Love for LeBron James connects Memphis basketball assistant Mike Miller to 5-star Ziaire Williams

Posted May 14, 2019
Five-star forward Ziaire Williams always has been a fan of LeBron James. But with that fandom – which he described as die-hard – comes another type of loyalty. "As a LeBron fan, especially when he was in Miami, you have to be a Mike Miller fan, too," said Williams, a 2020 5-star basketball recruit. "So when he first texted me, I was like, 'No way, that's Coach Mike.'" (Memphis Commercial Appeal)
