Darius Miles Basketball Career

Los Angeles Clippers

Miles entered the 2000 NBA draft and was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers as the third overall pick, at the time the highest a player had been drafted directly from high school. For the next two seasons Miles, Quentin Richardson, Corey Maggette, Lamar Odom, and Elton Brand entertained fans with their exciting, high-flying style of play.

He played his first two seasons with the Clippers, earning an NBA All-Rookie Team first-team honor in 2001. In those years Miles, Richardson, and co. helped the Clippers improve their win column from 15 wins in 99-00, to 31 wins in 00-01 to finally 39 wins in 01-02.

In the 2001–02 season, the Clippers appeared to be on the verge of their first playoff appearance since 1997; however, they were only able to win 3 of the last 12 games of the season, ultimately finishing five games out of the playoffs.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Following the 2001–2002 season, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, alongside Harold Jamison, in a deal for Andre Miller and Bryant Stith where he spent a season and a half before being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jeff McInnis and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje midway through the 2003–04 season.

Portland Trail Blazers

During the 2004–05 season, Miles made headlines after a confrontation with then-coach Maurice Cheeks in which Miles reportedly insulted Cheeks with racial slurs and remarked he “did not care if the team were to lose the next 20 games” since Cheeks was “going to be fired anyway”.

According to ESPN’s Chad Ford and other accounts, after Cheeks asked Miles to leave, Miles’ response was “Make me.” When Cheeks left the room to see Blazers’ general manager John Nash, Miles ran behind him shouting, “That’s right, run to your daddy.” On April 19, 2005, he scored a career-high 47 points in a loss against the Denver Nuggets, which equaled the eighth-highest single-game output in franchise history.

Late in the 2005–2006 season, Miles severely injured his right knee. Five days later, on April 15, 2006, he played in his 40th and last game of the season. He missed the entire 2006–07 and 2007–08 NBA seasons due to microfracture surgery to repair his injury.

In an effort to shed Miles’s $18 million contracts, the Portland Trail Blazers petitioned the NBA and the NBA Players Association in March 2008 to provide an independent doctor to decide whether Miles could play again.

The examination determined that Miles’ knee injury was severe enough to be career-ending, prompting the Blazers to request waivers for his release on April 14, 2008.

However, Miles had the option to sign on with another team if offered a contract, potentially reverting the $18 million savings the Blazers hoped to gain if Miles played in 10 games in 2008.

Complicating matters was a 10-game suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy levied by the NBA, which Miles was required to serve before he could play for any NBA team.

Boston Celtics

On August 22, 2008, the Celtics signed Miles to a non-guaranteed contract offering him a chance to earn a roster spot at training camp. Though he worked out twice with the team and was impressed with his health and attitude, he was waived on October 20, before the regular season started.

Memphis Grizzlies

On December 13, 2008, Miles signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. On January 4, 2009, after sitting out his ten-game suspension, Miles made his season debut with the team, playing the last 1:46 in a 102–82 win against the Dallas Mavericks.

On January 7, after collecting only 2 rebounds and 2 blocks in 9 minutes over two games, Miles was waived. On January 9, following a controversy over his re-signing, the Grizzlies signed Miles to a 10-day contract.

In the next game, against the Cavaliers on January 14, Miles played 14 minutes and exhibited some of the quickness and leaping ability he once possessed.

He recorded 13 points on 4 of 6 shooting and making 5 of 7 free throws in a 102–87 loss. On January 30, 2009, the Grizzlies signed Miles for the rest of the 2008–09 season.

On July 9, 2009, the Grizzlies renounced their rights on Miles in order to save cap room.

Darius Miles Acting Career

Apart from sports, Miles has also ventured into film, where he had a role in the 2004 teen comedy-heist film, The Perfect Score, as a high school basketball star who needs to achieve a qualifying SAT score to attend St. John’s University, closely paralleling his real-life situation coming out of high school.

He also appeared in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002), along with then-Clipper teammates Michael Olowokandi and Quentin Richardson. He also appeared in a documentary titled The Youngest Guns (2004), which detailed Miles’ and Richardson’s first few years in the NBA.
