February 23, 20232 yr Apparently, Miller was already on his way to pick up Miles and was almost there when he texted him to bring his gun. The gun was already in his car. I don't want to say that this is a nothing burger because what the fuck are you doing driving around with your buddy's gun in the backseat of your car, but his culpability in all this seems pretty low. It doesn't seem like he drove there purposefully to deliver the murder weapon. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35713382/alabama-says-brandon-miller-play-south-carolina Quote "Darius had been asking Brandon to come pick him up for close to an hour," Byrne added. "Brandon was already on his way to pick Darius up when he received the text message for him that was reported yesterday." Jim Standridge, one of the attorneys representing Miller, released a statement Wednesday reiterating some of those points in an attempt to "provide additional facts on Brandon's behalf in response to misstatements in reporting yesterday regarding Brandon." According to Standridge, Miller was already on his way to pick up Miles when Miles texted him to bring him his gun on the night of the shooting. Standridge wrote that Miller never saw Miles' handgun and that it was "concealed under some clothing in the back seat" of Miller's car. He added that Miller never touched the gun or was involved in its exchange to Davis, the alleged shooter.

February 23, 20232 yr Taking the lawyers' word at face value, this is a perfect example of why you have to let some assholes go. Your supposed friend left his gun in your car and didn't tell you. So now a future NBA lottery pick is riding around with a loaded gun. Cops pull him over, and anything could happen.I've hung some shitty people in my life, but even they wouldn't leave something in my vehicle without my knowledge. And then getting a text about a gun you didn't know you had should spur some type of follow up. Miller should make the most of his 2nd chance because he most likely got away with some serious shit.

I don't know enough about the Ray Lewis case to speak as intelligently about it as others. But if he didn't actually physically murder somebody, he was part of a group that did, and he did some pretty shitty things in that situation. However, by all accounts he seems to have led a decent life since, kept himself out of trouble, been a positive leader among teammates and in the community, and of course had one hell of an NFL career. Does that absolve him of whatever he did 2000? No. But he made the most of a second chance, and I'm sure it was after a lot of "God, please get me through this" type conversations. Who knows if Miller has a sports career that is anywhere in the realm of Ray Lewis's. But if the evidence uncovered is not enough to charge or convict him of a crime, then wherever life takes him he'd be wise to earn his second chance like Ray Lewis did.

But then I read the cousin of the victim, who returned fire from inside the jeep with his own gun, was able to drive away. It's not like the two statements are completely incongruent...but they're a little incongruent. I'm guessing that when the driver of the Jeep started to return fire and two shots hit Miller's windshield, he got the fuck out of the way.

One thing about the Ray Lewis case that I don't believe is going to play out here, is that the murder trial ended in an acquittal. I also didn't follow closely, but wasn't sure if that was a big factor in his redemption.

But still, to borrow from Brothahorn, even though Ray was acquitted, I think he still got away with some serious shit.
February 23, 20232 yr It’s amazing sometimes the enormous impact of simple decisions in life. If Miller would have gone back earlier to get him when Miles texted, if Miles would have said fuck it and texted someone else for a ride when Miller wouldn’t come back, if Miller would have put the gun up and said you can get it later, etc, it all plays out so much differently.
February 23, 20232 yr Who knows if Miller has a sports career that is anywhere in the realm of Ray Lewis's. That’s part of the deal here. He is really good, top 5 lotto pick. He gets compared to Anfernee Hardaway coming out of Memphis on sports talk shows.

Don’t let Ray Lewis fool you, he is and always has been a giant piece of shit and horrific human being. He was very publicly Ray Rice’s closest mentor on the Ravens, and look how his protégé turned out.

Miller is like a 3 and D guy with some offensive upside.

February 26, 20232 yr I am sure that the family and friends of Jamea Harris thought the pat-down pregame shit was awesome. I get how talented he is. He’s also a dumbass. And possibly worse. It’s tough to have sympathy for the player after the pat-down bs. you’d think he at least understand the gravity of the situation and have some levity. I get it. He’s young and blah blah blah…I kinda hope his professional career goes up in flames but sincerely doubt that it will.
