They’re also not supposed to breakdance, but that’s exactly what Miles did to start a team meeting during preseason camp in August. When he walked in, the players were listening to the Soulja Boy song “Pretty Boy Swag,” and instead of telling them to turn it off, he asked them to keep the music on so he could dance.

Miles and Swagga go hand in hand

He’d lean out of the back window of the team bus and make robot noises to a woman in the crosswalk before telling her, “Take me to your leader.”

He’d also lead his teammates in making themselves human tripods by sticking one hand on the ceiling of the bus and his opposite leg up there as well while balancing himself on the backs of seats.

Wait, what? Human tripod, huh . . .

That was a great and insightful article. Thanks.

great article. I laughed, I cried, and loved les miles.

Still think we should fire him but he is loveable.

Very good article. A must read IMO. I think it is very telling about Miles and why he is the way he is

Back then, he’d go to bed early before his hulking, gregarious Irish father, Hope “Bubba” Miles, would wake him at 4 a.m. “Come on, Duke,” he’d say, “let’s go play a little poker.”

I have seen the video. It definitely exists. I think the back story was that it was after a win and when they had their team meetings Miles surprised the team and did it. He told the team if it was on you tube he would cut the player that posted it. I know at least one guy caught it on his phone and it got passed around. I'll see if I can track it down.
