A Little Trip Down Memory Lane
Funny how a small thing can send you down a rabbit hole, right? I was rummaging through some old boxes in the garage the other day – you know, the kind you tell yourself you’ll sort out ‘next weekend’ for about five years straight. Anyway, I pulled out this old sports magazine, probably from like, a decade ago or more.
And who do I see? A feature on a young CJ Miles. I think he was with the Pacers or maybe even the Jazz back then, can’t quite recall. Seeing that fresh face, full of potential, really made me stop and think. Man, time just flies, doesn’t it? Especially with athletes. One minute they’re the hot new rookie, next thing you know, they’re seasoned vets or even hanging up their sneakers.
So, the question just popped into my head: how old is CJ Miles now? It wasn’t super important, just one of those little curiosities that kinda bugs you until you find out. You know how it is.
Firing Up the Search Engine
Naturally, my next step was to grab my phone. It’s pretty wild how quickly we can dig up answers to these random thoughts nowadays. Back in the day, I’d have to, I dunno, hope it was mentioned on TV or maybe find an old player card or something? Ha!
So, I punched in the usual stuff: “CJ Miles age”, “how old is CJ Miles”. The internet did its thing, you know, churned out a load of results. You always get the standard mix – stats pages from big sports sites, old news articles, maybe a highlight clip or two if you’re lucky.
- First click, usually landed me on some big-name sports encyclopedia type of page.
- Then, I did a quick scan, my eyes peeled for that birth date or current age.
And there it was, plain as day: Born March 18, 1987.
The Moment of Realization
Alright, March 18, 1987. So, a bit of quick mental math… or sometimes the search result just spells it out for you, which is handy. As I’m sitting here, thinking back on it, that puts him… well, you can figure out the years from 1987 to today! Let’s just say he’s comfortably in his late thirties now.
It’s not like I uncovered some big mystery, but it scratched that little itch of curiosity. And honestly, it made me feel a tad old too, remembering him as that young guy in the magazine. It’s just another one of those things that reminds you how fast the years are zipping by. One day you’re watching a player’s debut, and seems like the next, you’re looking up their age ’cause it feels like a whole era has passed.
Anyway, that was my little “research project” for that moment. Just a random thought that got sparked by an old magazine. Funny where your mind wanders sometimes, eh?
