Andre Miller has also never missed more than two games in any season. His low was 80 games played in 02-03 with the Clippers. He continues being a solid guy you can count on every game going into the 06-07 season.

I think you can definitley pick out guys that have trouble with injuries. Like when Grant Hill played on that broken ankle in the '98 or '99 playoffs with Detroit, thus all the ankle problems with Orlando.
But to say Andre Miller is some kind of Ultimate Warrior because he doesn't miss games doesn't tell me much. I mean yeah Tinsley has injury problems and I don't want Denver to aquire him because that means Boykins would start like 40+ games until Denver re-signed Howard Eisley to run the point with Boink-Man. That would be horrific and a definite realistic outcome with Tin-Man on the roster.
But Miller is only as durable as a freak-injury will allow him to be. I mean has Marbury or Tinsley faked these injuries to stay on the bench? NO!
If Miller makes one of his drives to the hoop and comes down awkwardly and breaks a collar bone, leg, whatever then you can start a Thread titled: Miller is injury prone! He's actually just lucky not to have injured himself yet.
