Dick Miller

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Dick Miller: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

A 6 ft 6 forward from Milwaukee who was named an alternate on the United States team for the 1979 Pan American Games, a year before turning professional. His NBA career lasted eight games — five for Indiana and three for the Jazz in 1980–81 — after which he played in the CBA and then in England and Spain. No trading card of him was ever printed.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe signed a 10-day contract on December 9, 1980, a second ten days later, and was waived on December 29.

Three NBA games, all for the Jazz. No trading card of any kind was ever produced, and he has since died. An index card, program or team photo would be the first known signed example.
