Darius Miles Makes It Rain at a Strip Club with QB Dennis Dixon, Requests Oregon Fight Song
NBA February 21st. 2008, 12:58pm
Outstanding find from Hot Dog & Friends (via the Oregonian): If Oregon QB Dennis Dixon, who nearly won the Heisman Trophy before shredding his knee, has any hopes of a promising NFL career, he probably should quit hanging out at strip clubs with perennial degenerate and soon-to-be NBA flameout Darius Miles:
At one point, a dancer had so many one-dollar bills on the stage around her, she asked a bouncer for a paper sack. Miles also had someone request a song from the DJ, according to a patron. Which is how the University of Oregon fight song ended up being played while women gyrated on stage and Miles threw dollar bills, laughed, pumped his fist and slapped backs with a former Heisman Trophy candidate before disappearing into the VIP room.
Miles, the No. 3 selection in the abortion that was the 2000 draft, is a cautionary tale for all those talented freshman who are contemplating making the jump to the League. Besides displaying no abilities besides running and jumping (unless you count cussing out his coach and dropping racial slurs on him), Miles appear to have any interest in rehabbing from microfracture surgery, which he had in November of 2006. Now, his career is relegated to making it rain. The good news is that Miles hasn’t been able to infect Brandon Roy, Greg Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge with laziness and apathy.
What’s the over/under on when D-Miles is broke as a joke once his NBA career is over? Eighteen months?

thats a lot of people who passed on Michael Redd
February 21st, 2008 at 1:03 PM
God, that draft was a whose who of suck.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:04 PM
this isnt brewster’s millions…its really hard to blow THAT much skrilla.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:05 PM
I think the cautionary tale is for the team execs not to make dumb picks. If I were a freshman phenom, I’d love to get several million guaranteed on my first contract (and probably a second big one, just based on my untapped lottery potential). Going broke, now that’s a different story.

Fuck You.

That has to be the worst draft in history right?
I think I saw one legitimate good player in there, Michael Redd
February 21st, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Chris Mihm went #8!?!??!?!?!
February 21st, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Just looked at that draft board. Damn. I mean…damn. When Mark Madsen is the highlight, you know things have gone wrong.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:07 PM
For once it was a good thing McHale didn’t have a pick.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Kenyon Martin was good, now not so much.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:07 PM
i see Redd and Hedo are pretty much the only ones doing anything. Unless you count Jamal Crawford doing anything.
Khalid el amin was in that draft. wow havent heard that name since he was busted for smoking
February 21st, 2008 at 1:08 PM
@spencer– see “Sprewell, Latrell”
February 21st, 2008 at 1:08 PM
oh…chris mihm went 8 alright. i cant really remember him playing a single minute for the cavs tho.
whatever paxson brother it was who was running the cavs really did us some great shit. remember dujuan wagner? desegana diop? mihm? vitaly potopenko? gotta love the lottery.

Basketball reference has Miles as clocking over $39 million since entering/infecting the NBA. Good luck telling some college freshman that Miles didn’t make it and that the kid should stay in school.
Especially if that freshman is so obviously into his academics as I’m sure Darius Miles was.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:14 PM
El AMin has been playing in Israel since then. Tel Aviv I think. Since he is from here, there are always updates.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:14 PM
someone went a little “oolat” crazy
February 21st, 2008 at 1:15 PM
The Bulls had six picks in the top 34 and somehow whiffed on everyone of them. That has to be a new record.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:18 PM
AJ Guyton to the Bulls, forgot about that one. I think he plays in Greece now.
Sad to see Jason Collier @15 on that list. Played at IU a few years before transferring to GATech. Was playing for the Hawks when he suddenly passed away a few years ago during the season. Very Sad.
How about those Pacers picks? Just shoot me.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:18 PM
great story about Miles via the Oregonian
February 21st, 2008 at 1:20 PM
I know you’re not hatin’ on Jake Tsakalidis.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:20 PM
Lets not forget the Vanilla Gorilla Joel Przybilla. 7 years later, and he’s turned into a serviceable center.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:21 PM
@bobb – Yeah Walters and Simple Sid love them some El Amin. I still remember when he called a news conference to say he was going to the Univeristy of Minnesota when he was a sophmore. That turned out well.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:27 PM
It is pretty funny, those guys Sid and Shooter. I can’t fucking care less how some shitbag former gopher is doing overseas. Though they are making more than me. So I guess that sucks.
Round 2 had marko Jaric maybe he can’t play, but he can pull down the best tail from that group. So I guess he wins?
February 21st, 2008 at 1:29 PM
I know about nothing regarding the NBA, but damn the Bulls laid a turd at every chance possible.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:31 PM
No love for my fellow Mexican…Eduardo Najera?
February 21st, 2008 at 1:33 PM
@bobb – On the flip side, Jaric sometimes can’t properly dress himself. I’d say that makes it a push.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:33 PM
That draft board is blowing my damn mind. I cannot believe it’s been almost eight years since Stromile Swift, Chris Mihm and Mike Miller were drafted.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:36 PM
One thing I noticed is I recognize a ton of those guys, they were good in college, it just didn’t translate to the pro’s for so many of them.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:37 PM
Mike Miller, Hedo Turkoglu, Michael Redd, and, maybe, Najera are the only ones I would employ as an NBA GM.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:37 PM
lol. Holy crap that is the most non-impact first round draft in history. None of those players matter at all, and are all legitimate add-on trade fodder. Marcus Fizer at 4?!?! DeMarr Johnson!??!?! Keyon Dooling? Holy shit.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:40 PM
anyone remember D. Miles in Van Wilder?
February 21st, 2008 at 1:40 PM
no desmond mason or Q? no deshawn stevenson?
February 21st, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Good call benji. I was just thinking “what movie did I see D. Miles in.” He did do that cool hitting your fists on your forehead move that he and Q did with the Clips.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:42 PM
In all fairness to the Bulls… who the fuck were they supposed to draft?
February 21st, 2008 at 1:43 PM
D miles was in that movie about SAT’s with some girl with ample breasts
February 21st, 2008 at 1:44 PM
at least none of your teams had Dirk Nowitzki and traded him for Robert “Tractor” Trailer!!
February 21st, 2008 at 1:44 PM
Kmart had some AWESOME seasons.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:44 PM
@irishmafia: i think it was called Cheats. I checked on IMDB and he wasn’t there, but i swear i remember that too.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:49 PM
@Sean Jean…HAHA Didn’t they do that fist to forehead thing to represent putting their balls on the guys heads after a dunk? I am going to do that in my church league tonight in honor of D. Miles.
/Ashamed he just admitted he’s in a church league =**(
February 21st, 2008 at 2:14 PM
It was called “The Perfect Score” – Seniors trying to steal the SAT.
February 21st, 2008 at 2:33 PM
Who the F is Primoz Brezec Olimpija Ljubljana? I can’t believe Mateen Cleeves was a top 20 draft pick.
I might not have the best memory since I was in college and partying at Michigan State every weekend, but I swear March Madness in 2000 was pretty good (i.e. there were a lot of exciting games)… it’s crazy every good player from the tournament ended up being awful in the NBA!
February 21st, 2008 at 2:34 PM
That looks like somebody’s cat walked across the keyboard during the draft sportsgal. That can’t be a real person.
February 21st, 2008 at 2:37 PM
I just googled it, apparently the guy’s name is Primoz Brezec and he played on team Olimpija Ljubljana. My bad.
February 21st, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Yes, THE Primo Brezec, another stellar first round pick from your Indiana Pacers.
February 21st, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Anyone that ever says these guys should go to college should jump off a cliff.
Where else would Miles make 70+ million bucks???
No good college player should EVER go to college if fools like Miles and Bender etc make millions
February 21st, 2008 at 7:28 PM
this writer should know better than to use the word “patron” in the same a story about a club or bar. On first read it comes across as “patrón” …
