Miller made history as a college superstar, leading her team to back-to-back NCAA titles in the early ‘80s. She racked up nearly every major award possible, earning Player of the Year honors multiple times. Later, she coached at the university level, then stepped up to lead a WNBA team before shifting into broadcasting. Her resume—spanning Hall of Fame induction, Olympic gold, and multiple world championships—shows why she stands out in the sport.Her broadcasting career has already taken her across several networks, covering games and offering insights. Now, she’ll work alongside established voices like Maria Taylor and Sue Bird when the league returns. For Miller, this gig isn’t just another job—it’s a chance to highlight the WNBA’s growing influence under a new broadcasting deal that locks in NBC and Peacock rights through 2036. With fresh eyes on the game, she could help fans see the bigger picture beyond just the highlights.
