Mike Miller

Mike Miller has been NBCSports.com's college basketball editor since 2003. It's a position he relishes; no wonder considering he transferred to Kansas to watch Paul Pierce play. Most of his favorite sports memories involve college hoops, usually during March, when every waking moment is spent thinking about March Madness.



Duke's prize recruit also acts!

Kyrie Irving’s slated to be Duke’s next great guard. The 6-1, 165-pound point guard, is one of the top recruits for the class of 2010 thanks to his ball-handling, savvy passing and leadership.

More impressive? He brings actual thespian skills to Durham.

Irving acted in his school’s rendition of “High School Musical,” which is a natural for him. It’s all about basketball players and how they deal with off-court pressures. (C’mon, don’t act like you haven’t seen it.) Sounds like he had a blast doing it – even when hoops got in the way. Wow! Art imitates life!

This video from the Newark Star-Ledger features some singing, some dancing and Irving's take on everything.

Anyway, it’ll be a big help for Duke when/if they produce more fodder for next year’s Midnight Madness.

And I can only imagine how many cracks he'll get about "acting" whehn he takes a charge...
