All this talk lately about who’s the GOAT of women’s hoops. Caitlin Clark is awesome, and the greatest scorer, but Cheryl Miller is the GOAT!
I lover Miller too but Woodard could flat out score the ball. And by the Lynette and Cheryl both played with a regular sized ball.
Yep she is the GOAT. It's like all those folks saying Lebron is the GOAT, when everyone knows it's MJ.
Every knows it's MJ. Everyone knows it's Cheryl.....@@reggaefan2700
She is so beautifully outgoing
Caitlin is a looser. Periodt
An inspiration. I don't know her personally, but I was a couple of years behind her at USC, a "nobody" walking down the steps of the gym one day, she was walking up...she saw me, flashed a smile, and said hi. Made my day. This was around 85/86, when she was going through all the turmoil and she still managed to brighten a total stranger's day with a nice gesture. I've been a fan ever since. She's a classic.
The real G.O.A.T. Of Women’s Basketball!!! This was an amazing interview and she really is the best basketball and person of all time!
The Greatest All-Round Complete Female Basketball Athlete I Ever Seen. The Great Cheryl Miller. The WNBA Started Too Late For Her To Compete.
Absolutely agree!
1000% Correct!
Exactly 💯
I love this whole interview. Dan is a brilliant interviewer. Dan’s close connection and trust with Reggie is apparent in terms of how they are so comfortable in this interview. Reggie sounds so much like her, and it’s obvious that he patterned hisself around her in so many ways. Kudos for him for always respecting her publicly and not just in private. He’s always said she was better than him. As far as Cheryl goes, imagine her coming along about 8 years later and with better mental health and physical support. She’d have dominated the W beyond even what Houston did in dominance. But it wasn’t meant to be. I am glad she’s at peace.
She made waves nobody has ever done in a pro league before. The First Black women to be Named coach and GM, for the WNBA team. The impact can never be measured. We can be and do anything we so desire.
The perfect description…”You were a great basketball player.” Well said Dan.
Key word: were
@@mattalbrecht7471what are you trying to say??????
Great interview! Cheryl hit some chords that caused me to reach for tissues as well! I was not a great dad coach and that impacted my relationship with my daughter in the past. Her reflection of dad as the necessary “task master” displayed great wisdom, and at times great pain. All dads should see this interview, so that they can listen to their daughter’s heart and understand what’s most important! Thank you Dan for creating that safe place for Cheryl, and Cheryl thank you for taking us there with you!
Turning 60, and was a huge fan of hoop in the '80's. Coach ball, too. The thing that makes C. Miller special is her toughness. She sticks her nose into it. Very physical, and attacks the basket. That is very special for a ball player, and for the women's game it is very rare. During that era, she was unstoppable.
Totally Got That Right!!!!!
Carmelo Anthony ish.
Back in the '80s Cheryl Miller scored 100 points on my high school across town NOVI HS female team was in tears 😅
It was 105 right? That was so crazy to me. In High school. She was ballin
Great to see you Cheryl, Absolutely Love & admire this family, pure class, Possibly the greatest Brother & Sista act ever
I love this woman! 🤗 She is chock-full of wisdom, class, and positivity. I don't think she's shy either. She's probably an introvert but she's definitely NOT "shy." Thank you Cheryl! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Cheryl is not only the 🐐 she owns the Farm 👍👍
Enough Said!!!!!
Love this…stealing it.
I’m stealing it too😊
Cheryl Miller is the GOAT. She was the person that got me to watch women’s basketball. It was one of her NCAAW championship game. She played like a guy. Her team was so dominating. They were one of the best NCAAW teams in history. I had the opportunity to meet her prior to boarding the plane to New Orleans for Olympics trial. She and one of the McGee twins probably bumped me from first class that day.
Awesome interview!! The G.O.A.T!!!!
Ditto That!!!!!
The Great Cheryl Miller!!!
I absolutely love this girl. She made me recognize who she was as a womens player, and this is from a former Mens college asst . She was great. When i mean cold she could flat out play
I remember Cheryl! She’s a sweetheart! I saw her play while I was in High School. Watching her play with the same number as me 31, motivated me to give it my all. So I understood her passion on the court. The tv doesn’t do justice to the women’s game. I read about her 105 night, but when I saw her play Cal…the press they put on and the steals she had was really motivated me on defense. There hasn’t really been a player like her yet. Candace Parker came close, but, Cheryl could actually controllably handle the rock 🏀
WOW. The greatness and the personalities of Dan Patrick and Cheryl Miller made this one of the best sports interviews ever. I remember watching Cheryl Miller in the 1984 Olympics and thinking that she was twice as good as anyone on the court with her all around great game. If the WNBA had existed in 1986 and she never tore her ACL there is no question that she would have dominated the league for 15 years. She was decades ahead of her time in women's basketball -- just watch her form and elevation on her jump shot -- and her great athleticism. I have always said that Miller was the greatest women's basketball player of all time until Caitlin Clark's breakout season last year. Clark has yet to prove it at the next level but I think she will and 10 years from now she will go down as the greatest player ever. Even if Clark does this it will not take away from the greatness of Miller who held that title for 40-50 years (at least in my eyes).
Well Said!!!!!
Even when Caitlin does dominate the W, Cheryl Miller will still be the greatest Women Basketball Player ever. It the all around person I’m measuring and nobody is taking that away from her. Without social media, she had the viewers and the following and she did it in a span of a decade or so. Then the explosion expanded in the W and TNT. It was her love for the game that evolved her. Nothing can’t beat Love❤️
@@drdomonisahurley Yes and no. Right now Miller is still the GOAT overall but Clark will be after she tears up the WNBA for the next 15 years (barring major injuries). And while Miller had a more successful college career for all 4 years Clark has played at a higher level the last 2 years than any women if college basketball history.
You joking right? CC has played better than anyone else at the college level? Better than Cheryl? Staley? Swoopes, Lobo and those other UConn players and so many others. CC score 30 because the team had no other weapons Put defense on her and she gives u 20
@@jamaicanlawyergirl No, I'm serious.
Cheryl was the ☝🏽 who paved the way for WNBA.. She still looks just as beautiful as she did when she was playing basketball 🏀.. She would have probably beaten some NBA players when she was at her prime! 👍🏽🙏🏽
I love her too but she's not beating any professional men
For me! This is the best Undeniable interview of them all. I love it!
I love interviews that makes me think, laugh and sometimes cry...great job.
Great Interview! We LOVE You Cheryl Miller!!!! #TheGOAT
Cheryl Miller is the greatest woman's basketball player ever. She would have dominated the WNBA, period. She dominated grown men!! Respect truth and history!!
What a great interview (by one of the best…thanks Dan) with a great person…thanks Cheryl Miller for sharing yourself with us. I had heard of you (Reggie’s sister), sorry. But now I know he is your brother. And now I realize you were a trailblazer. Being in Iowa, I’ve joined the Caitlyn Clark band wagon. She’s really good, even great. But she stands on your (and others’) shoulders. I admire your humility, graciousness and competitiveness. Thanks!
I never met you but I love you Cheryl,always have. lol, I’ve been talking about you my whole life. I’m 55 now and I always say don’t forget about Cheryl Miller, did you see her play, she was magical.❤❤❤❤😊😅
Lover her attitude. a true winner
So awesome!!! Truly one of the greats!! Things like this should be required viewing for women's ballers and new (loud and wrong) fans!😅
I hope Cheryl Miller does more interviews keep her name alive...I wish she do a interview where fans can ask questions....I never hear her talk about the other great players she played wit like Teresa Edwards,Katrina Mcclain,Teresa Weatherspoon,Janice Lawerence...And how did it feel that players her age got to play in the WNBA and she didnt
Dare to be different. Cheryl Miller did it not only with words but displayed it .
Great Presentation! And well deserved recognition of an amazing basketball player and women!
This was a great interview and so appreciated. However, I wish she would have spoken more about WBB and the outstanding players of today. I wish she would have spoken about a particular coach or player that had changed her life. TY, Cheryl Miller, for giving your mother and father so many props.
Love the family stories: It took a mom and a dad to produce two HOF basketball players. Two decent human beings, too.
The Black community needs to confront the crisis of broken families.
It's human to have problems. It's human to help each other.
Don't be ashamed of being human. If you need help, get it.
Thanks for that encouragement, Cheryl.
One of the best to ever pick up a 🏀 like Dan said, period. Incredible interview too, I needed this. I'm a huge Cheryl Miller fan. ❤️ Thanks.
This was a complete joy to experience and listen to two ultimate professionals who obviously have much love and fondness for each other.
Lot of shy people like Cheryl who are great in front of a camera! She truly paved the way for women on and off the court!
Cheryl Miller is the one celebrity I wish I could meet because she seems so funny and down to earth and also her brother, Reggie. They grew up in Riverside which is just an hour away from me.
Great interview. She is definitely the GOAT! Very heart warming story.❤
So Love & Basketball was really about Cheryl Miller?!! Wow!!
Excellent interview.. I ve always said finishing 1st all the time is unrealistic. Cause in LIFE you wont always finish 1st. But the character you build , and how u realize it will take to top. So in yhe End you'll finish 1st in respect and in LIFE.
She did it without any help. She earned everything she got.
Great interview! There were two women who was my inspiration, My Mom and Cheryl Miller. I followed her whole career. One day I will meet her to say thank you for just being her.
This was a good one. Glad I watched.
My dad and I were fortunate enough to watch Cheryl and the Magee twins at Notre Dame, long before ND was ND. What a show those three put on. "You were a great basketball player.", now I need some Kleenex.
LOVE THIS INTERVIEW
Such a great interview! Wow!
Cheryl Miller is the only female basketball player that I watched and appreciated. She was better then Reggie and should have had as long and fruitful pro career as he did. Unfortunately, women's BB has never had the following. I always felt bad that she didn't get the chance to earn the really big bucks and following. Not only is she the GOAT, she is a wonderful human.
Amazing sit down!!!
Great interview. Learned a lot about the GOAT
My Favorite Basketball Player of All Times!!!!!
The greatest!
YEP!!!!!
Boys and Girls let me tell you the legend of Cheryl Miller. The Basketball Player that made the world tell the best shooter of his generation we hope you’re half as good as your sister.
Totally awesome interview. What year was this interview done?
This lady is the GOAT!
I love the way Cheryl and Reggie support each other. They are both so animated. It's time to get the both together for an interview.
Great content
Damn yalll. I’m all in on women’s basketball. They have taken the spotlight. The WNBA draft was an event last night 5-17-24.
I can’t help wondering if Cynthia Cooper was the teammate that she punched before the 1986 title game. Can’t help notice Coop seemingly being bothered by something on her face as they were coming out of the tunnel onto the floor at the 31:12 mark. 😄
I absolutely LOVE Cheryl Miller; I have for decades, but now more than ever, thanks to this video. She is an incredible woman, and still as beautiful as she ever was talented.
My all time favorite!
Ditto That!!!!!
Thank you so much Cheryl God bless you❤.
When he asked her how much of the blame she took as the leader and her response was:
"All of it."
I couldn't help but remember this response when another celebrated figure lost in a big way:
"Check my stats."
One response showcases an understanding of what leadership is supposed to be about. The other does not.
Cheryl is only sports goat that is “adorable”. Such a sweetheart and alpha at the same time. Great personality. I’d run through a wall if she coached me. Respect the 🐐!
Cheryl Miller assisted in paving the way for any players including Angel Reese!!! Period.
great interview, she's friggin hilarious!
I needed this interview badly man. Thx🎉
TY for mentioning the 3.5 Ass/gm, Dan. I love C. Miller, but she can't brag about her assists on a 105 pt night!
the GOAT on and off the court
The greatest womens player ever
Without A Doubt!!!!! I Totally Agree!!!!!
I felt this❤
She’s wonderful! Love C. Miller ❤
Cheryl was a great player and was definitely "one of the players" making it easier for the next couple of generations. However, just a reminder, that there were many women that also made it a bit easier for Cheryl, praise should recognize all of the various levels. But indeed, Cheryl was a great player.
Cheryl Miller - 🐐 ❤
I was going to Long Beach State in the 80's and women's basketball was the big sport for the school at the time where we were usually ranked top 10. We could never make it out of the west in the tourney because Cheryl was always there. Such an awesome player.
Is this around the time Latunya Pollard or Cindy Brown went there?
@@dre716 Yeah, exactly! Then Penny Toler transferred over from SDSU. I'm not sure if all three of them played together or if Pollard graduated. I think Cindy put up something like 50 pts at UC Riverside (?) at some point in time. It looks like I might have been mistaken about not being able to get past USC in the west as it looks like the Beach was in the Final Four a couple times but, in my mind, USC and Cheryl was always the problem. lol.
Fellow CSULB alumni here. We did make it to the Elite 16, Elite 8 and twice to the final 4 (1987, 1988). There were some battles with SC in the old campus gym. We would win at home and they would win on their home court. I remember her visiting CSULB before committing to SC.
People certainly need a refresher on her greatness. She beat up her brother on the court. Her brother became a nba hall of famer. Reggie miller was humbled . He will always be known as cheryl's younger brother. Hey, not too shabby. She scored 105 in hs game
Legend of Cheryl!
The Hug at the End said it all how we feel about her🤗
If we wish to tread this path, we must acknowledge Lusia Harris, who established the benchmark for modern women's basketball!
Kids today don’t realize that USSR hate and fear, that was real, wow Cheryl Miller was just incredible what an incredible incredible hero , just incredible , she was an absolute Goddess all of those Olympic athletes were of course
I've always liked Cheryl Miller.
The GOAT FOR REAL 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
When all things considered, my GOAT. Man or woman. 😎
I was in love with her when I was young, but after seeing this even this late I’m even more in LOVE with her now.
Cheryl the Pearl 🎉
Wow… thanks so much for this very personal and informative look into the life of an icon! I can remember watching her during her college years and on the Olympic team. She will always be remembered for her athletic accomplishments and her dedication to her sport! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾😌🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Check out Pearl Moore from South Carolina. She is a Hall of Famer, scored 60 points in one game and has more points than Caitlan Clark, over 4,000 without shooting 3-pointers.
Pearl Moore doesn’t haven’t more points than Caitlin as she played division 2 and Caitlin played division 1. The record holder for the division 1 was Lynette Woodard until Caitlin broke it.
I love her
Fight On!
Poor Reggie ,Hof and still the second best baller in your family!!😢😅😊
That’s the row of the father,the just described the way life supposed to be.
Class act
I like her now, she was s great basketball player. Her parent guide them right. ❤
Hey sports fan I just want to say I am a fan of the game of basketball football for females I got to give it to Cheryl Miller. I have been a fan of hers, for years and I love her attitude I'm the one that doesn't like to lose neither. but I will give respect but it goes to bed with it and think damn we should have won that game I should have done better.
PS. Okay I had a little crush on her also.
The female Michael Jordan...❤❤❤❤❤❤...Cheryl "Dean" Miller...
Totally Got That Right!!!!!🙏
She was the best to ever do it.
I see why Reggie calls her his 🐐 basketball player
It doesn’t matter if man or woman…..good basketball is good basketball
This woman right here is the queen of women’s basketball not Clark she’s good she’s not Cheryl Miller we live in the moment
Cheryl Miller was the OG CC. She doesn't get nearly enough mention with the current players.
Funny story about the Soviet Women's team smoking cigs on the bus!
It is a nice parallel that the Men's Team had to overcome a Silver in '72, and the Women's Team also had to slay the dragon on their own journey. U-S-A!!!!
Inside The Athlete's Studio with Dan Lipton 🙂
This is what we so called womens basketball fans need to know and that is there were more players before CC that made and impact. I also think that Geno and the late great Pat Summit who kept us at least interested in women college baskeball and now Dawn Staley for paving the way for CC and others. if it was about just basketball they would already know this but this is not jsut about baskeball and it nver will be in this country. We are humans with flaws and hang up we will always have issue with certain people-groups.
