Mike Miller was on his couch in his Eads home, just outside of Memphis, when the call came in. It was Mario Banchero, the father of former Duke freshman Paolo Banchero. “We’re coming to LIFT,” he told Miller. Mama, we made it. He didn’t say it out loud, but it was the first thought that came to the former NBA sharpshooter’s mind. LIFT is Let it Fly Team Sports Management, where Miller serves as president. Founded in 2020, it’s his latest venture in the basketball world after having spent 17 years in the NBA as a player, two seasons at the University of Memphis as an assistant coach and one season as the coach at Houston High School.
