MILLER EYEING PBA RETURN, WANTS TO TEST PRINGLE
Left without a team before the season started, two-time MVP Willie Miller is aching for a return trip to the PBA.
“Syempre, sa PBA, ibang level na. Best of the best yung nandyan. Kaya nga mga professional ang naglalaro dyan, di pwedeng so-so ka lang. Yung competition level, sobrang taas na,” he said.
Suiting up in a local league in Marikina, the 37-year-old Miller bared that there are offers for him to return to the PBA. However, there are some concerns when it comes to the negotiations and he still doesn’t want to jump the gun.
“Meron namang mga offers. Ang daming mga chika moments eh. Pero syempre, hangga’t hindi final, hindi pa totoo,” he said.
Miller said that he’s still bidding his time when he makes his comeback, but the 5-foot-11 guard said that the competitive fire is still burning inside of him, and he wants a piece of the rookies once that much awaited redemption tour happens.
And he has one guy in mind.
“Gusto ko makalaban yung (Stanley) Pringle, kasi sinasabi nila, sobrang tulin, sobrang galing. Gusto ko yung challenge eh. Chinachallenge ko yung sarili ko,” Miller said.
“Sana makatapat ko sila, yung mga rookies, para at least ma-gauge ko yung sarili ko. Sabi nila bata yun, magaling yun, so yun ang gusto ko patunayan sa sarili ko, na kaya ko pa.” (RL)
