Christon Staples’s Childhood and Career
Christon Staples was born on December 26, 1986, in Los Angeles, California, under the zodiac sign Capricorn. Staples is a seasoned dunker. He had worked in corporate employment in Detroit before sending an email to an exhibition basketball team, the Harlem Globetrotters, after becoming tired with his corporate duties. He was subsequently summoned by the club and began touring other locations with them. Smooth was his nickname while playing for the club.
After months of involvement with the club, he chose to pursue a new profession as an actor. According to him,
“[The Globetrotters] weren’t going to let me quit the tour for something that wasn’t a big-budget picture, even if it was directed by a well-known name. So I had to make a difficult choice because I couldn’t do both. At that time, I needed to take a step back and consider my career. I had a lot of success with the Globetrotters and was starting to brand myself and get my name out there. I decided to take a chance and resign from the Globetrotters in order to try my hand at acting and make this film.”
Staples appeared in his debut sports drama film Slamma Jamma, directed by Timothy A. Chey, in 2017. In the film, he portrayed Michael Diggs, a previously promising basketball player who is training for a national dunking contest after serving six years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
