So, a new app just dropped, and it’s got a pretty interesting origin story. It’s called Mmotion, and it’s the brainchild of none other than New York Knicks guard Miles McBride. Yeah, the basketball player. Apparently, he’s also a tech entrepreneur now.
It’s a friendship app, at its core. But it’s got a twist. It combines location sharing with social discovery, aiming, you could say, to be a rival to Snap Map. The goal? To help you find friends nearby who share your interests.
You know, it makes sense, in a way. Athletes often have a lot of downtime, travel, and a built-in network. Maybe he saw a need, or a gap in the market. Or maybe he just thought it would be a cool project. Whatever the reason, it’s out there now, ready for people to use.
More Than Just a Map
The idea, as I understand it, isn’t just to see where your friends are. It’s about finding people who are into the same things you are, who are *nearby*. That adds a layer of, well, potential. You could be hanging out, and then *boom* — you see someone else nearby who loves the same obscure band, or the same hiking trail. It’s location-sharing with a purpose, in a sense.
The app launched on November 10, 2025, according to the TechCrunch report. So, it’s fresh off the presses, as they say. It’ll be interesting to see how it takes off. The competition is pretty fierce, of course. Snap Map has a massive user base already, and plenty of other apps are vying for attention in the social space. But it’s a crowded field, and there’s always room for something new, right?
What’s intriguing is the shift. From the court to the code, or at least, to the app development world. A lot of athletes are getting into the tech game these days. It’s a smart move, diversifying your interests and your income streams. And it shows a certain kind of forward thinking. You have to respect that.
