Reasons to love the Rockets' new acquisition: Brad Miller

by grungedave on Jul 22, 2010 9:52 AM CDT in Player Analysis

It's hard not to root for a guy who shows up at his press conference wearing camouflage pants with his jersey. I appreciate that kind of mindset in my team. Then he explained that he almost started his career with the Rockets but that he had already agreed to a deal with the Charlotte Hornets and "he decided not to begin his NBA career by reneging on a deal." That shows character.

And speaking of character.........

this is a guy who got into a fight with Shaquille O'Neal ... and survived. The FatAss got mad that someone dared play defense against him and took a swing at Miller. Due to being way out of shape, Shaq's "punch" missed Miller by about two feet. Nevertheless, the mere fact that Brad Miller could get under Shaq's very thin skin so easily is a trait I greatly admire. Because f--k Shaq, that's why.

Welcome the the Rockets, Brad Miller. I think you'll fit right in here!

Camo shorts, actually.

Guy’s already dressed for Houston weather. Now that’s planning ahead.

Has he ever wronged you?

shaq is a lazy fat turd

Why defend him? For all he did for phoenix and cleveland? He is too busy playing dressup cop,rapping and picking fights with kobe. Who needs the distraction. Any guess why lbj brought over z and not shaq. Welcome miller.

"Because f—k Shaq, that’s why."

That’s one of the signs of great writing.

Hey Shaq!! Kobe wants to know…“How that Veterans’ Minimum taste?”

Also, Brad Miller is a good pickup because the Rockets can play at the same speed when Yao leaves…they’ll never have to shift gears. I’m pretty sure Yao and Miller could beat Barkley and Bavetta in a relay race…but not by much.

"I'd attribute that mostly to bad shooting." ~G.Hayward, when an interviewer offered his defensive assignments as an excuse for his low 3-pt percentage.
