Over the course of the last five seasons, New York Knicks fans have seen Miles McBride gradually turn himself from a fringe rotation player into a true needle-moving contributor. Now, this season has been the height of his transformation, as Deuce has become one of the team's most important role players.
It's come at the perfect time for a team that came into this campaign with legitimate expectations of representing the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. New York has needed some of the more unexpected names on its roster to take a step up, and McBride has certainly answered the call.
