Recently, a name from the NBA past made its way to The Players’ Tribune. Darius Miles, once a high school-to-pro prodigy, fell off the map. He played two of his 11 years with the up and coming Los Angeles Clippers. Now, just two years since he filed bankruptcy after making millions during his career, Miles shares his story.
It’s good to see a former player come out and share about their life beyond the accomplishments. Darius Miles went through a lot that caused him to get to such a low point. He dealt with depression which stemmed to the two events of his mother’s death from cancer and the end of his NBA career due to injuries.
