Indeed, summer 2025 was a highlight-reel offseason for Miles McBride. He and girlfriend, former West Virginia University swimmer Ana Zortea, welcomed their daughter, Ace McBride. The name works as a nice companion to her father’s moniker — Ace and Deuce. Within days of Ace’s birth, McBride announced the release of his children’s book on Amazon, “Deuce: The Champion of Friendship,” a story of basketball and empathy as a uniting force. It was part of a mission inspired by Kobe Bryant, whose life after retirement followed an altruistic path geared toward teaching youth basketball through his Mamba Academy.
