Role players will spell the
difference in a long post-season play. If a team plays all four best-of-seven
series to the limit, that will be a total of 28 grueling games en route to the championship. The stars will
definitely need help from everybody just to sustain the much-needed momentum
towards a title run. That is what veteran sharp-shooter Mike Miller brings to the
Miami Heat. With all the focus on defense concentrated on Miami’s deadly trio of Lebron James, Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh, role players like Miller could be considered as the x-factor. Miller,
who has not won a single playoff series in his pro career, certainly loves his
role in the Heat line-up and adds that there are lot of positive things a role
player can bring to a team, according to the Sporting News.
“I don’t think role player necessarily means you’re
not any good. There are role players who can do a lot of things. But at the
same time, we’ve got to be able to be accountable for what we’re supposed to do
on the floor. With D-Wade, LeBron and C.B., they’re going to ask us to do
different things than they’d ask us to do on different teams. Those are our
roles. It doesn’t mean we’re not any good.”
