We showed you Mike Miller getting dunked on by Kawhi Leonard, so it's only fair that we also highlight one of his big plays from Game 6.
With the Miami Heat trailing by 7 in the 4th quarter, Miller lost his Nike Ambassador V PE sneaker while battling for a rebound on a Tiago Splitter layup. Realizing he didn't have time to put the shoe back on, Mike it back on offense and tossed it toward the Heat bench. In one motion, Mike cut through the lane, spotted up for three and caught absolutely nothing but net off a LeBron James pass. Must be the socks.
Is this a good look for Nike? They'll likely never get pub for the Ambassador on this level again, but Mike showed us that he didn't need the shoe to make the play! Jokes aside, it was just one of several memorable moments of an overall incredible game. It's even been immortalized on a brand new adidas t-shirt.
Watch Mike's shoeless three-pointer in the video above and check out some photos from Game 6 below.
