1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back to All the Smoke. Day two. We got 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: a straight to the league guy today played sixteen years. 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Second act is interesting. I definitely want to hear about this. 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: Retired in twenty twenty two. Now I was a writer 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: and a photographer for the NBA. Welcome to the show. 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: C J. Miles. Talk to us about your transition from 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: the league to actually writing for the league and photographing 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: for the league. That's an interesting route that I haven't heard. 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't heard another player kind of 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: take that route. Yeah. 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: Man, it just came from first of all, love of 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: the game, right, like wanting to figure out new ways 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: to stay involved with it, staying relationship with it, doing AAU, 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: doing all these different things, right. And then I was 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: already in the photography before I retired. Okay, I was 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: carrying my camera around plenty. I just obviously want shoot 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 2: bsketball because I'm stooping. And then I just was able 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: to transition all that into it writing the same thing. 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: I was already doing music, doing poetry, doing all that stuff. 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: So like I just turned everything into a lens on 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: the game and then just trying to give out different perspectives. 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: Journalists and NBA players kind of have a complicated history. 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: Obviously it's changed a little bit with more former guys 24 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: jumping into the media. How do you observe and watch 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: as a former player who's now not necessarily on the 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: other side, but just in the journalistic lens now. 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 2: You know, a lot of journalism now has got a 28 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: lot of heavy bias in it, right Like, it's never 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: just about the game, it's about this conversation they bring 30 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: in to dress around the game, right like the relationship 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: they got with a player they don't like or having 32 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: liked not just is nasty and exactly right now. So 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: like I think with our lens's former players, without that bias, 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: attacking the game gives us a different outlook, right like, 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: because I know and I have no problem speaking the 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: truth about it. Like somebody's stink right now. They stink, 37 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: right like, I ain't trying to dress it up. I 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: like his game, but he's stinkd right now. 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: But I also think to your point, because you've done it, 40 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: you know how to critique without disrespecting. And I think 41 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: that for the kind of the line, there's no line 42 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: in the stand no more. It's it's attacking them for 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: not playing well or something they did instead of critiquing 44 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: the performance. 45 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they have to attack because if there's ever 46 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: a chance that we get to sit down, the conversation 47 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: won't last long because they don't watch the game or 48 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: know the game enough to be able to break it 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: down in a way, to say it that way. I 50 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: got Scott Report still burned in my head. I know 51 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: where he was supposed to be at. I'm aheaded. That's 52 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: what photography is so easy for me because I know 53 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: where people supposed to be at. I'm ahead of to 54 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: play a lot of times because I'm like, he's supposed 55 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: to already be there, right, I can't turn that off. 56 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: So I think all of that insight is what really helps. 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Uh huh. I know eton Thomas is in a similar space. 58 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 1: I think with the Atlantic is that who he's with 59 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: are the Guardian or something like that, something along those lines. 60 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: Do you feel I know I do. Do you feel 61 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: like more players should jump into that journalistic space? 62 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 2: I think so because as we both know, like basketball 63 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: in English, right, and that's the weaponized part of it, 64 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: Like they take the game with all the replays is 65 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: all that this the hindsight, and then they form it 66 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: into this language that a lot that players always can 67 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: articulate it, or like you watch Winby after the last game, 68 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: it's like I don't like they asking them questions Like 69 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, like because we speak differently. 70 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: We speak with our actions. That's what the athletes do 71 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: in the arena. 72 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: So when the game end and you ask me these questions, 73 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: like I just talked for three hours and you want 74 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: me to put it in your language so you can understand, 75 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: but you would never understand it completely. I need time, 76 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: and that's what I try to do. I try to 77 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: be that bridge. 78 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, photography is something you can run with and 79 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: enjoy for a long time. What is the goal with 80 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: the with the journalism stuff you're doing right now? Is 81 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: there a go forward or just you really enjoyed and 82 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: it's something you're doing for now. 83 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: I mean it's both. I really enjoy it. Like I'm 84 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: working on putting together like coffee table books, photo books 85 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: of it right, like of the seasons and then of 86 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: the cities I'm in because of that, right and being 87 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: able to mix those cultures, being able to showcase how 88 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: the teams affect cities and how people love them teams 89 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: and what they do, and then also our upbringing in 90 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: those cities and how we get to these points. Like, 91 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: I think our stories need to be told in the 92 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: different not that they've been told badly, but in a 93 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: different light and with more insight, with more things to 94 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: look for that you might not think be thinking about 95 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: it because you're in it, but because I already did it, 96 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: I'm looking at it different, Like I know what I missed, 97 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: I know what I didn't highlight. I know the days 98 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: I didn't take this ship like the way I should 99 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: have took it, And I want to be able to 100 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 2: one give that back to players and two show them 101 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: how important that is. 102 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, definitely keep us posted with that. When you 103 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: start on that journey of making these books and go 104 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: back and share it, what help you promote that.

It's dangerous for the game. 309 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: Like I understand all this, Like it's not fast, yeah, 310 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: and it's how stuff go right, Like a wall break 311 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 2: over and everybody run through it. 312 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: It flood and then you got to regulate it. Right. 313 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: But like at the same time, like you're messing with 314 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: the future of the game too, because you got these 315 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: kids and these players coming up. They's discouraging. They got 316 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: these different routes, they' gonna get lost in the shuffle, 317 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: and it's keeping a bean, like we're not drafting none 318 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 2: of them, you know what I'm saying. 319 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: Respectfully, after twenty you're not going to get drafted to 320 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: the league.

Yeah, because you used to go to 324 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: college as an eighteen seventeen or eighteenyear olds to develop 325 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: for a couple of years or two or some guys 326 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: that could jump straight to the pros, but most likely 327 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: not you will go to develop, and now you're going 328 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: to develop against motherfuckers with mortgages and child support payment. 329 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: Mark can't even get in. That's what I'm about to say. 330 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: Get in two years that at a D one that 331 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: would have made me a pro. It's gone because I'm 332 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: in a shuffle. No disrespect to no Jukos and all 333 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 2: the different things, but like I get lost in that 334 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: and I don't get the right things I need right 335 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: and now we're looking for. 336 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: Players right like, and now we're complaining about this that 337 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: and you did we did it, and that's in comparison 338 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: to what though it's it. 339 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: Fucks the pipeline up, but it definitely double we gotta 340 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: be it.

It's just the things that 850 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 4: we should be able to do that you can't do. 851 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 4: There should be ten points of us getting down there 852 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 4: and being able to lob this ball to you and 853 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 4: you just catching the dunky. Yeah, that would change the 854 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 4: flow of the game completely if we knew we could 855 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 4: do that. Or you get somebody back under the rim 856 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 4: and you show us some numbers and we can't throw 857 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 4: it to you.
