had several father figures in his life as a child.

“The first male figure was my godfather Ben Furnace, who was my kindergarten teacher’s husband,” he says. “I was five when I started latching on to him. They had three sons. They took me in like a fourth son and introduced me to basketball. If I had to pick one male figure I associated with who had an impact on my life, it was him.”

Miller’s good fortune was to have a mother who cared deeply about his well-being. Andrea Robinson wasn’t about to let her son hang out with the wrong crowd.

“Andre wasn’t really around gangs,” says Robinson, who still lives in Compton. “I kept him busy and focused on his education and his sports, making sure he got to where he needed to go and back safe. If I wasn’t available to give him a ride, other parents would pitch in. It was about keeping him well-rounded more than anything — not letting him go where he wanted to go, monitoring the company he kept, monitoring his surroundings. In our neighborhood, parents would watch their kids’ activities. We were all just one big family.”

Tragedy struck the family early. When Andre was six, brother Duane — 11 months younger — suffered a seizure.

“He slipped into a coma,” Andrea says. “He contracted viral encephalitis in the brain.”

Andrea’s life through that period was chaotic.

“I was living at the hospital, running back and forth,” she says. “It was hard trying to deal with a son in ICU in a coma, and a (healthy) son. I would pick Andre up on Fridays from school and we would go to UCLA and stay til Sunday. Then I would take him to my Mom’s and I would go back to UCLA and stay til Monday morning. Then I would go to my Mom’s and get Andre, get him to school and go back to UCLA. We did that for a long time.”

At some point, Duane was transported to Compton, and “Andre and I took care of him at home. It was really hard.”

Duane was comatose for six years and two months.

“He died on my birthday in 1988,” Andrea says. “For about 15 years, I didn’t celebrate my birthday.”

You can imagine the effect Duane’s illness and death had on his older brother.

“I had to grow up quick,” Andre says. “I came off the porch as a six-year-old, and my mom taught me a lot of things as far as how to care for him when she wasn’t around, when she went to work. There were times when (Duane and Andre) were left by ourselves while she worked at night. I was a kid, but I was a little bit advanced for my age.”

With Duane gone, Andre was an only child. His mother’s concentration turned on keeping him on the straight and narrow.

“My mom instilled some morals and discipline in me at an early age,” Andre says. “At six or seven years old, I was already out there picking up things, and my mom was teaching me how to get out there and hustle and work hard.

“There was a lot of teaching, a lot of talking, (an emphasis on) getting good grades — the typical mother stuff. She has always been involved. She has always been a protector. She has always been a giver. She has been like that her entire life. Early on, there was a lot of trying to figure out how we were going to survive. She put herself out there to make sure I had a stable life.”

Andre attended private school from kindergarten through his senior year in high school.

“From K through fourth grade he went to St. Francis Cabrini, which is Catholic,” Andrea says. “Then he went to Inglewood Christian School, which was a little far away, but it was OK because I would drop him off on the way to work.”

Andre went to high school at Verbum Dei, a Catholic all-boys school with a reputation for scholastic achievement and a strong basketball program.

“I’m not Catholic, but that was the best school in the area and wasn’t that far from home, about 15 minutes from our house,” Andrea says.

Andrea worked for 25 years in federal positions — as an agent cashier/teller for the Department of Veterans Administration and as a correspondence clerk for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. She couldn’t have set her son up better for success.

“I don’t know where my mom was getting the money to pay for me going to private schools,” Andre says. “Tuition back then was probably $200 a month, which was a lot of money in those days. I was blessed to have that opportunity.

“Verbum Dei was about brotherhood. It was a tremendous part of my life as far as teachers and mentors and the school in general, which was located right in the heart of where I grew up. I didn’t have to go outside my community.”

At Verbum Dei, Miller was CIF Player of the Year in basketball as a senior. And guess what? He was also starting quarterback on the football team.

“I tried out (for football) my freshman year and quit after the first week,” he says. Miller didn’t play until his senior year, when he decided “I didn’t want to be in the house every day after school. All the players and coaching staff knew I could throw the ball, so I was almost forced to play football. It was so much fun. I wish I had played all four years after what I experienced my senior year.”

Utah won the recruiting battle for Miller. Head coach Rick Majerus employed chief recruiter Donny Daniels, a Verbum Dei graduate, to do the selling job. Andrea liked Daniels, “but Majerus sold me,” she says. “That’s my buddy. Very nice man, loads of knowledge, a walking encyclopedia. I was very impressed with how he emphasized the quality of education over basketball.”

A Prop 48 casualty, Miller had to sit out a year to meet college qualifying standards. Once he became eligible, Andre started four seasons under Majerus and was one of the most hallowed players in Utes hoop history, the WAC Player of the Year and a first-team All-American as a senior.

Majerus did not exactly handle his players with kid gloves.

“It was tough, but he was perfect for the times,” Miller says. “He was a hard-nosed disciplinarian. He expected a lot from you. Back then, there was a different form of getting the most out of your players with negative stuff, but I didn’t take it personally. His language and the way he did things didn’t bother me at all. I took it in stride. I had to just stick with it and work.“

(Personal aside: I got to know Majerus a little, first when he was an assistant to head coach Don Nelson on the U.S. team that won the 1994 World Championships in Toronto. Dwight Jaynes and I covered the event for The Oregonian. Majerus coached Central Catholic grad Mike Doleac at Utah, and I interviewed the coach a couple of times about his 6-10 center. Majerus was cooperative with the media and was fun to talk to. I had no idea what a hard-ass he was with his players.)

As a junior in 1997-98, Miller joined with Doleac to lead Utah to a 30-4 record and a berth in the NCAA championship game, which they lost 78-69 to Kentucky.

“It was a magical year,” Miller says. “That was really cool. We were just flowing. It was a fun time for all of us players and coaches and for the community in Salt Lake City.”

In the summers of those years, Miller benefitted from playing pickup games at Westminster College, where the Jazz practiced before building a training facility in 2003.

“What more can a young player ask than to be around (John) Stockton and (Karl) Malone?” Miller asks. “Jeff Hornacek would pull me to the other end of the court and offer a little advice. I learned a lot from being around those guys and being in that environment.”

Coming to Salt Lake City from the inner-city, Miller blended well into a world very foreign to him.

“It was definitely a culture shock, but I was blessed to have some good people in my corner, like (AD) Chris Hill all the way down through the coaching staff and the people who recruited me,” he says. “I was blessed to have Utah as part of my journey for five years and to come across some good guys who come from different backgrounds. I considered them brothers during that journey.”

His mother has similar feelings about his time there. She was pleased to see her son graduate with a degree in sociology.

“I met a lot of nice people at the University of Utah and in Salt Lake City,” Andrea says. “Good people, good surroundings, very nice atmosphere. It was a good choice by Andre to go there. In LA, it’s hard to get focused. I wanted him to get away in different surroundings, where he would get a great opportunity to play basketball and get his degree.”

In 2006, Miller made a $500,000 donation to the athletic department at Utah.

“I also made a lot of contributions that weren’t financial, but with my time, like going back to the school and helping recruit,” he says. “If they wanted me to make a call to a kid, to come back and support the program — those were the biggest contributions I made.”

Cleveland took Miller with the eighth pick in the 1999 NBA draft. He became a starter at midseason and made the All-Rookie Team, averaging 11.1 points and 5.8 assists. He spent three seasons with the Cavaliers, one with the Clippers, 3 1/2 with the Nuggets and 2 1/2 with Philadelphia before signing with Portland in 2008. Miller chose the Blazers over an offer from New York. Why?

“More money,” he says with a laugh. “Actually, I would have preferred the Knicks because it was the Eastern Conference. It ended being a blessing. I got a chance to play for Nate (McMillan) and his coaching staff, and it was probably the best group from top to bottom I ever played with. Those two years were great. We had good teams.”

Hold on, I tell him. The best group of talent of any team in his long career?

“If we’re judging the amount of talent from point guard to center for all 15 guys on the roster, I would put Portland (No.) 1 or 2,” Miller says. Then he begins reeling off the names.

“LaMarcus Aldridge. Brandon Roy. Marcus Camby. Joel Przybilla. Steve Blake. Jerryd Bayless. Martell Webster. Nicolas Batum. Wes Matthews. Gerald Wallace. Travis Outlaw. So many good players on that team. A very deep roster.”

It was a good time to play in Portland. The Jail Blazer era had ended a few years earlier, and fans packed into the Rose Garden. In 2009-10, Portland had the third-largest attendance in the NBA with an average of 20,497 per game. The next season, they were second at 20,510.

“It was fun,” Miller says. “I don’t ever remember a dull moment in that arena. It was certainly one of the better arenas in the NBA to play in. The support, the energy — I don’t remember that arena not being filled. I remember nothing but good from the Portland fans.”

During a practice session early in his first season in Portland, Miller had a much-publicized verbal altercation with McMillan. Miller, a starter through his entire career after the first half of his rookie season, took umbrage to a role coming off the bench. After 16 games, McMillan moved him into the starting lineup, and he stayed there for the rest of his time in Portland.

At the time, McMillan explained to me that he felt Miller would have been a major force playing with a reserve group that included Webster, Outlaw, Przybilla and Rudy Fernandez.

“Andre posting up second-team opponents and taking over that team while running turnouts and delivering the ball?” McMillan said. “It would have been the strongest second unit in the league, no question. He wanted more. I can understand that. But that’s what we talked about when we were recruiting him. Even though he wouldn’t start, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t finish games.”

McMillan and Miller resolved their differences, and Miller was a major force for Portland teams that went 50-32 in 2009-10 and 48-34 in 2010-11. The Blazers’ methodical offense — they were ranked last in the league in pace both seasons — was perfect for Miller’s deliberate style. It didn’t work well in the playoffs, however, as Portland lost first-round series to Phoenix and then Dallas.

But it all came together for Miller one evening in January 2010, when Miller bombed in 52 points in a 114-112 overtime victory over Dallas at American Airlines Center.

Going against perennial All-Star Jason Kidd, who finished with 10 points and 10 assists in 40 minutes, Miller was brilliant, sinking 22 of 31 shots from the field, including 1 for 1 on 3-point attempts, and 7 for 8 from the foul line. He had only two assists in 42 minutes, but there was no need to be setting up teammates. He was hitting everything, and he got better as the game wore on.

Andre had eight points in the first quarter, 19 by halftime and 27 after three quarters. He still had 27 with eight minutes left in regulation but then found an extra gear, scoring 18 in the fourth period, including a seven-footer with 14.8 seconds to go to tie the game at 103-103. Miller made a 3 to open overtime and scored seven in the extra session.

“I wish I could have scored more,” Miller says today. “That night, it was about finding a rhythm. It was tough to find a rhythm those two years in Portland. I don’t know why. But that night, I found a way to adjust to the circumstances there. It was just one of those games. I was able to find the flow. My teammates got me the ball. The good thing was, we won the game. We ended up playing Dallas in the playoffs (losing in seven games), and they won the title that year.”

At the time, Miller’s performance at Dallas was tied for second place with Roy (52 vs. Phoenix in 2008) on the Blazers’ single-game scoring list, behind only the 54 points scored by Damon Stoudamire against New Orleans in 2005. It has since been bested six times by Damian Lillard, who scored a club-record 71 against Houston in 2023.

It was an anomaly for Miller, whose next-highest scoring output in an NBA game was 37 points. Miller tied his career playoff-high with 31 points in a series-opening win over Phoenix the season before. But Andre was more of a facilitator than a scorer by trade.

“My teammates knew I could score,” he says. “I have a lot of respect for the scorers like Iverson or Carmelo (Anthony) or LeBron or (Steph) Curry. You know how hard it is to do that every game? No way I would want to go out there and shoot 25, 30 times a game. That is when you would see load management out of me. I knew my role, which was to distribute the ball and make my teammates’ job easier.”

Miller’s consecutive-game streak of 632 ended in Portland, but not due to injury or load management. He was suspended by the NBA for a game due to shoving the Clippers’ Blake Griffin in a game in 2010.

In a recent podcast with Matt Barnes, Miller told a story about an incident about a month after the streak was snapped. He told Barnes he has always been a lover of chocolate and that he stopped by a “chocolate convention” in Portland the day before a game.

“It was just unlimited chocolate,” Miller said. “I’m in there eating all kinds of chocolate, and … I could feel it coming. I overdosed on chocolate.”

Miller started the game against Indiana the next night and lasted two minutes and 42 seconds.

“I ran off the court and had to go to the (hospital) emergency room,” he says. “They morphined me. They put me to sleep for like two days. I had food poisoning.”

True to form, though, Miller was back in action in the Blazers’ next game three days later. He missed only a handful of games due to injury in his 17-year career.

“It was strictly work ethic, wanting to be there on the court,” he tells me. “I felt like if I said to the coaches, ‘I don’t have it today, I don’t feel like practicing,’ I was going to fall behind and I’d have to get back in shape.

“I never wanted to fall behind. It’s like if you miss school, you have to make up homework. I always treated basketball that way. What if whoever was playing in place of me played well? They might take all those minutes. I didn’t want to give anybody the luxury to pass me up because I decided to take a break, or was nicked up a little bit.”

In the summer of 2011, Miller was part of a three-team trade that sent him to Denver and Fernandez to Dallas and brought point guard Raymond Felton to Portland. Miller played 2 1/2 seasons with the Nuggets, then was traded to Washington. The Wizards dealt him to Sacramento, and he closed out his career with short stints with the Kings, Timberwolves and Spurs.

Miller wound up averaging 12.5 points and 6.5 assists while shooting a solid .461 from the field and an excellent .807 from the free throw line. His career best free throw percentage was his second season in Portland (.853).

The 3-point line was a different story. For his career, Miller was 193 for 888 (.217) in the regular season. He was better in the playoffs, shooting .383 in 63 post-season games (23 for 60) but averaged fewer than one attempt per contest. He took his most 3-point attempts in 2002-03, his sole season with the Clippers, when he was 23 for 108 (.213).

“I wouldn’t say I wasn’t a 3-point shooter; I just didn’t shoot them much,” Miller contends. “I didn’t take a lot of 3-pointers in my career, but I took a lot of (heaves) at the end of quarters and halves. Those were counted as attempts. I wasn’t a bad 3-point shooter; I just didn’t shoot them at a high clip. The statistics were low because I was always throwing up half-court shots. I could shoot with the best of them. It was just something I didn’t prefer to do. I would pass to a teammate with an open 3, somebody in better position whose specialty was the 3.”

I have to disagree with “The Professor” on this one. Yes, he took plenty of “heaves,” on which he was 3 for 123. Taking those away, he still had a career regular-season 3-point percentage of .248 (190 for 765).

Miller had a flat shot with a low trajectory, a tack that makes it difficult for the shooter the farther he is from the basket. It worked well around the basket, however. He was particularly good in post-up situations, either scoring or dishing to open teammates off a double-team. Miller says he was encouraged to use that part of his game by coach John Lucas during his third season in the NBA, with Cleveland. (Miller says Luke used to call him “Richard Pryor.” I definitely see the resemblance.)

“I was strong and knew how to use my body,” Miller says. “I loved watching Magic (Johnson) shoot that fadeaway. Gary Payton spin, Steve Smith when he did his stuff. I was trying to take all that and put it in my tool box. I could post up dudes, have somebody on my butt and shoot over them. If they started doubling me, I could make passes. That’s one thing I watched Jason Kidd do. He was more of a passer than a scorer in the post.”

For his career, Miller shot .606 from inside three feet and .478 from 2-point range overall. His game was also played low to the ground; he had only 18 dunks in his career.

Miller’s low profile was impacted by lack of postseason success. His teams won only two of 13 playoff series and never got past a conference semifinals. His playoff record: 28-45. He rightly points to the competition during his career. The Spurs and Lakers each won five championships; the Heat won three.

“I played on some talented teams, and it’s unfortunate I was around when those three teams had a corps of great players,” Miller says.

After retirement as a player, Miller took it easy for a few years until he received a call from Denver general manager Calvin Booth, who asked about his interest in coaching the Nuggets’ G-League team.

“I never thought about coaching, never thought about getting into management,” Miller says. “When I was playing, everything was about staying in the moment. But I knew I had to prepare for when my playing career ended, and the only thing I could think of was where was home going to be.”

Home for the good part of three years from 2022-25 was Grand Rapids, Mich., home of the Nuggets’ G-League Gold.

“I thought the gig was going to be in Denver,” Miller admits. “I went through the interview process not even knowing that. But it was cool. I learned a lot about coaching.”

The Gold didn’t have a lot of success, though they got better every year, going 9-23 in 2022-23, 11-23 in 2023-24 and 15-19 in 2024-25. Miller, 35-65 in his three seasons, was replaced as head coach by Ryan Bowen in July.

“I wasn’t let go,” Miller insists. “I was thinking at the time I would (coach the Gold) two to four years. I thought it would probably take three years to get acclimated, to figure out if I can really do this and program up to an NBA team.

“I saw ex-players getting (an NBA) head coaching opportunity with no experience. I thought I was doing it right by stepping in there and getting my feet wet. I know the game. Maybe I should have jumped into coaching right after playing. I don’t deal well with the politics. That’s the tough thing about the business.”

Most G-League teams are located in or near the city in which their NBA affiliates are located. Grand Rapids is 1,100 miles away from Denver. That led to some frustration by Miller.

“I never got a chance to be around the Nuggets coaching staff, to be in coaching meetings, to go to their practices,” he says. “Players were going back and forth. Our staff was never invited to join their staff and help them prepare for the playoffs. There was no synergy.

“But I learned some stuff about myself as far as the coaching staff. I enjoyed it. Will I get back into it? It would be nice if the right opportunity pops up.”

Miller is married and has three children — sons Duane, 25, and Avion, 13, and daughter Tatum, 18. He chooses not to talk about his personal life. “I like to keep my family life private,” he says.

Andre won’t be playing any pickup games.

“I’m not in shape,” he says with a laugh. “I don’t work out. I’m a fan of basketball, but I don’t play it anymore. Wherever I end up, that’s how I go. I try to stay healthy and take care of myself like I’ve always done.”

Roller skating remains one of his hobbies.

“I started at maybe nine years old,” he says. “Some kids are into computers or art or different stuff. I had no other interests than basketball. It was just something to do. It’s a way to stay active. I have made a lot of friends in different cities that way. I still love to skate to this day when my feet aren’t hurting.”

What is in store for Andre Miller over the next 10 years?

“I don’t know,” he says. “Time is flying. I’ll be 50 next year. I’m preparing myself for any opportunities that may come up in the basketball world. I want to stay connected to the game and be a positive role model for the NBA players today. If it happens, great. If not, I’ll always be a fan of the NBA.”
