Mikal Bridges on what it takes each and every day to go out there and play all 82 games, for about six years straight: “Just wanna be out there.”
He absolutely did not want to be out there on the Nets halfway through
That Squidward looking out the window meme felt so accurate for Bridges, I think he also did mention being annoyed by how big of a presence other teams fans could have in Barclays.
Sucks because we were ready to get behind him but as soon as it was evident he was only interested in the Knicks it was over
Yeah, I could see that as well. He definitely felt like the star for the Nets & the organization was treating him that way, he wanted to play with his friends though.
He chose to play meaningful basketball over having his own team possibly getting another max contract. I respect it. And Nets got a haul for him so I really just have respect for the whole situation.
Plenty guys out there who would love to take the bag and put up 20 shots a night in the Barclays and sleep well at night lol
Mikal wants to win and do something else and I respect both options
neither does half the league
Of course a Knicks fan would say this lol
Fuck them picks.
Knicks fans would trade 20 years of picks if they knew they’d win this ring
Two of those picks are already in the G league. FTP all fucking day.
Fuck every single one of them picks.
No matter what happens, fuck them picks.
I miss this guy so much man. Fuck Kevin Durant.
Wdym KD balled tf out for the suns
Were you one of those guys who were chanting KD in the finals?
The best ability is availability and that’s something that is hard to find a lot of in the NBA

pretty sure AC Green was doing shit like that too
That’s not his fault. If the coaches would let him, he would play the whole game
Mikel Bridges is the only player in NBA history.
My man doesn’t get payed by the hour but still wants to hustle!
I wonder if he still eats Chipotle everyday
Just eat chipotle and play basketball
Truly a man of the people.
“also almost exclusively fadeaways and corner 3s”
Great defender
Chipotle power
Remember when the suns traded him and their future for the next 10 years for KD. Sad sad times.

This is true for every longevity record in every sport.
Wasn’t he bitching last year about playing a ton mins??
No. His point was to give the guys on the bench a chance.
