'Blackish' star Miles Brown talks top moments from NBA Awards red carpet

Miles Brown said meeting Drake was the highlight of his night.

"Kareem Abdul-Jabaar is like 10-feet taller than me!" he said.

Miles was also overwhelmed standing next to Shaq.

"Look at Shaq! OMG! He's huge!" Miles exclaimed.

"Now these shorts are everything, no lotion needed," Brown said approvingly.

Once the ceremony got underway the two met again backstage after Green was named defensive player of the year.

Green told Miles, "It feels amazing ... You know playing defense wins championships."

He even had some hoops-related advice: "You've gotta move your feet number one -- number two you just gotta want to do it."

"You need to give me some tips on grabbing rebounds," Miles asked the MVP.

"I can try -- you have to grow a few inches and I can help you," Westbrook said with a smile.

Miles barely kept his cool and even sported a small accessory in the host's honor. "I see you've got a pin," Drake said to him on the carpet. "You look sharp tonight," the rapper added.

"Getting to see Drake ... He's like my favorite rapper so I got to see him and I've met him before but it wasn't like I really didn't get to talk to him like I did on the red carpet and that was awesome," Miles said.
