“My Whole Mood Changed”: Confessing He Refused a Beer From Stone Cold Steve Austin, 6′9″ Ex-NBA Star Unveils Bizarre Story

Wrestlers are often seen as larger-than-life characters on the big screen. Fans tend to see them as someone out of this world who can fight anybody and everybody who comes their way.

But not only the fans, celebrities from other sports too sometimes get terrified of them, especially when it comes to Stone Cold Steve Austin. His bold, sassy personality can make anyone sacred to the core.

Austin won a number of accolades, took down anyone who crossed his path, beat his boss, and lived his life on his own terms. Such an attitude made him an edgier star of the era. His in-ring dominance is something that immensely impacted the fans and the whole pro wrestling community as a whole.

NBA player once had a bizarre incident involving Stone Cold Austin

Not only in the wrestling community, but he also had a huge impact on other sports celebrities as well. Once former NBA player Darius LaVar Miles underwent a surprising and tense moment after seeing the legendary WWE star in front of his eyes out of nowhere.

The 41-year-old former NBA pro recently appeared in an episode of Player’s tribune. Remembering one of his most vivid memory of meeting the great Stone Cold Steve Austin, the NBA star noted, ‘I went to Monday night Raw in Cleveland this is great I want the Monday Night Raw in Cleveland you know how you got to go down there yeah and all that stuff so we went down in the tunnel and I got my old lady with me and I got my homeboy, he and his old lady when we walked through the door like you know how you walk through the little security little door and all that Stone Cold is right there.’

Miles initially got terrified of him because he thought Austin was about to fight him. His mood descended at that very thought. Later, when it proved otherwise, the star couldn’t get over the aftershock and refused to have some casual moments with the WWE legend.

Bro my whole mood changed because I thought he is gonna play with me yeah so my whole mood changed when he asked he offered me a beer I was like nah man.’, the former Mr. Basketball USA further noted.

Darius Miles’ NBA career

Watching Miles play on the court is certainly one of the most entertaining moments for all basketball fans. The highly sought-after young NBA talent marked his legacy despite falling victim to a career-ending knee injury back in 2006 during his tenure with the Portland Trail Blazers.

The 6 ft 9 inch forward was picked during his high school days by the Los Angeles Clippers, who were on the verge of building a young, energetic team back in 2000. Miles, who had been chosen as the third overall pick for being a promising face, didn’t disappoint them at all.

This was followed by a trade to Cleveland Cavaliers and then to Portland Trail Blazers. He ended his career with Memphis Grizzlies in 2009 abruptly due to the aforementioned knee injury.

Miles was also a part of the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2001 and won further accolades such as Mr. Basketball USA in 2000 and Illinois Mr. Basketball in the same year.
