He got the NBA shite as publicity stunts. I heard he was pretty garbage and just jacked up 20 threes at the urec. I doubt he ever stepped foot on the court at Houston or was offered any scholarships. He made all that up when he was a 40 year old rapper and Google didn't exist.

I was working at Benny's in like 2000 and I would see P, C murder, and Silk along with the rest of the entourage at least once a week it seemed like. And of course the rec. Ran into Mystikal at that record store in the business mall with the Caterie and roly poly.

Might want to check on that. His son got a full ride because he was friends with DeMar DeRosan

From wiki
quote:

As a senior, during the 2006–2007 high school season, he averaged 8.6 points and 9.0 assists per game.


quote:

In the summer of 2006, Miller was invited to the Reebok-sponsored ABCD Camp, which is considered the premier basketball camp in the United States. The Teaneck, New Jersey-based camp is an invitation-only basketball showcase previously attended by high-profile National Basketball Association (NBA) players including Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. Surrounded by future NBA players such as O. J. Mayo, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Love, Miller averaged less than 2 points a game and struggled throughout the camp. Sonny Vaccaro, the longtime director of the ABCD Camp, explained that he invited Miller to the 2006 camp, "primarily as a favor to Percy Miller (Romeo's father Master P), whom he knew from the club basketball circuit." Vaccaro also said, "If you're looking for the profile of an athlete who plays basketball at USC, he's not it."[63]


quote:

According to The Wall Street Journal, the decision to grant Miller a full scholarship at USC was largely driven by his relationship with friend and teammate DeMar DeRozan, the 6-foot-6 All-American forward who was rated as the number five prospect in the country on Scout.com, and his father's influence. The Wall Street Journal reported Coach Tim Floyd as saying, "Last April ... Percy Miller called while driving both players from a tournament in Fayetteville, Ark ... Percy Miller said 'Demar and Romeo are ready to make their decision, and would you like to have them both on scholarship?' ... 'I said absolutely.'"[63] Miller and DeRozan began playing in the 2008–2009 season.

Whatever happened to his (RIP Kevin Miller) brother’s nephew who played for Catholic High back in 2009? Did he play college ball anywhere?

I played JUCO in the late 80’s and if I remember we tried him out for a scholly but never made it. We had a bunch of talent but no one ever went past D1.
