Michael Lloyd Miller (born February 19, 1980) is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the University of Florida, and was selected by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2000 NBA draft. He has also played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, Washington Wizards and Miami Heat. He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2001, and the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2006. Miller won back-to-back NBA championships with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. He is a swingman who is primarily a three-point specialist.

Miller accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida, where he played for coach Billy Donovan's Florida Gators men's basketball team from 1998 until 2000. He quickly became known for his ability to hit the three-pointer. As a sophomore, Miller led the Gators to the 2000 NCAA Championship game, losing to Michigan State Spartans. He hit perhaps the most dramatic shot of the tournament that year in the opening round against Butler Bulldogs. As the fifth-seeded Gators trailed the underdog Bulldogs by one, Miller drove to the basket and laid it in as time expired. After the 2000 NCAA Tournament, he declared himself eligible for the NBA draft.
