McBride and his girlfriend, Ana Zortea, recently had their first child, naming her Ace. The Knicks’ backup guard continues to build his legacy as he grows in the NBA realm.

The Knicks’ backup guard has always been one to give back to his community. Last summer, he paid for a West Virginia student’s college tuition during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show after sinking a long jump shot over a crowd of students.

McBride has been an impactful teammate on the court as well. He was a part of the team’s best-performing five-man lineups during the regular season and postseason, and he has had a great impact on both ends.

The 2025-26 season will be a big one for McBride, as he will look to capitalize on his most productive season as a pro. He averaged 9.5 points and shot 36.9% from three-point range as the team’s sixth man this past season.

While he continues to develop as a player, he is also continuing to make a profound impact on his community by releasing a children’s book.
