Every time that Miles 'Deuce' McBride catches the basketball, it kind of sounds like the New York Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden are booing him.
They're not, though. It simply has to do with his nickname.
The noise gets extra loud when McBride makes a shot, which he does often. He's a quality outside shooter off the bench, and he can get MSG riled up in a hurry.
Here's the full scoop.

Any name that rhymes a little bit with 'boo' can get this treatment from the crowd, and it works well for Deuce.
