Upwardly mobile Miles trending on Twitter, in career
It was a bit past 5 p.m. Sunday, and Tim Miles was fashionably late to a cocktail party for the American Cancer Society's Coaches vs. Cancer benefit. Dr. J - the great Julius Erving - already was there, making a house call. Carrot Top had yet to arrive, but it would only be a matter of time.
Miles was wearing a blue checkered shirt and khakis, and those wire-rimmed glasses that make him look less like a basketball coach and more like an accountant. The trendy Hyde lounge at Bellagio was packed with movers and shakers and attractive women with bare shoulders.
And like in that Talking Heads song, Tim Miles might have asked himself, "Well, how did I get here?"
