Sunday was not only tough for Archie Miller based on the result on the court, but also as the world received the unexpected and extremely earth shattering news about Kobe Bryant’s death after getting involved in a helicopter accident that also took the lives of eight others, including Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna.
Hearing of the news just 30 seconds before going in for his postgame press conference, Miller was shaken and at a loss for words when addressing the media.
Miller was born in Beaver Falls, PA just a few hours away from Ardmore where Bryant spent his early years.
