Could this be the final voyage of the thriller? At the age of 37 this could be his last run in the famous pro-basketball league in the Philippines for the reason his current team the Barako Bull decided to let him go. Sad how can be a great player ended like someone left out like nobody.
Miller started his career in the pro-league in MBA for Nueva Ecija Patriots, in that league he didn't play in his highest capacity because of his injury that time. Then, he got drafted in PBA as 1st overall pick by Red Bull and from there he started his THRILLER the Miller. He's a big pain for all guards even players like Mark Caguioa who were young and fresh that time didn't able contain his athleticism not until they became team mate in Bgy Ginebra.

Aging is a big factor why even great players are being left out unless you are like the ageless Asi Taulava. When a player is aging, his body is deteriorating and become more prone to injury which is a big burden to team's finance. At usual age like in 35, some players are already starting to fade and left sit out then after couple more years, you won't see them anymore like bye-bye thanks for watching my show.
