Miles McBride on Derrick Rose: “I couldn’t have asked for a better vet”

The New York Knicks veteran guard Derrick Rose made a promise to his fellow teammate Miles McBride over Thanksgiving dinner a year ago. 

“It’s my job to steer him in the right direction, which I told his mom and his family,” Rose recalled. “It’s bigger than basketball.” 

That didn’t change when McBride replaced Rose in the Knicks’ rotation. 

“I couldn’t have asked for a better vet. I’m just very thankful he’s been able to take me under his wing,” McBride said of Rose. “Derrick is a great person, on and off the court. I think that’s the most important thing. One of the best things I’ve learned from him was not to get too high, not to get too low, because things change quickly in this league.”
