This is really great!
Not just the Indiana Pacers center. Miles Turner He's all about the game of basketball, but he's also all about Star Wars. (Related: 'It's really bad': 76ers' Joel Embiid is starting to fall apart, this could be the beginning of the end)
Every year, the Pacers hold a “Star Wars” night, and the 2024 edition featured Turner showing up at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday wearing a Kylo Ren costume. In addition, he had two Sith troopers with him.
My boyfriend was a total “Star Wars” geek, and it couldn't have been any better!

If you look into it, this is what Turner has been doing for the past four seasons. Plus, when his unknown assistant doesn't show up, he enlists his girlfriend Aishia Janelle to join in the festivities.
Come on, it's love!
Ah, but it's deeper.
The Pacers star is such a “Star Wars” nerd that he has a Lego empire spanning the entire fantasy world.
I'll admit it now, I'm not a big Star Wars fan anymore. Because I refuse to watch anything Disney has anything to do with it. It's bad enough that sports (ESPN) have to do that. But I was a big Star Wars fan when I was a kid, so I can understand how much Myles Turner loves Star Wars.
It reminds me of my modern interest in weather. It's a reminder of how Buffalo's potential lake-effect snow can be so exciting. (lol)
