It’s actually pretty wild. I always assume these guys are obsessed with the NBA and it’s so weird to me that a high profile rookie has no idea who guys as good as those two are.
That’s fucking crazy wtf
When he sees LaMelo: “who is you?”
That’s a bad sign to me. I guarantee you Scoot knows those guys.
Maybe Miller is more into a Elgin Baylor/Dave Cowens kind of guy.

Yeah I mean I get they are playing rather than watching but that seems weird to not know who Middleton is.
What are the chances Brandon Miller met Michael Jordan and had no idea who he was
I remember the 2017 rookies were tested on nba rules and history and most of them didnt know much. Ive just assumed most guys dont really know the league when they come in, idk why even 15 20 years ago would be different.
feel like that has to be a red flag that he doesn’t really care about ball like that but what do i know
Not knowing khris middleton is wild lol. I can maybe see not instantly recognizing Jonas but Middleton is on TV all the time and is an all star lol.
All they know now is be bi-sexual, twerk and eat hot chip smh
All kids now a days know is how to wear pajama pants tucked into socks and bright colored crocs
Did we ever find out who else was on Miller’s favorite player list after PG?
how he not know middleton 💀
In fairness Brandon Miller seems extremely stupid all around
anyone gonna talk about how he also took lavine over butler
Not knowing middleton is actually wild. Feel like he’s gunna get humbled in his rookie year. To be an all star and champion requires a level of dedication and talent. If miller don’t pay attention in the scouting report he’s easily gunna get 30 dropped on his head lol everyone in the league can ball, especially vets who’ve had to earn their stay
*Bill Simmons furiously punches the air in celebration*
Brandon Miller grew up a huge fan of football. His dad played TE at Alabama. He just happens to be super good at basketball and tall and skinny.
Uh oh… is Middleton the type of guy who takes things personally?
now it makes sense his GOAT is Paul George lol
not knowing a multiple time all star is just insane.
Bro not knowing who Khris Middleton is should legitimately be fineable
It’s funny how ge call them “youngins” and he 25🤣😂
Now it makes sense that he has PG13 as his Goat, probably just thought of NBA 2k17
Middleton was the 2nd best player on a championship team two years ago
I know he’s relatively low profile for an All Star but to have never heard of him is kind of wild.
Nah man being in the league and not knowing who Kris Middleton is is insane
