What Cheryl said is so powerful. No shoes to fill. Be you.
The GOAT and PRODIGY. If you didn’t see Cheryl play you missed something special, she was ahead of her time.
she was way better
We ain’t that old fam
@@yeaight8439 Well then like I said, you missed it. There is a documentary called “Women of Troy” if you care to know.
Looking like the predator and the prey
@@einsof88 How you figure? Cheryl Miller won back to back NCAA championships at USC. She is one of Juju’s biggest fans and mentors. And encase you didn’t know Cheryl is Reggie Millers older sister.
I love how she said it’s their time and they not us and we not them and left it at that! Instead of tearing them down with back handed compliments
Oh you liked that she stated the obvious small 🧠
Facts
NBA oldheads need to learn to say that
EXACTLY!! Cheryl is a REAL ONE!! I love her!!❤❤❤
@@next4506the old heads do say that, but you better listen to their wisdom or you’ll regret it
These two together making me teary eyed. Thank y’all for bringing Auntie Cheryl outside!
That’s Real Talk!! Gave me chills bro!! I love seeing young people in general enamored or just soaking in all that wisdom from their elder!! We need more of this!!
Me 2. My allergies are flaring up. Lol
Me too😢😢🤟🏿✊🏿👌🏿🫵🏿🦍💩
Agreed! The sitdown was so dope!
Cheryl is your aunt?
Cheryl Miller was so damn good that one of the most prolific NBA 3-point shooters is affectionately known as Cheryl's little brother.
And this my friends is what an OG is supposed to be.
Instead of hating on future generations, the NBA old heads could take notes.
Facts.. I think the NBA players hard on them on camera but drop knowledge over the phone.. a lot of them mention it in the podcast.. example PG and Brandon Miller.
@@na_knah. The recently retired still young players.
Nobody hates on the future generations more than the current generation. The entire culture is built on tearing down.
Aside from Barkley, whose takes and criticisms are often spot on correct.
Even Lebron and Draymond hate on the younger upcoming guys more than Barkley, and Shaq hates on all big men who don’t play like he does… except Bol Bol who he glazes relentlessly.
The older generations have always given back to the game, have always paid homage to the history and gave the younger generation the insights and the insider knowledge to expound upon that.
I really need younger generations to get out of their feelings and pay attention to who really “hates”who really tears down.
Kendrick Perkins,
JJ Reddick
or any of these media talking heads aren’t OG’s.
The TNT crew is different, they are paid analysts and are in that spot to offer critical analysis. They aren’t in mentor roles.
Far different from a retired OG who still gives his time and input to help younger players.
The NBA for decades had programs and mentors for young players, that went away when player empowerment was ushered in, new CBA, the old guard was out, as was many of the OG’s who were in place to assist younger players.
Pay close attention to who’s hating. It ain’t the OG’s nah. It’s many of the recently retired.
In their defense, most of them criticize the game itself. (Rule changes) and the effort of the players on defense, and how the competitive nature of the game is gone.
Also it’s the younger generation that started the narratives about the past generations, they weren’t prepared for the backlash.
It is a softer league, society is softer and more sensitive….
participation trophy era, the if it ain’t glazing it’s hate generation ~ political correct, and respectability politics.
Super sensitive generation..
the generation where the bare minimum deserves recognition.
Nobody is hating.
Life is unfair, and not everyone is going to like you.
Cope .
@@na_k So could some of the other WNBA oldheads too.
A legend + a future legend in the making
This was such a beautiful and raw interview. So much mutual respect between the two.
Juju Watkins is like MJ and Kobe DNA Combined. She is a complete two-way player. I can't believe I didn't know about her until she went to USC. Paige Bueckers is like Magic Johnson and Lebron DNA. Caitlin Clark is the female Steph Curry. What a bright future in Women's Basketball!
Great analogy!! We're witnessing a historic time in women's basketball 🏀
The genes in the Miller family are crazy. Reggie was once known as Cheryl's little brother, and he's now a top 75 NBA player.
I got really emotional watching this CHERYL MILLER is a Living ICON
Javale McGhee's mom was Cheryl's USC teammate and LSU's coach was Cheryl's USA teammate.
LSU coach played at Louisiana Tech in college
@@ogarchielee9880 yes you are correct
@@ogarchielee9880dumb question but what is the difference between Louisiana tech and lsu? What happened to Louisiana tech? They haven’t won a national championship since the 80s.
Ju Ju need NOT to try and live up to NOBODY'S expectation but her OWN. In Cheryl Miller , Ju Ju. has the BEST teacher/ mentor in the women's game today.❤
Growing up I was obsessed with Cheryl Miller, watching her play not missing a game! Paula and Pam it was amazing!
I did the same thing. I mean like every game. That team and story was an inspiration for sure.
Being a scorer and being a winner are two different things….Cheryl was both….thats why she’s the 🐐👈🏾💪🏾
Juju has the potential to be both. Cheryl played alongside significantly better teammates than Juju.
Absolutely, that’s why she said she’ll regret not getting that chip if she doesn’t. She said there’s no comparisons, to be herself, but came back later and said that, so.
@@joshuaarawole8589great players make players around them better. And good players love to play with great players, meaning recruiting should be even easier now for USC.
Don't forget a mean Defender. She can defend anyone on the court and not afraid to do so.
"The foreign SC" 😂 Awesome interview! I love their relationship 🥺
THAT WAS FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This made me smile the whole time watching it.
Me too, they are so similar in personality and game!
JuW.. seem humble, I respect that..
She is such a gentle soul
Tears😢! This like Mike and Kobe sitting and talking. Ahhhh my JuJu!
Cheryl Miller was 🔥 and I wanna thank her for giving JuJu that advice.. it's very important to find that JuJu time . Find a couple hours for yourself, it's 168 hours in a week, 2-5 hours to yourself to check on direction discipline and determination.. oh and take nothing for granted.. and never underestimate no opponents..good luck
Miller will always be the goat!!!!!
@@marcdaddy33 new head.
@@marcdaddy33 Back to Back. Think about that for a second
Catlin Clark ain't even won one yet. 😂
@@marcdaddy33u say that as if you're gonna stay young forever u better hope u live to be the "Old head" u think is an insult.
Don’t forget Robin Roberts she is a legend in her own rights. Cheryl is definitely one though.
This is PURE JOY 🏆
Beautiful uplift from the GOAT
Oh please where was she with Caitlin Clark was a freshman blowing up numbers as soon as this personal color comes along she's on the bandwagon Reverse Racism this is the cat calling the kettle black she made it to the big house has she been doing if she going to work back in the fields again and this is a personal color saying it wow she got her hood on
JuJu has game!!!!!!!
i cant stop hearing reggie miller voice lol
I thought the same thing! lol...how they speak is similar too. Both are very introspective people and I think very thoughtful and intelligent.
Reggie got it from her everything his game his personality all of it lol
Find that quiet place. That was the best part of this conversation
Yes Yes ❤❤❤
This was a great conversation, Cheryl is such a legend, and Juju is a really good prospect.
This was a wonderful experience to see a Legend of Basketball like Cheryl Miller who I think is the greatest Women's player of all time and if not is on a very very short list offer truly heartfelt praise and wisdom to the next Legend of Women's Basketball JuJu Watkins and you can tell how much respect they both have for each other and you could see how Cheryl was there to offer real support and make it clear this JuJu's time but also to make sure she enjoys the experience that College can bring but to stay on the goal of Winning a National Championship before she leaves USC.Pure Class by both Women Fight On!!
No u said it right she is the greatest woman baller of all-time.
@@kirkdogg007Did she come out of high school and win a NCAA championship in her first year? And win Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Then do it 3 straight more years. Breanna Stewart did. GTFOH.
This is beautiful and uplifting.
Best interview I've seen thus far! You can see the love and respect is Authentic between the both of them, and they are so similar both in their game, their drive, and their humility!
The OG with the Young 1 🏀🏀
I was born in 1984, so unfortunately I was unable to witness her greatness “real time.” But, from hearing stories from others, including her hall of famer brother Reggie, there is no doubt that Cheryl was among the greats, if not the greatest.
Juju is so humble ... great village around this young woman .. can't wait to take my girls to see her live
I love this sit down interview with JuJu and Cheryl. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
This is special.
I love how she said it was the young players time they not us and we not them ! I wish other Legends would keep it at just that … instead of tearing them down with backhanded compliments
Cheryl the goat!!
CHERYL WE NEED YOUR PODCAST!!! WE NEED A ACTUAL BREAKDOWN ON THAT 105 PT GAME!!!!
Cheryl gave so much love and game back
Crazy how much Reggie sounds like Cheryl 🤣
This was great. I love the way JuJu listened and appreciated the words of advice and support from the Cheryl Miller.
Love this conversation!
Juju for real. You see her hair tie up. Love her. She understands whats ahead of her.
What does her hair tied up have to do with her being real? Those who wear their hair down aren’t. Quit being slick and say what dafuc you mean and quit dancing on the street and skipping around the corner
Love to see Cheryl and all the legends who played and accomplished so much between the lines. Still take the time to do interviews. Great seeing juju on side of miller. All I can say is good luck in the tournament bc this freshman class is deep. Great time to be a fan of women’s basketball
It’s crazy I’m more excited to watch the women’s tournament over the Boys 😂🔥🔥
So am I. The women's game has bigger stars on the court and coaching, and has been a better quality of play for several years now.
Cheryl miller had 105 points in high school let that sink in
Legacy legacy legacy
Love this interview ❤ Shout out to Cheryl 🎉 Definitely a legend in the game. I like how she passed wisdom to JuJu 💯
2 GOATS 🐐🔥🙏
2 GOATS frl. Cheryl gives the BEST advice because she’s been there done that. You always gotta take an advice from the GOAT. Juju, definitely future legend in the making. She’s already big but she’s gonna go bigger in the future. Just watch.❤
These two are a true class act Salute
This woman Ju Ju is the most fluid female basketball player I ever seen outside of Maya Moore. Has a legit chance to be the goat.
This was dope to see!
This was a beautiful piece!!! Thank you to all!
Cheryl is a huge part of an L.A. basketball 🏀 era when the city WAS a sports destination. It was the best time ever for the Olympic Games to be held there. Awesome job. Sage big sister advice. If you see this, Juju, DON'T TRANSFER. GRADUATE. ! 🎓
No matter how old it is, the film doesn't lie. And for those of us who saw Sheryl Miller Play?
She Was the best female basketball player of them all
Great Freshman a walking bucket I also love that Freshman Point Guard at Notre Dame she is special.
Wow. I cant believe Cheryl is 60 already. Time flies. She was not only a great player, she was a class A personality.
This was very heartwarming!! Cheryl is a legend and Juju is a up and coming young good player. The way Cheryl gave Juju advice as a human being not just basketball. You can tell Juju respects Cheryl and listened very closey on the advice she told her. Salute 🫡 and respect to Cheryl Miller and Juju Watkins!!
This was a great watch.
This was excellent. The changing of the guard. Such deep admiration and mutual respect flows both ways here. Cheryl Miller and JuJu chop it up with such ease❤️🏀. This is the intergenerational engagement I love to see and we need to see more of it! What a time for WBB!!
I say this all the time but Cheryl Miller could have a career in comedy right now 💀 Love this interview 💕
This was awesome
This interview was so needed and trust me Juju is something special and Trust me Cheryl was a monster when she played..
