"Miles Julian Simon" is a retired American professional basketball player.

Simon was born in Stockholm to an American father and a Norwegian mother. He played guard for the University of Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team, where he formed a formidable backcourt duo with future NBA point guard Mike Bibby. He won the Most Outstanding Player award in the 1997 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship/NCAA Tournament in which University of Arizona/Arizona defeated three #1 ranked teams University of Kansas, University of North Carolina, and University of Kentucky in overtime (sport)/overtime to win the national championship.

After college, Simon played five games with the Orlando Magic during the 1999 NBA season. He played for two seasons for the Dakota Wizards of the Continental Basketball Association/CBA, whom he led to a CBA championship in 2002. Simon earned enough awards and honors in 2001–2002 to make him the most decorated player in CBA history. He received honors as Player of the Week four times. He was named the CBA Newcomer of the Year, the CBA MVP, and the Playoff MVP. He also holds the CBA record for most free throws made in a row at 60.

I think he needs to use those games as a springboard and play that way on a consistent basis all the time. Then he will be fine for a pro career. He's a big guard who can handle the ball and his work ethic is second to none.

We haven't had a concentrated game with effort in 40 minutes in every game. Our guys think that if they put on the uniform, it guarantees you a victory. That's not the case with so much parity these days. Teams don't fear Arizona like they have in the past.
