[Jeff Goodman] Brandon Miller told me a story of how he met Jayson Tatum a couple years ago and had no clue who he was.



Between this, not knowing who Khris Middleton and Jonas Valanciunas are and proclaiming Paul George as the GOAT, Brandon Miller has become quite the controversial figure recently in NBA circles.

The rookie has had a bumpy start to his NBA career so far in the summer league with a few subpar performances but managed to bounce back in his most recent game and then got shut down for the rest of summer league.

Only time will tell if he should’ve been drafted over Scoot Henderson but if his destiny in the NBA is anything like his NBA takes then the Hornets might be in for an unfortunate break of events.

    Imagine being so good at Basketball and not giving a shit about it (the sport) at the same time

  2. cactus_jack_1

    I don’t think not watching basketball has a huge correlation to actually being good at basketball. As long as he watches film and improves its not a big worry.

    But it is kind of hilarious how he straight up doesn’t watch the nba despite being the 2nd overall pick.

    At this point, I’m fully expecting Brandon Miller meeting Joe Biden and saying “Hey old man, you look like Walter from Jeff Dunham’s ventriloquism act!. Want an autograph? What’s your name?”.

  4. Frequent-Cap4953

    This dude might be the GOAT Paul George stan. Literally does not watch anybody else but him 😂

  5. readysetgo3712

    I see why he think Paul George is the GOAT now

  6. singh853

    Ok, now I’m curious. We need to discover the most famous NBA player that he has no idea about. Tatum is definitely up there, but I think we can go even farther.

  7. Top-Consequence-911

    Opposite of those twins when it comes to basketball knowledge.

    If he turns out to be great, he can use this to be fabled like Jokic and his horses or Giannis and his oreos.

  8. russfan0987

    Tatum a couple a years ago was a 20 year old sophomore who hadn’t made an all star game, this is going too far now

  9. sewsgup

    i think he just tends to troll a lot, based on all the clips since he got drafted

  10. MagicalHurdles

    The Onion: Can Brandon Miller name 5 players from the NBA not named Paul George?

  11. craigslistaddict

    has there ever been a face-blind nba player?

  12. Dude thinks PG is the goat. He’s the least informed player I’ve seen in years.

  13. New_Essay_4869

    Dude got drafted by Michael Jordan. Might not even know who Michael Jordan is

  14. Page_302

    – So, Brandon, your comments have caused quite a stir on Reddit…

    – Red what?

  15. FieldsFanclub

    I’ve never seen a young player be this ignorant when it comes to the sport they PLAY

  16. _Zap_Rowsdower_

    Brandon Miller more like Brad Miller.

  17. Beleiverofhumanity

    Khris Middleton and Jonas Valanciunas were already sus but Tatum has been the face of Celts for awhile now tf?

  18. TinTinsKnickerbocker

    Thats too trivial to be controversial

  19. Trash-Panda917

    Miller every NBA game: “Who tf are all these guys???”

  20. This is Anthony Edwards on steroids lol. I love this guy.

  21. GooseMay0

    This dude sounds like an absolute dumbass. He’s at home with the Hornets.

  22. 1234567panda

    Lol Gen. Z be wildin. You got Grady, this dude, Zion, Ja. They all on different sides of the ridiculous spectrum 😂

  23. Mysterious_Emotion63

    The Celtics are literally a top 3 most mainstream team no matter how you rank it, to not know who their star player is, that’s fucking insane. Guys like Tatum and Middleton should be the blueprint for a guy like Miller. I truly believe he’s gonna be getting bullied by the whole league this season after all this came out.

  24. Sauce-King

    Is this like a Brandon Milller thing?

  25. Drawing_The_Line

    I heard he thought Zion was just a place from The Matrix movies.

  26. JudaiTerumi

    Y’all are blowing this WAY out of proportion. But wanna talk about ME💀

  27. Emera1dthumb

    Kids who don’t know about the game scare me. It most likely means he doesn’t like basketball and he doesn’t watch and love the game. He will struggle to commit to the game. Drafted way to high. Yikes

  28. Right-Worth-6327

    Shout out to the Hornets for taking this guy at 2 and not letting him fall to 4.

  29. AfternoonCouncilor

    Didn’t Anthony Edwards say he didn’t watch the NBA too?

  30. Devoidoxatom

    I hope he really pans out. Would be hilarious to be that oblivious about anyone and still ball out
