Kiyomi McMiller, a freshman at Rutgers University, has been making waves in the basketball world with her impressive skills on the court. People are even comparing her to the legendary player Allen Iverson, also known as "The Answer". In 2023, McMiller made history by becoming the first high school player to sign an NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deal with Jordan Brand. This deal was inked during her senior year at HS Life Center Academy in New Jersey.
Since then, she has been dazzling spectators with her incredible ball-handling abilities. During a game against Wagner College on Sunday, December 15, McMiller pulled off a move that had people talking. It was a behind-the-back dribble that reminded many of Iverson's signature move. The move was so impressive that it caught the attention of ESPN's Nick DePaula, who shared a video of Iverson demonstrating a similar move in a 1998 Reebok commercial.
McMiller's skills have not gone unnoticed, as she was recently selected as the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday, December 16. She has been a key player for Rutgers, helping the team win two games against Fairleigh Dickinson University and Wagner. In these two games, she averaged 27 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.5 steals. She also recorded back-to-back double-doubles with 30 points and 11 rebounds against FDU and 24 points and 10 rebounds against Wagner. This season, she has already achieved three double-doubles.
With an average of 20 points per game, McMiller currently ranks third in the Big Ten and top 25 nationally. She has also recorded 38 assists so far this season. These impressive stats make her a standout player on a team with a losing record of 2-8.
Next up for McMiller and the Rutgers basketball team is a game against Columbia University on December 21. The game, known as the Holiday Hoops game, is sure to be an exciting one with McMiller's skills on display. As she continues to make a name for herself in the basketball world, we can't wait to see what else she has in store.
