If you are already weary of endless draft content and tea-leaf speculation, here’s something for you. Miles “Deuce” McBride, the Knicks’ Duracell Bunny of the bench, appeared on episode 89 of the Pat Bev Podcast.
The scrappy 23-year-old guard just finished his third season in New York and did so in style. After January 1, when his role on the team grew from deep bench guy to key cog, he averaged 10.7 points while shooting 45% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc.
On the podcast, they discuss McBride’s specific influences. “I watched LeBron, obviously, being an Ohio kid,” but he never quite measured up, so to speak.
