Miles McBride is one of the main names in the NBA

Flamengo not only attracts stars from the world of soccer but also major highlights from basketball around the globe. During the launch of his own book this Wednesday (30), Miles McBride, a star of the New York Knicks (USA) and one of the main figures of the NBA, revealed that he sees himself wearing the Sacred Mantle in the future of his career.

— Honestly, I’ve always had a connection with Brazil. I used to play FIFA when I was a kid and always picked Brazil in the game. And obviously, when I met her (Ana Zortea), she was born here (in Brazil) and now we have a daughter together, it all makes sense. Maybe in about 15 years. Maybe I can play for Flamengo after my NBA career -, he said, before concluding:

— I can imagine my life here. Living here and bringing our daughter. But they (Brazilian basketball) are doing great, I don’t think they need me. Maybe in a few years, many years, but the goal is to play for the United States team -, concluded Miles McBride during his speech at the event.
