I was born in Mitchell, South Dakota on February 19, 1980. I weighed

9 pounds, 15 ounces and was 23 inches long. I was a big baby so I didn't always have the nickname of Skinny.

Mitchell is a city (by SD standards) with a population of approximately 15,000. It is located in the southeastern part of the state along I-90. Agriculture and tourism are our most important industries. They go hand in hand as Mitchell is the home of the World's only Corn Palace. The building is decorated with murals of corn and other grains both inside and out. These murals change on a yearly basis. In the summer it is set up for tourism and in transformed in the winter to a basketball arena that seats 3,200 people. It is one of the best venues in the US for high school basketball and has been featured in the USA Today and SI. I am very fortunate to have played prep basketball in the worlds only Corn Palace.

My parents, Tom and Sheryl, are both educators. My father was a Middle School principal and my mother an elementary teacher. My dad played college basketball at DWU in Mitchell and like my days in Orlando, he wore number 50. I have two older brothers, Ryan and Jared, who also played college ball. Ryan was a high school all-stater and a Division II All-American. He is currently coaching at the University of Memphis under Coach John Calapari. Jared was also a high school all-stater and named preseason All-American by Street and Smith. He wore number 13, my high school and college number. Chelsey is the youngest and like her older brothers she played basketball. Her number was 32 which is Jared and Ryan's high school number. As you can see, the numbers we wear have a significance. I know wear number 33, the same number worn by the best shooter in NBA history, Larry Bird.

My number one hobby was playing basketball. When I did have a little free time growing up, I enjoyed hunting, fishing and golf. Mitchell is one of the best places in the world for pheasant hunting. Stars, such as Sly Stalone and Kevin Costner are known to hunt in South Dakota. I now enjoy watching football and boxing. I am an avid Minnesota Viking and Florida Gator fan. I enjoy watching Manny Pacquia, Floyd Mayweather and Bernard Hopkins. Jennifer, my wife, favorite fighter is Oscar De La Hoya.

When I was younger, I participated in baseball, track, and football as well as basketball. I was the pitcher on the baseball team, quarterback on the football team, and high jumped in track. As I entered high school I specialized more in basketball because it was my first love and I always dreamed of playing in the NBA.

I attended the University of Florida. This is where I met my wife, Jennifer. Jennifer was an All-American volleyball player at the University of Florida. Our first date was on Halloween my Freshman year. Jennifer set the Florida record in digs and ended her career with over 1,000 digs and 1,000 kills. We dated throughout my college days and got married on July 5, 2004 at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. On October 22, 2002 my first son, Mason Ace Miller, was born. Mason is growing like a weed and he definitely keeps Jen and I busy. My second son, Mavrick Mayz Miller, was born on July 2, 2004.

Both of my sons are already constantly playing with basketballs!!!

News Release: Miller Heading To The Timberwolves In Blockbuster Deal -- MEMPHIS – The Grizzlies acquired the draft rights to guard O.J.

Memphis also received guard Marko Jaric, forward Antoine Walker and guard Greg Buckner in exchange for the draft rights to forward Kevin Love (fifth overall), guard/forward Mike Miller, forward Brian Cardinal and center Jason Collins. Miller, the 2000-01 Rookie of the Year and 2005-06 Sixth Man of the Year, averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 371 games (277 starts) in five-plus seasons with Memphis.

News Release: MIKE DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT TRADE TALK -- COMMERCIAL APPEAL: Since the Griz obliged Damon Stoudamire with a contract buyout, traded Stromile Swift and unloaded Pau Gasol's contract for draft picks and salary-cap relief, Miller has been left with a young, rebuilding team and constant speculation that he's next in line to depart Memphis. Miller knows that it's possible that he'll be dealt by the NBA's Feb. 21 trade deadline but he seems unaffected by the notion. "If a deal comes they can't refuse, I don't expect them not to take it," Miller said. "We understand each other. I told them I'm going to play as hard as I can. I'm going to try to win games. And they've been completely honest with me." Miller spoke recently with Griz brass -- owner Michael Heisley, general manager Chris Wallace and head coach Marc Iavaroni. The message conveyed was that anything can happen. But Wallace passionately dispelled a myth making its way around the league. "I've never had more calls from people checking in and registering interest like they have since we made the trade for Pau," Wallace said. "They think we're in a deal mode. Some teams have an erroneous assumption we're just dropping money. "People have interest in our players. So I told these guys we're not trying to dump players. But it's our responsibility as a franchise to look at opportunities. I'll never tell a player he can't be traded. That's just not true. You see Shaquille O'Neal just got traded. "I told Mike that we value him. He's been a terrific asset in the community. He's having a great season. No one is looking to dump him for the sake of dumping. But I also told him people are calling and I can't offer a guarantee (he won't be traded). It would be disingenuous if I did." Once upon a time, a trade rumor had Miller and Hakim Warrick in a larger deal that would have essentially netted the Grizzlies Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers. Another speculative trade involves Miller for Miami's Ricky Davis and his expiring $6.8 million contract. Miller has two years and nearly $19 million left on his contract. What's enticing for potential suitors, though, is one of only three NBA players -- meeting the statistical minimums -- this season shooting better than 50 percent overall, 40 percent from 3-point range and 80 percent from the free-throw line. Then again, it is not inconceivable that the Griz may seek more salary relief during their commitment to a full-scale rebuild through a young nucleus, draft picks and free agency. "It's tough," Miller said of the Grizzlies' predicament. "But as long as they show commitment to me, I'll show commitment to them. When they signed me, they didn't promise me it was going to be all easy. "When I came here we hadn't been to the playoffs and we got there. Now it'll be fun to be a part of a team that makes a playoff push. It's just going to take a lot of work and some time." But does Miller have the patience that the Griz are asking their fans to display? "I have to at this point," Miller said. "Until they tell me I'm no longer with the team my patience is there. I've got to believe in what they're doing; otherwise it would be a struggle to come to work every day. So I believe in what they're doing. They want to win just as bad as I do. Sometimes it's harder to be patient when you've been in the league eight years and tasted success." Wallace emphasized that if Miller is traded, "there will be a basketball reason why we do it." Miller is hoping for more than that when it comes to motivation for a deal. "I wouldn't want to leave this place and go to a place that doesn't have a chance of winning," Miller said. "That's what scares me. ... At least here we care about winning. If teams are making offers right now I hope it's teams that are trying to win a championship."

He will be missed. “This deal provides us with a significant amount of assets – two first round picks, the draft rights to Pau’s brother Marc, who has emerged into the top big man in Spain, a talented young point guard in Crittenton and a sizeable amount of salary cap room over the next few years.” Memphis will receive two protected first round draft picks from the Lakers in 2008 and 2010, while the Lakers will receive the Grizzlies’ 2010 second round pick. Entering his seventh NBA season, Brown owns career averages 7.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.1 minutes in 389 games (185 starts) with the Washington Wizards and Lakers. The 6-11, 270-pound pound forward/center was the first high school player ever selected first overall (Glynn Academy H.S.) when the Wizards took him the No. 1 pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. Brown, 25, was averaging 5.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 23 games (14 starts) this season. He posted career highs of 10.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in 30.3 minutes in the 2003-04 campaign with the Wizards. Crittenton, the 19th overall pick in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft, is averaging 3.3 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 7.8 minutes in 22 games this season as a rookie. The 6-5, 200-pound guard scored a career-high 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting, while handing out a career-high tying three assists, in a career-high 24 minutes vs. Philadelphia on Jan. 4. The 20-year-old helped Georgia Tech to a 20-12 record and berth in the NCAA Tournament as a freshman last season. He finished his career with the Yellow Jackets averaging 14.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.0 steals in 32 games played. McKie, a 13-year NBA veteran, averaged 7.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists for the Portland Trail Blazers, Detroit Pistons, Philadelphia 76ers and the Lakers. The 6-5, 209-pound guard signed with Los Angeles on August 26, 2005, but played in only 24 games with the Lakers in his final two seasons. Marc Gasol, Pau’s younger brother and the 48th overall pick in the 2007 Draft, is currently playing for Akasvayu Girona (Spain). The 7-1, 280-pound center was a part of the gold-medal winning Spanish National Team at the 2006 FIBA World Championship along with brother Pau and current Grizzlies rookie guard Juan Carlos Navarro. Marc, 23, played high school basketball for Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis. The only All-Star in franchise history (2006), Pau Gasol holds career averages of 18.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 blocks in 476 games in eight seasons with the Grizzlies. Gasol is the franchise’s all-time leader in 12 statistical categories, including points (8,966), rebounds (4,096) and blocks (877). In 39 games this season, Gasol has averaged 18.9 points, a team-high 8.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.44 blocks while shooting 50.1 percent in 36.7 minutes per game. The third overall pick of the 2001 NBA Draft, Memphis acquired Gasol from the Atlanta Hawks along with Lorenzen Wright and Brevin Knight in exchange for Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Gasol, 27, went onto win the 2001-02 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and led the Grizzlies to franchise’s first three playoff appearances in 2004, 2005 and 2006. E-

News Release: MIKE MILLER DONATES $1 MILLION TO SANFORD CHILDREN’S -- May 23, 2007 MIKE MILLER DONATES $1 MILLION TO SANFORD CHILDREN’S Announcement Made during Groundbreaking Ceremony for New Children’s Hospital Building (Sioux Falls, SD) – Many children view him as a hero because of his skill as a basketball player and his numerous charitable and volunteer efforts. Today, children around the country have another reason to think of Mike Miller as a hero. Sanford Health announced today during a groundbreaking ceremony for a new children’s hospital building that Mitchell, South Dakota native and NBA player Mike Miller and his wife Jennifer are donating $1 million to help ill children. The money will establish the Mike and Jennifer Miller Endowment Fund which will provide support for Sanford Children’s Hospital. Out of tremendous gratitude, Sanford has named its pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) the Mike and Jennifer Miller Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. “Everybody in South Dakota knows Mike as a basketball player,” says Sanford Health President and CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft. “Mike and Jen will long be remembered for their charity and philanthropy. Mike’s basketball life is being used for much more than what people see...he and Jen are going to directly impact the lives of children and families. Mike and his family are a blessing to our region and its people.” Sanford Health officially broke ground on a new Sanford Children’s Hospital building today during a ceremony in Sioux Falls. With an anticipated completion of 2009, this new building will provide inpatient, outpatient and clinic services for pediatric patients and their families in a family-centered environment designed to meet the unique healing needs of children. A leader in children’s healthcare for nearly a century, Sanford Children’s will continue to revolutionize healthcare with this new facility and the care provided by the most comprehensive and diverse team of pediatric physicians, pediatric staff and services in the region. The new building will also serve as a home base for five new pediatric clinics to be built in North America in the next ten years. Miller joins several other donors who have the desire to help children when they are most vulnerable. Mr. Denny Sanford began the dream of a new children’s hospital building with his donation of $16 million in 2004. “Jennifer and I are blessed to have the opportunity to contribute to the Sanford Children’s Hospital during its groundbreaking phase,” says Mike Miller. “The gift not only reflects a continuing commitment to my home state of South Dakota, but also acts as a reminder to Jen and myself for our enormous good fortune in having two happy and healthy sons. Hopefully in this small way we can spread our blessings to others in need.” Mike Miller is a six year NBA veteran and current member of the Memphis Grizzlies. This past week, he was chosen to join other top NBA players on this summer’s Team USA. Miller participates in many charitable and volunteer efforts including the Mike Miller Foundation. His foundation encourages kids to enjoy a healthy lifestyle, and provides aid to disadvantaged or disabled children. He and his wife, Jennifer, have two sons, Mason and Mavrick.
