Reggie Miller: The biography (All things basketball)

By STARR HART

Before Reggie Miller ever drained a three-pointer with a defender's hand in his face, before he silenced Madison Square Garden with a mere flick of his wrist, and long before he became the face of Indiana basketball, he was just a boy with crooked legs and a quiet fire in his heart. Reggie Miller was born on August 24, 1965, in Riverside, California, into what can only be described as a family of extraordinary athletic DNA. His parents, Saul and Carrie Miller, raised five children--each unique, but all gifted in their own way. Athletic excellence wasn't something taught in the Miller household--it was expected. It was in the air, at the dinner table, and definitely on the basketball court in the backyard. But Reggie's journey didn't start on equal footing. Quite literally. He was born with severe hip deformities, and as a toddler, he wore leg braces to help correct a congenital defect. While other children were racing through parks and playgrounds, Reggie was learning how to walk--step by painful step. Those early years were filled with frustration, but they also planted something deeper in him: resilience. The kind that isn't loud or showy. The kind that grows in silence, buried deep, until one day it explodes.
