Alright, basketball fans, buckle up! We’ve got some juicy news about Knicks guard Miles McBride and his swanky new pad.
McBride’s Luxe New Digs
So, Miles McBride just locked down a killer apartment in West Chelsea’s One High Line for a cool $15,500 a month. Yeah, you read that right. According to Mary K. Jacob of the New York Post, this place is nothing short of spectacular. One High Line raked in a mind-blowing $800 million in sales in the first half of 2024, including a jaw-dropping $52 million penthouse sale. Talk about living large!
McBride’s new crib is a 1,600-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom beauty. With a little help from Douglas Elliman’s Ben Jacobs and Jessica Chestler, he snagged this gem. The landlord was repped by Alyssa Brody and William Kuchins from the Development Marketing Team. This place is decked out with oak chevron floors, a Molteni kitchen, and a Gaggenau appliance package. Oh, and did I mention the marble accents? Calacatta Gold countertops, Saint Laurent marble borders, and a Kaldewei soaking tub. Fancy, huh?
Swanky Features & Amenities
In the primary suite, McBride enjoys motorized blackout shades and custom furniture from RH and William Yoaward. Plus, there’s an enormous walk-in closet from California Closets. The ensuite bathroom? Marble floors, radiant heat, and a massive tub. The second bedroom isn’t too shabby either, with its own marble-clad bathroom and radiant heat.
The living room is where it gets really fun. Picture this: a 65-inch Samsung Frame TV, custom rugs, and a marble dining table. And if that’s not enough, One High Line residents get access to top-tier amenities like a lap pool, a golf simulator, and services from the upcoming Faena Hotel.
Big Contract, Big Moves
Now, you might be wondering how McBride can afford such a lavish lifestyle. Well, in December 2023, he signed a three-year, $13 million contract extension with the Knicks. According to Spotrac, his average annual salary is $4.33 million, with a $4.71 million base salary for the 2024-25 season. So yeah, he’s doing alright for himself.
Last season, McBride played in 68 games (14 starts) and put up career highs across the board: 8.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 19.5 minutes per game. He shot career bests of 45.2% from the field, 41% from beyond the arc, and 86% from the free-throw line. Not too shabby, right?
Career-High Performances
McBride had some standout moments last season, too. On March 18, he dropped a career-high 29 points in the Knicks’ 119-112 win against the Warriors. Then, on March 27, he matched that performance in a 145-101 blowout against the Raptors, hitting a career-best nine 3-pointers on 14 attempts. Talk about being on fire!
So, what do you think? Can McBride keep up this level of play and justify his hefty contract? Or will the pressure of NYC living get to him? In my opinion, he’s got the talent and the drive to make it big. But hey, only time will tell.
What’s your bold prediction for McBride’s future with the Knicks? Will he become a cornerstone of the team, or is this just a flash in the pan? Let’s hear your thoughts!
