Taken from Timberwolves reporter Mike Trudell's conversation with Miller:One of Miller's hardest drills is this: A three-point make is +1 and a miss -1, and he has to get to 50. So he could make 49 in a row, miss one and he'd need two straight makes to finish. Miss five, make five and you're at zero. Try that sometime with NBA threes ... Or you could dunk on Dwight Howard, out-swim Michael Phelps, beat Rafael Nadal on clay or broker a permanent peace deal between Israel and Palestine.
He made 36-straight threes to conclude Monday's workout. That's decent.
The former Sixth Man and Rookie of the Year (you forgot about those awards - be honest) goes at game speed throughout his workout, and he shoots more than just stand-still jumpers. Try step backs, curls, bumps, one-dribble pull ups and more (game situation shooting, basically).
For his warm up, Miller must make 10 shots from seven spots on the floor, and can't miss more than four shots (or he starts over).
I guess this is why Mike Miller is in the NBA. These guys are the hardest working players in the World!

Nice write up on Mike Miller. I didn't realize these guys had to work so hard. But, I guess that's what sets some of these guys a part from those who never make it.
