His mother, Cynthia, worked for 42 years as a hospital receptionist. She wanted to retire by sending Miles off to play basketball in the draft. However, Miles decided to stay in Michigan despite his desire to play for NBA.
Cynthia mentions in an interview that she got him into basketball so that he wouldn’t get in with the wrong crowd. She realized he was hanging around the wrong crowd with people who weren’t serious about school or their future. So, she took a step and got him into basketball.
