In an exclusive clip shared with PEOPLE, Druski and Miller can be seen meeting courtside, where they enthusiastically announce their collaboration for the season. The playful dynamic between the comedian and the basketball icon is immediately evident, as the two share photographs and light-hearted banter.
Druski, now 31, joked about their height difference during the clip, saying, “He’s a little bit taller than me, but that’s okay. I’m not trippin’.” The humorous exchange highlights the camaraderie they share as they prepare to merge the worlds of music and sports.
Reggie Miller, who gained fame as a player for the Indiana Pacers, expressed his excitement about the crossover concept. “What I like about *The Voice* and basketball, we’re gonna merge the two together,” he declared, clearly eager to contribute his own flair to the competition. He also took a moment to ask Druski how he planned to utilise his voice amidst the singing.
Druski, who has long harboured ambitions of becoming a sports broadcaster, responded with enthusiasm. “That’s the thing, I always wanted to be a sports broadcaster, so I’m pulling out my analyst voice.” To this, Miller quipped with light-heartedness, encouraging Druski to hone his skills further.
The playful banter continued, with Miller mentioning he’d teach Druski some essential basketball techniques after his performance during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game raised some eyebrows. Druski, ever eager to learn, replied, “We’re gonna hit the court now,” hinting at future antics likely to unfold during their partnership.
As the preview clip continues, Miller expresses his anticipation for the upcoming competition, sharing that if he were a coach, he would be quite wary of Kelly Clarkson’s formidable presence on the show. Druski chimed in with a comedic twist, admitting, “I’m not a coach, and I’m scared of Kelly.”
The atmosphere surrounding *The Voice* is charged with competition, which Miller succinctly articulated: “Competition is competition. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the basketball court or if it’s on the Voice stage. It’s going to happen.” Druski added a humorous note, joking about hitting the ATM to make some bets, showing he is fully embracing the competitive spirit.
In February, Druski was seen enjoying a karaoke night alongside *The Voice* coaches Kelly Clarkson and John Legend at Baby Grand in New York City, further indicating his eagerness to engage with the show’s culture and participants. The ongoing season of *The Voice* also features Adam Levine in the coaching lineup, making it a must-watch for fans.
*The Voice* airs every Monday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with viewers eagerly looking forward to how Druski and Reggie Miller will enhance the experience of the competition. Their unexpected pairing promises to add excitement to an already vibrant format, blending the enthusiasm of sports with the artistry of music.
