CJ Miles spent 17 years in the NBA and has stayed around the game in a completely different role. It's hard to put CJ in a box. He writes, he takes photos, and most importantly, he tells stories. Matt and Stak got up with CJ to talk about this new chapter of his life, what it was like being one of the last players to jump straight from high school to the league, and the stories that come with 17 years of NBA experience. We touched on everything from the Utah Jazz to Larry Bird personally recruiting him to the Pacers, to the ongoing debate about which state produces the best basketball players: California or Texas. This one is filled with stories, laughs, and real game on how to transition from being a pro in one world and build something in another.
