Miles That Matter
GEICO / Paramount+ | Three-Part Docuseries | Director
Miles That Matter follows three basketball stars — Azzi Fudd, Trey McKenney, and Napheesa Collier — back to the roads, gyms, and kitchen tables that shaped them before the spotlight ever found them. Each episode traces one athlete's return home: Fudd through Arlington, VA, and her mother's basketball legacy; McKenney back to Flint, Michigan, his old boarding school, and his grandfather's church; Collier through Miami and her family's roads in Missouri, tracing the community roots that later inspired her to help found a new league.
Produced by GEICO in partnership with Religion of Sports as part of GEICO's official NCAA sponsorship, the series premiered March 16, 2026 on Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network to coincide with March Madness. It's built around a simple idea GEICO wanted at its center: the early morning drives and late-night pickups — the unglamorous miles — are where greatness actually gets built.
