When you talk about Kansas basketball record holders, you’re talking about some of the very best to play the sport at the college level. That’s the company that Aaron Miles—the Jayhawks’ all-time assists leader and ninth in the history of college basketball—finds himself in. And Miles has made a knack of keeping himself in elite company. His high school teammate and best friend, Michael Lee, is another former Jayhawk. The talent he played with at Kansas speaks for itself. Names like Gooden, Collison, Hinrich, Boschee and Simien. The tendency to surround himself with the best has followed him into his coaching career. Now an assistant with the Golden State Warriors, Miles works with an NBA champion coach in Steve Kerr. It might be tempting to dismiss Aaron Miles as a guy who’s just been in the right place at the right time. But his work ethic and dedication to team over self make him a true Jayhawk great.
