Knicks’ Miles McBride hits crazy shot to win West Virginia student tuition on ‘Pat McAfee Show’

Miles “Deuce” McBride just helped pay for someone’s college fund.

The Knicks guard and former West Virginia star hit a ridiculous shot over a herd of students at a live airing of “The Pat McAfee Show” from the school on Friday.

McBride appeared for a segment on the ex-punter and fellow WVU alum’s show and hit a consequential — and expensive shot that resulted in McAfee and the show paying for a student’s college tuition.

The crowd outside of Milan Puskar Stadium went crazy.

McBride went to dap up and embrace the student afterward.

In the spirit of giving, McAfee also pointed to two students who showed up for the show around 3 a.m. and said he would also be giving them about $10,000 each.

McBride will be entering his fourth NBA season this fall as the Knicks guard will look to build off his most productive campaign yet.

The 6-foot-2 sharpshooter averaged 8.3 points per game last season — a career-high by far — while shooting 41 percent from 3, over 10 percentage points better than the previous campaign.

McBride also starred for the short-handed Knicks in the playoffs, logging 26.7 minutes per contest across 13 appearances, logging 11.0 points per game and hitting 36.8 percent from three in over five attempts per contest.

McBride was originally selected in the second round — No. 36 overall — in the 2021 NBA Draft.

He signed a three-year extension with the Knicks last season worth $13 million and is expected to play a meaningful role in the backcourt going forward.
