He scored pretty well in his first 2 seasons, on a per-minute basis at least, but didn't do much else.

He said he suffered from Knee injuries that's why he retired at 24.

Watched Harold Miner play. He was my buddy's favorite player at that time, just cuz he played at USC.
While Miner wasn't half bad at USC, the NBA the media hype far exceeded his game.
I remember that ad someone else mentioned.
Awesome dunker, but not much of a basketball player.

During his short prime, Miner was an average to slightly above average level NBA shooting guard by 90s perimeter player standards.
In other words, he would be a G League level shooting guard by today's standards, or among the worst shooting guards in the NBA if he actually made the pros.

Saw him play in college.
That's when all the Baby Jordan hype was out of control.

Re: How good was Harold Miner to those who watched him?
Harold Miner is a great example of why today's athletes aren't better - he was like Dwayne Wade but without the modern handle - he simply lacked today's modern handle that allows players to go wherever they want and dominate - but the athleticism was off-the-charts and that was the case with many players back then that were 6"4" to 6'10"... They were super-athletes but lacked today's handle or shooting, so no on realizes that their athleticism compares to today's players... Sean Elliot, Michael Finley, Isiah Rider, Tariq-Abdul-Wahad, and countless more - these guys would be today's studs that everyone thinks are so athletic - the 90's had them too but they lacked the handle to be stars in a game that was becoming more spaced and requiring more handle over touch/pure scoring ability that the unspaced 80's required
