C.J. Miles’ 30th birthday surprise party included ‘the illest cake of all time’

Having a birthday in the middle of the NBA season is not easy for a player — coach, trainer, or staff member, for that matter — to celebrate with family and friends. They aren’t on their own schedule and typically have a game every other day.

Pacers forward C.J. Miles turned 30 last week, on March 18, and some of his closet friends made their way to Indy recently for a surprise party.

“We finally got to celebrate (C.J.) turning 30!” C.J.’s wife, Lauren, shared on Instagram. The two married last fall. “He thought we were going to watch Beauty and the Beast … little did he know and all his favorites came in town! We saw PLENTY of tears last night. SUCCESS!”

The highlight, beyond seeing some of his closest friends, had to be the three-tiered cake that featured every jersey he had ever worn. “This def might be the illest cake of all time!!” Miles wrote.

“It literally had every jersey man.. this AMAZING !! … I def cried today lol” he wrote on Instagram.
