There are some great stories about Oliver Miller. He wasn't the fittest guy, but losing him at this age is sad.

Dude, he died from cancer, nothing to do with fitness.

RIP. I remember watching some games as a kid with him playing. Big man stood out but didn't disappoint at all. 54 is young, but 30 year olds these days are droppin too

Your fitness - what you eat and how much, especially if it leads to obesity, can lead to some cancers.

Being overweight or obese increases the risk of 13 different types of cancer. In fact, overweight and obesity are the biggest cause of cancer after smoking.

He was the highest IQ player on that team. Too bad he wasn't in better shape because his knowledge of the game was elite.

He was the first guy I ever saw inbound the ball off someone's back to give himself an open layup.

RIP to Oliver

Its human nature to find out how or why someone passed away don't take it so personally. We're on a gossip sports forum after all. He's not wrong Oliver always had weight issues. It's common knowledge that obesity increases risks of disease heart or cancer. Lets not sugarcoat anything here.

Loved the Big O. He would have been great in the modern era.
