A Video Tribute to Mike Miller

Mike Miller was recently waived by the Miami Heat, who used their Amnesty provisions to clear his salary from their cap.  Miller has had some legendary moments with the Heat, including some of the mightiest playoff heroics we have ever seen.  He has been famously known to "let it fly" and has done so with mastery and grace.  Lets take a look back at some of our favorite "Miller time" moments from his tenure with the Miami Heat!


Who will forget this moment from the 2013 Finals against the Spurs when Miller hit a 3 pointer with only 1 shoe on.  This shot was vital in the Heat's attempts to comeback from a double digit deficit during an elimination game 6.
During the closing minutes of a blow-out game 2 in Miami, Miller's behind the head pass to a dunking LeBron surely ignited the crowd.
Miller had many great friends on the team, but when the Heat added colorful Chris "Birdman" Andersen in January, the pair of "crazy ass white boys" took the south Florida scene by storm. 
On a night where LeBron would play Millers role, making 7 3's, Miller would play the role of LeBron, throwing down a sweet lob from Dwyane Wade. 
Miller made history when he added his name to the record books as a 10,000 point scorer.  He reached that threshold by draining back to back 3's against OKC on Christmas day.
Most of all, Miller was extremely helpful in bringing Miami its second title in 2012.  Draining 7 threes and two free throws en route to 23 points, Miller was instrumental to the Heat's game 5 Blowout victory that sent the Thunder packing.  


We will always remember Miller as a guy who made big shots when they mattered most.  He will be greatly missed in Miami for his shot making, leadership, awesome playoff moments, and most of all, LETTING IT FLY!
