About Oliver Miller
Oliver J. Miller was an American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was nicknamed "the Big O" because of his large size. Miller played college basketball for the Arkansas Razorbacks and was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the 1992 NBA draft. After his initial stint in the NBA from 1992 to 1998, Miller played overseas and for semi-professional American teams. He returned to the NBA for the 2003–04 season, but later transitioned back to minor-league and semi-professional play. Miller's basketball career ended in 2010.
