Speaker 1 (00:00):
Listening to the Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Twenty seven away from five o'clock. This is ESPN fifteen thirty.
We'll do sports headlines in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
As you know.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Chances are you know at least if you listen to
the show. I am a lifelong and die hard fan
of the New York Knicks, going back to when I
was a kid. In recent years, it's been more fun
for two reasons. One, the team has been relevant and
they've been good, and they've made playoff runs. But above
and beyond that, they've got a local guy, and he's
not just on the team. He has established himself as
(00:34):
a key contributor to the Knicks, who made the Eastern
Conference Finals for the first time in twenty five years.
A big part of that team, he made ten starts
this season, averaged a career high nine and a half points,
authored a ton of big moments in the postseason. Above
and beyond that, he is a newly published author of
a children's book, and he just became a father for
(00:57):
the first time. He is a Molar high school product
and kind enough to give us a few minutes during
his offseason Deuce McBride.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Deuce, it is awesome to have you. Thank you for
joining us. How are you, man?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'm doing well.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Appreciate you having me.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I said this during the middle of the postseason run.
We got to get you on the show. You joined
me two years ago, and my sincere hope was you
would be joining me after some sort of championship parade
that didn't happen. I've barely gotten over it. How about you.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm still having nightmares myself, but uh, you know, it
was a good run. You know, I'm very fortunate to
have had the year I had and you know, play
with the guys I played with.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So are you are you able to now with the
benefit of a little time since the season ended, And
I know you've been busy with with your personal life,
but but are you able to look back on it
as a positive experience? Are you starting to turn the
page to next year? Like, how do you process the
way the season went down and how it ended?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, definitely are We're starting to turn the page, obviously
making making moves within the team. But myself, you know,
I look at a year as any year I don't
win the championship. You know, it's it's definitely, you know, disappointing.
It's it's not a failure, but you know, it's very
disappointing to know that we came up short. But I
(02:19):
think now is the time after you know, okay, see
you want it is when I started shifting my focus
to next year.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What are you guys going to hire a coach?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Hey, that's above my pay games, that's above my pay.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I mean it is.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know, it's almost July. Everybody else has a coach
right now? I mean is it are you and your
teammates kind of texting each other wondering like all right,
you know it's it's it's kind of time to to
hire somebody to put on the bench for us next year.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I mean, I mean our front office has done an
amazing job, you know, putting together teams, and I'll trust
them with whoever they hire. You know, they're going to
do a great job and do their due diligence of
you know, finding whoever's best to coach us.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
What is playing for Tom Thibodau.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Like it was a it was a great experience, you know,
four years with him, you know, taught me a lot
of how to approach each day as a pro. You know,
he's obviously a hard coach. A lot of tough moments,
but overall it was it was a good experience.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Just playing for Bob Huggins at West Virginia, prepare you
for playing for Tom Thibodeaux.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Oh, without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You know, TAM's was definitely a hard coach. But there's
not many built like hugs, not many.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That that's an understatement. So let's let's talk about the
playoff run, because the the the highlight for for those
of us who love the Knicks and those of us
who just care about the Knicks, maybe just because of you,
was was Game six against Boston, where the Knicks haven't
made the Eastern Conference Final in twenty five years. Knicks
fans are conditioned to expect the worst, and so you
(04:06):
lose Game five, you come home, you don't want it
to go to a game seven. Obviously, Jason Tatum is hurt,
but Knicks fans are fearing the worst, and then you
blow Boston out. So the fourth quarter was like unlike
anything I've experienced as a fan of that franchise in
quite a while. You were on the floor for most
of it. What were those moments like during Game six
(04:27):
against Boston.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I mean, honestly, that was one of the art more
intense games.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I feel like we played the whole season.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
We felt like we didn't come into Game five prepped
the way.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
We should have been.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And you know, I feel like game six we had
this mentality, like I don't think I've been on the
team my whole life that had a mentality going into a.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Game like that.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So being on the floor with guys you know that
are giving their all to do something special, there's nothing
like it, and especially being an MSD to do it
for the fans for a city that's you know, been
longing for a good Knicks team and to go back,
you know, and and be good and you look at
all the old teams that have done great things.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I mean, it was it was special to be.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
On the floor when a Madison Square Garden crowd during
a playoff game is yelling your name out loud in Unison.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What is that like?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It's special?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I think, you know, being able to come from basically
playing not at all, you know, my my rookie year,
to like you said, having all of MSD yell my name.
I mean, there's not much more you want as a
basketball player, and you know, those are things you dream
of as a kid, dream of as a kid, being
(05:46):
able to go into the mecca of basketball, the world's
greatest arena, playing the world's greatest stage, and you know
the fans love you.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You have been described as one of the NBA's best bargains.
Is is that? Is that a title that you're proud of?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I would say so, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I mean I'm glad everybody else thinks. You know, I'm
worth more. You know, obviously it was a good contract
on both parts.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I'm making a lot of money, more money.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Than I've ever made in my life. So I'm truly
blessed in that sense. And you know, when the time comes,
you know, I'll be uh, I'll be ready.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I hear that.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know, you joined us two years ago, so you
had been in the league for two years, and it
kind of felt like during that second year there were
moments that made a lot of us go okay, like
Deuce may stick and he may do then just more,
may do more than just occupy a roster spot, Like
he's he's got a chance to make a difference.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
There.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Go back to the twenty twenty four season, when you
guys played Indiana in the in the second round, and
there were a bunch of injuries, and you guys lost
in the Eastern semifinal. It felt like that was the
season where you really arrived and we're not shuttling you
back and forth between here and the G League, like
you have an established role and here's what it's going
to be.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Was there a moment where you went, you know what,
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
This is the role that I can be in and
I can be a reason why this team does really well.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah. I mean, honestly, I always felt like I was
capable of it. I just felt like I needed the
opportunity to showcase it honestly and obviously make some trades.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Some guys got.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Injured, and it was just the perfect the perfect chance
for me, and I felt like I'd worked my whole
life to be ready for that role, and I feel
like I just stepped into it because I was prepared.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
What has to happen for you guys to bring New
York its first NBA championship since nineteen seventy three next year.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I mean, honestly, I felt like we were right there.
I think there's a great chance.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
For us to do something special in as.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Long as you know, we handle our business and we
come into the season focus. I don't I don't see
a reason why we're not, you know, hoisting up a
banner at the start of the following season.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So the season ends, and uh, you announced that you're
a father for the first time.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What has that experience been like.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Oh, it's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's my daughter, Ace is It's truly a blessing in
my life.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It's it's been some.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Some sleepless nights, without a doubt, But uh, I definitely
appreciate what my parents did for me a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
More so you have you have a Deuce and you
have an Ace in the same household.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah good, very good.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
On on top of that, you have released a children's book,
Deuce The Champion of Friendship. When did you decide you
wanted to write a children's book, you.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Know, it's been a long time coming. I felt like.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I've always wanted to inspire the youth, and I feel
like writing this book is going to give people a
chance to understand that, you know, we're not just basketball players,
We're not just athletes. We have a lot of other
endeavors in our lives, and I felt like writing this
book would kind of showcase that you can be more
than an athlete as well as being a good person
(09:27):
and like I said, inspiring the youth overall.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Deuce A Champion of Friendship is available on Amazon in
addition to other outlets.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Is this the first of a few?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Is this going to be a thing moving forward?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, I got a good idea for the next one,
So I'm going to let this first one marin a
a little bit and hopefully the next one will be
coming soon.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I know, when you have an infant, that's your world,
but you do have a fair amount of time between
now and the start of training. Can beyond just learning
the roads to being a father. What are you doing
this offseason?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Honestly, just working on my game. Obviously waiting on the coach.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
So I'm just going to continue to.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Do what I've done, you know, my whole life, and
just work on my game. I take the summer is
pretty serious in my development, so I'll be hanging around
New York.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, what do you.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
What is the area of your game that you feel
like this summer you have to work on the most.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I think just continue to be uh, you know, floor general,
whether I'm bringing up the ball or playing off the ball.
I think I can continue to command a presence, you know,
as a as a leader of the team.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I'm growing into a more of a vet.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Role now, so I think I have a I can
demand a bigger, bigger role.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's it's kind of cool with your role really firmly established.
You know, you've had training camps where you're just trying
to make the team, and you've had training camps where
you're trying to show that you deserve minutes. It's got
to be and I'm sure there was the last summer,
last offseason a little bit of a different dynamic. When
you'll show up and you've established yourself here's what I
can do, and then you talked about wanting to do more.
(11:09):
That's that's got to be a pretty good place to
be in.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, for sure, I feel like, you know, my feeling
is really high. I think I try not to put
any limits on on myself because I think I can.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I can do great things in.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
This league and I'm showing case a lot, and I
just want to focus on continue to raise the raise
the bar.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You also annually have a basketball camp you now in
the middle of all these other things. Is that still
happening this summer?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I think it might be more of a camp on
a weekend day in September. I know people are usually
on football time, but I think we're gonna make it
work in either middle August or September. So be on
the lookout for it, everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
All right, we'll be checking that out. How much time
do you spend in the offseason in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I try to get back home a good amount, whether
it's you know, seeing family or working out.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
But I'll get back home a decent amount.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I met your mom two years ago and you had
been on our show, and she said to me, are
you really a Knicks fan? And I had to tell her,
like yes, like that, and even more so since we
have a local guy on the team, like I had
to convince her, so do me a favor, tell her
that radio guy remains as big of a Knicks fan.
I was heartbroat. I went to Indy for Game four.
(12:32):
I was heartbroken that. You know, you guys lost when
you did. But watching you and watching team, look, man,
it's a team that in Cincinnati. I don't have to
talk about professionally and so that playoff run was was
really exciting. And in a year, I need you to
join me after you guys you know, are in the
parade at the Candian Heroes in New York.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Okay, Hey, hopefully we'll be seeing you up in New
York for the parade.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Don I'll broadcast from it. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2 (13:02):

father and the children's book and continued success. I can't
thank you enough. I've become a huge fan and it's
awesome to have you.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I know Duce mentioned it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The plans for the basketball camp have been kind of
fluid because of Deuce's schedule, but obviously you heard. The
plan is to still have it here late summer, perhaps
early fall. I'm read the up lane blocked off from

Long as you know, we handle our business and we
come into the season focus. I don't I don't see
a reason why we're not, you know, hoisting up a
banner at the start of the following season.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So the season ends, and uh, you announced that you're
a father for the first time.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What has that experience been like.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Oh, it's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's my daughter, Ace is It's truly a blessing in
my life.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It's it's been some.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Some sleepless nights, without a doubt, But uh, I definitely
appreciate what my parents did for me a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
More so you have you have a Deuce and you
have an Ace in the same household.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah good, very good.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
On on top of that, you have released a children's book,
Deuce The Champion of Friendship. When did you decide you
wanted to write a children's book, you.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Know, it's been a long time coming. I felt like.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I've always wanted to inspire the youth, and I feel
like writing this book is going to give people a
chance to understand that, you know, we're not just basketball players,
We're not just athletes. We have a lot of other
endeavors in our lives, and I felt like writing this
book would kind of showcase that you can be more
than an athlete as well as being a good person
(09:27):
and like I said, inspiring the youth overall.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Deuce A Champion of Friendship is available on Amazon in
addition to other outlets.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Is this the first of a few?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Is this going to be a thing moving forward?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, I got a good idea for the next one,
So I'm going to let this first one marin a
a little bit and hopefully the next one will be
coming soon.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I know, when you have an infant, that's your world,
but you do have a fair amount of time between
now and the start of training. Can beyond just learning
the roads to being a father. What are you doing
this offseason?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Honestly, just working on my game. Obviously waiting on the coach.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
So I'm just going to continue to.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Do what I've done, you know, my whole life, and
just work on my game. I take the summer is
pretty serious in my development, so I'll be hanging around
New York.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, what do you.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
What is the area of your game that you feel
like this summer you have to work on the most.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I think just continue to be uh, you know, floor general,
whether I'm bringing up the ball or playing off the ball.
I think I can continue to command a presence, you know,
as a as a leader of the team.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I'm growing into a more of a vet.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Role now, so I think I have a I can
demand a bigger, bigger role.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's it's kind of cool with your role really firmly established.
You know, you've had training camps where you're just trying
to make the team, and you've had training camps where
you're trying to show that you deserve minutes. It's got
to be and I'm sure there was the last summer,
last offseason a little bit of a different dynamic. When
you'll show up and you've established yourself here's what I
can do, and then you talked about wanting to do more.
(11:09):
That's that's got to be a pretty good place to
be in.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, for sure, I feel like, you know, my feeling
is really high. I think I try not to put
any limits on on myself because I think I can.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I can do great things in.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
This league and I'm showing case a lot, and I
just want to focus on continue to raise the raise
the bar.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You also annually have a basketball camp you now in
the middle of all these other things. Is that still
happening this summer?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I think it might be more of a camp on
a weekend day in September. I know people are usually
on football time, but I think we're gonna make it
work in either middle August or September. So be on
the lookout for it, everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
All right, we'll be checking that out. How much time
do you spend in the offseason in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I try to get back home a good amount, whether
it's you know, seeing family or working out.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
But I'll get back home a decent amount.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I met your mom two years ago and you had
been on our show, and she said to me, are
you really a Knicks fan? And I had to tell her,
like yes, like that, and even more so since we
have a local guy on the team, like I had
to convince her, so do me a favor, tell her
that radio guy remains as big of a Knicks fan.
I was heartbroat. I went to Indy for Game four.
(12:32):
I was heartbroken that. You know, you guys lost when
you did. But watching you and watching team, look, man,
it's a team that in Cincinnati. I don't have to
talk about professionally and so that playoff run was was
really exciting. And in a year, I need you to
join me after you guys you know, are in the
parade at the Candian Heroes in New York.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Okay, Hey, hopefully we'll be seeing you up in New
York for the parade.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Don I'll broadcast from it. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Lovely, congratulations on a great year, Congratulations on becoming a
father and the children's book and continued success. I can't
thank you enough. I've become a huge fan and it's
awesome to have you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thanks so much, Hey, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):

book is available on Amazon. It's it's pretty cool, So
go and check that out. Deuce the Champion of Friendship

six NBA champion New York Knicks. Tarren Bland getting that done.
(13:41):
The pride of Molar High School in West Virginia University

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I know Duce mentioned it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The plans for the basketball camp have been kind of
fluid because of Deuce's schedule, but obviously you heard. The
plan is to still have it here late summer, perhaps
early fall. I'm read the up lane blocked off from
