Dude…did the drunk college kids really hurt your feelings? I’ll note that TJD and X also tweeted messages of support.🙄
This is the polar opposite of mental toughness. Hope they have the strength to take the court against Illinois this weekend.

I am cringing at the cringeWhy did that offend anyone?? Me = confused
I wouldn't say offensive... how about unnecessary?Why did that offend anyone?? Me = confused
Nah, I think he embarrassed them.I wouldn't say offensive... how about unnecessary?
And I am one who defends Miller and overall think he's been a good addition. He's just letting the NW fans know they got to him.
Are you Stuart's son?He’s hurting. That’s understandable. The Northwestern student section was mean to him. He’s a sensitive man. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Don’t forget he’s many miles away from his family. That probably weighs on him as well. He’s probably used to more intimate family support.
I’m not offended, I’m just disturbed by the fragile psyches on display here. Both by MK’s initial tweet and TJD and X with their “I love you man” attaboys. We need tough sons of bitches out there not a group of guys who sound like they’re auditioning for a bad SNL Stuart Smalley skit.Why did that offend anyone?? Me = confused
Some young men have difficulty adjusting to life without their maternal confidante. I can imagine after this week’s vulgar, over-the-top treatment by Northwestern, Miller needed some strong maternal reassurance.I’m not offended, I’m just disturbed by the fragile psyches on display here.

Ehhh, I'm with Gator on this one. Consider the source. And, by posting an acknowledgement that this bothered him, you think that will lessen the likelihood it happens again? Can't let others determine your mindset and recognize fan is short for fanatic. I'd rather see him work to shut them up, and I thought he stayed in the game defensively, but makes me think this played a part in his going what, 1-6?For those “tough guys” out there, words do hurt. People do have feelings. Northwestern students went too far; they are not alone - Duke fans seemed to have invented this type of behavior and were made media darlings for it. Maybe it’s a time to self reflect instead of pretend it’s some sort of weakness on behalf of a player who was targeted repeatedly by his former classmates in an unnecessary vulgar fashion. How about screaming support for your team instead of the producing sheets of paper to use as harassment material?
Reassurance from teammates would be expected. In a similar situation I think I'd say "Hey Miller, don't let this crap from those assholes get to you, OK? Let's shut them up...!" It's fine to go to teammates, but not going public, imo.Just because it wasn’t as publized back in the day, how do you know mean joe green didn’t put his arm around a teammate or two who made a crucial error in the game and got depressed from the hate mail they got? What about the Cincinnati guy who shoved MaHomes out of bounds and gave the chiefs a 15 td penalty that allowed them to kick the winning fg? He was crying for gods sake. We just hear more about it today because of social media and these kids post it instead of going to teammates or coaches
are you talking to me or Miller?Consider lightening up. It’s a ball game.
I just want guys that are built for when that shit happens. Those are my favorite players. The ones that bang big threes and then yell I cant hear you bitches at the crowd. GIVE ME THE KILLERS!!! Ron Harpers little brother would be a great one to get. His older bro, cant say I hate him. The big nuts after the big shot? Tip of the cap from me.are you talking to me or Miller?
Correct, it's a ballgame. Opposing fans are going to say shit.
Are you for real or is this some kind of second-level trolling?Some young men have difficulty adjusting to life without their maternal confidante. I can imagine after this week’s vulgar, over-the-top treatment by Northwestern, Miller needed some strong maternal reassurance.

Certain Dukies aren’t chanting f bombs. They are clever and well researched but not profane. That’s for the crass kids that can’t be bothered to be more creative.For those “tough guys” out there, words do hurt. People do have feelings.

Not even trying to be a tough guy. We have a culture problem on this team. Ignore it if you want.Grow up keyboard tough guy
Yep. I've been to Cameron several times and have often laughed, but never thought anything was out of line. Don't doubt that it's happened, but as organized as they are, I'd guess nowadays an idea that crossed the line would probably be nixed by others.Certain Dukies aren’t chanting f bombs.

Our just buck up and play. Mental toughness is key to being an athlete.For those “tough guys” out there, words do hurt. People do have feelings.

Oh yeah! Great message. Love trumps hate, yadda, yadda, yadda. They’ve clearly rallied around that today. Guess I didn’t know WTF I was talking about…I am fine with the tweet and Love > Hate is a good message. I find this threat about it 100X more cringe worthy than his tweet.
Agreed. Glad you turned it around! Well done.Oh yeah! Great message. Love trumps hate, yadda, yadda, yadda. They’ve clearly rallied around that today. Guess I didn’t know WTF I was talking about…
Kopp should talk to Reggie Miller on how to silence the crowd.Ehhh, I'm with Gator on this one. Consider the source. And, by posting an acknowledgement that this bothered him, you think that will lessen the likelihood it happens again? Can't let others determine your mindset and recognize fan is short for fanatic.

Made big shots and came up with a great defensive play down the stretch. He deserves praise for that, no question.Well at least he showed up against Illini.
From what I recall 'twas ever thus.Guess I didn’t know WTF I was talking about…
Has anyone here ever been to an IU basketball game in Assembly? Our student chant F bombs at every game I've been to.......every game.Certain Dukies aren’t chanting f bombs. They are clever and well researched but not profane. That’s for the crass kids that can’t be bothered to be more creative.
I agree with you. But if you are 15 it might be hard to figure out.The social media generations have somehow allowed public opinions of themselves be more valuable than their personal opinion of themselves. It’s crazy that kids are committing suicide over social media posts, or college players have to take a leave of absence because the social media is too much for them to handle. Geez, turn the phone off and go play basketball.
Appropriate response.Cringeworthy, perhaps, was too harsh, I think.
Miller was 3/3 from 3 at one point in the Ill. game, at a time when points seemed hard to come by.
FWIW, there was this apology
‘Allowed public opinions of themselves be more valuable than their personal opinion of themselves’. Spot on my friend, friggin spot onThe social media generations have somehow allowed public opinions of themselves be more valuable than their personal opinion of themselves.

So how did you deal with social media when you played at the major D1 level?I’m not offended, I’m just disturbed by the fragile psyches on display here.

I don’t get why that would be a problem for anyone. Doesn’t seem cringe to me.
