    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Who are your All-Star starters in the East?
    Miles: "I'd have to go small. But I'd definitely start with Jermaine O'Neal; he's the only dominant player the East really has. Then T-Mac, Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce, and either Baron (Davis) or LeBron (James)."

    Who has the best handle in the NBA?
    Miles: "Well, there are probably a lot of people who can dribble better than the guy I'm going to name, but I think Kobe (Bryant) has the best handle. He just has so many moves; I really like the way he can bring it. Maybe Jamaal Tinsley too. It's funny, you can't really see it in NBA games, but outside of the actual games or when you play pick-up, there are so many guys who can really bring it. Guys like Jamal Crawford and Jamaal Tinsley. You gotta watch yourself when playing against them."

    Do you have a favorite throwback NBA uniform?
    Miles: "No, but my favorite throwback uniform, period, is O.J. Simpson's USC jersey."

    What NBA player do you think has the best sense of style?
    Miles: "Shaq's got style. Kobe's got style. There are so many people ... basically everybody with big contracts has style. (Laughs.) As long as you have $100 million, you have style. Anybody with a big, ol' contract."

    When did you first dunk?
    Miles: "In the fifth grade."

    We've heard reports that Earl Boykins can dunk at 5-5. Can you confirm this from your days with him on the Clippers?
    Miles: "On a good day, I think he can. He can definitely grab the rim, I know that much. And on a good day, I'll bet he can turn it over and dunk it."

    Interesting...he has the same favorite bball movie as me.

    It's good to see he's honest with himself, he's not like one of those guys that say "o, you guys don't give enough love to the eastern teams etc..."

    Nice interview, people have always asked that about Earl. I know myself I can't dunk every day either, I need to have a mad adrenaline rush.
