Miles James "Deuce" McBride (born September 8, 2000) is an American professional basketball player for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the West Virginia Mountaineers.
High school career[]
McBride was a two-sport athlete at Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, playing basketball and football as a quarterback.[1] He played alongside teammate Jaxson Hayes from 2015 to 2018. As a sophomore, he averaged 10.5 points, 2.5 assists, and 1.8 steals per game for the Division I state runners-up in basketball.[2] He suffered a season-ending left foot injury during a football game as a junior. McBride was sidelined from all but the final two games of the basketball season and helped Moeller win the Division I state title. He opted out of playing football in his senior season to focus on basketball.[3] As a senior, McBride averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, leading Moeller to a 29–0 record and another Division I state championship.[4] His team achieved the first undefeated season in its division since 1995.[5] A three-star recruit, he committed to playing college basketball for West Virginia.[2]

On November 8, 2019, McBride made his debut for West Virginia, recording 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals in a 94–84 win over Akron.[6] On December 29, he scored 21 points in a 67–59 win against Ohio State.[7] On January 11, 2020, McBride scored a freshman season-high 22 points in a 66–54 victory over Texas Tech.[8] As a freshman, McBride averaged 9.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field, mostly coming off the bench.[9] He was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.[10]
In his sophomore season debut on November 25, 2020, McBride scored 23 points in a 79–71 win over South Dakota State.[11] On February 6, 2021, he posted 29 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in a 91–79 win against Kansas.[12] In the first round of the NCAA tournament, McBride recorded a career-high 30 points, six rebounds and six assists in an 84–67 victory over Morehead State.[13] As a sophomore, he averaged 15.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game, earning Second Team All-Big 12 honors. On April 2, McBride declared for the 2021 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility. He later decided to remain in the draft, foregoing his college eligibility.[14]
Professional career[]
New York Knicks (2021–present)[]
McBride was selected in the second round of the 2021 NBA draft with the 36th pick by the Oklahoma City Thunder and then traded to the New York Knicks, alongside Rokas Jokubaitis, for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.[15] On August 6, 2021, the Knicks announced that they had signed McBride.[16] Through the 2021 NBA Summer League, McBride averaged 15.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.9 steals per game.

On December 30, 2023, the Knicks announced they had signed McBride to a contract extension, which was reported to be for 3 years and $13 million.[19] With the trade of guards RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, a spot was cleared for McBride to be a permanent fixture in the Knicks rotation. On March 18, 2024, McBride started in place of an injured OG Anunoby, recording a career–high 29 points, a career-high 6 three-pointers in a career-high 47 minutes as the Knicks defeated the Golden State Warriors on the road, 119–112.[20] On March 23, McBride played in all 48 minutes of the Knicks' victory over the Brooklyn Nets, joining his teammate Josh Hart as the only players to not be subbed out of a game during the 2023–24 season.[21]
