Former Philadelphia 76ers guard Andre Miller was always a calm and steady presence on the floor for the team during his time in the City of Brotherly Love. He had some ginormous shoes to fill after being acquired from the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson, but he did so admirably.
In 221 games for the Sixers, Miller averaged 15.9 points, 6.9 assists, and 4.3 rebounds while playing at his own pace. He also guided Philadelphia to surprising playoff appearances in 2008 and 2009, although the Sixers fell in six games in Round 1 both times in a similar fashion with the team up 2-1 in the series before falling.
On Wednesday, Miller will rejoin the Nuggets to be the coach of the team’s G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold. He did spend six seasons playing for Denver in his career.

Miller will now look to bring his steady presence to the bench and help young players look to make their next step in the NBA.
