More of Miller’s comments from Rick Alonzo/Pioneer Press:
"While I believe this opinion is somewhat jaded and
skewed, I think it speaks for itself. K.G. is a consummate
professional, one of the most competitive and team-success driven
players I’ve ever known and probably anyone in the NBA has ever known.
His effort and care and consideration for the game of basketball and
for his teammates, the organization and the individuals that play with
him speaks for itself."

Miller says Garnett was injured.
"He was absolutely injured at the end of last
season," Miller said. "He was injured throughout the entire season and
played through the injury. There’s nothing K.G. wanted more than to win
and bring a championship to Minnesota. Anyone that would question his
effort is delusional and self-serving.
