Master P’s son has been chasing the NBA since he was three years old. A torn labrum almost ended it before it started.
Who Is Hercy Miller?
Hercy Miller is a 24-year-old point guard from Calabasas, California, and one of the cast members of Netflix’s “Calabasas Confidential.” He is the son of hip-hop mogul Master P — founder of No Limit Records and president of basketball operations at the University of New Orleans — and his ex-wife Sonya Miller. His older brother is rapper and actor Romeo Miller.
On the show, Hercy is back in Calabasas for the summer while waiting on a decision that will determine the next chapter of his career. He tells the cameras he has wanted to play in the NBA since he was three years old. He is not someone who had it handed to him, he says. His father raised him to understand that if you don’t work, you don’t eat.
What the show captures is a young man suspended between grinding and waiting — and trying, with mixed results, to stay focused while Calabasas does what Calabasas does.
Hercy Miller’s High School Career
Despite growing up in Calabasas, Hercy attended Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he built a serious basketball reputation. During his senior year, he led his team to a 20-1 record and their fourth consecutive Class 3A Minnesota State Championship, scoring a game-high 24 points in the championship game. He arrived at college with genuine credentials and real expectations.
The Injury That Changed Everything
Hercy began his college career at Tennessee State, where he played just six games as a freshman before suffering a season-ending hip injury. He tells the cameras on “Calabasas Confidential” exactly what it cost him: “I tore my labrum in my hip, and I couldn’t play. But I know what I can be. I know I can be a pro. I know I can really take over with this. It’s just like — I just need to be able to really show the NBA what I can do.”
The injury didn’t end his career, but it derailed the timeline in a way that a college basketball player cannot easily absorb. Lost time at that level is genuinely difficult to recover from, and the question of whether the NCAA would restore his eligibility year hung over everything that followed.
The College Journey
After Tennessee State, Hercy transferred to the University of Louisville, where he walked on and appeared in 27 games during the 2022-23 season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. The hip remained a problem. In February 2024, Louisville announced he would miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season to undergo a procedure on his hip — a lingering issue that had been following him since that first freshman injury.
He entered the transfer portal after that season and signed with Southern Utah, where the 2024-25 season finally gave him something to work with. He appeared in 26 games with seven starts, recording a career-high 18 points in a win against Florida International in November 2024, and a personal best nine rebounds against California Baptist in January 2025.
Hercy Miller at the University of New Orleans
By 2026, Hercy transferred to the University of New Orleans — his father’s program, where Master P serves as president of basketball operations — for his fifth year of college basketball. He is currently draft eligible for the 2026 NBA Draft, listed as a guard for the New Orleans Privateers.
The dynamic between father and son is one of the most layered threads on “Calabasas Confidential.” Master P tells him on the show that the NBA is like hitting the lottery — ten million players chasing four hundred spots. He tells him a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. He tells him to stop spending so much time around girls. Hercy says yes sir. The love between them is obvious. So is the weight.
Beyond Basketball
Hercy has also built a clothing brand called Fearless Dreamer, focused on hoodies, T-shirts, and streetwear, which he has actively promoted across the country as a way to connect with young audiences who relate to his journey. He has secured brand partnerships with companies including Staple Pigeon, Post Game, and Hollister.
It is the kind of parallel path that makes sense for someone who grew up watching his father build an empire — someone who knows that basketball is the dream, but that the dream has to be backed by something.
What Hercy Miller Brings to ‘Calabasas Confidential’
Hercy is the show’s clearest portrait of what it costs to want something real in a place built for performance. He is not in Calabasas for the summer to party. He is there waiting — on the NCAA, on the draft, on a hip that has now derailed him twice — and trying not to lose himself in the process. Whether he succeeds at that is one of the season’s quieter questions, running underneath all the louder drama.
The NBA dream is still alive. The clock on it, however, is not getting any slower.
