Mikal Bridges overcome with emotions after the Knicks Finals win.
Man crying like he won the WCF, well deserved.
Goat commenf
World Curling Federation?
Western Conference Finals, he’s making a joke about Wemby’s reaction to beating OKC in G7
Bro really hit the Pat Bev celly for that
It was a great series and he played his heart out. Let the young man have his well-deserved celebration. You guys are insufferable troglodytes.
I think being up 2-0 haunted him. This run had to be healing.
I’m pretty sure he said something like that.
During the Suns run, he started looking up what it would take for him to be FMVP so he probably feels like his focus slipped cause of that.
Wow he really did that??
Just remember that he was 24 at the time

Lol you made it sound kinda worse than it was
It didn’t really sound that bad how he explained it
I’m happy for Mikal
He had to hear a lot of shit from EVERYONE. Even us sometimes.
Iron-man. Nova Knick. CHAMPION.
Fuck them picks.
He is free. The picks don’t matter anymore. Who cares what they become? The point was to win a championship with him on the team as a key contributor. Mission Accomplished.
Every trade for whatever the cost is worth it now. That’s it.
Bridges is a champion.
THE NEW YORK FUCKING KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS
Yeah, you go 50 years without winning a Championship. No assets matter at that point. Job is done.
I feel like Mikal is the Knicks Giancarlo Stanton (outside of the injuries which he is the exact opposite). Fans bitch and moan about his play during the season but they both know that once the playoffs come around “you gonna love me again”
ahh the fact that the knicks have been more sucessful than the yankees have over the last two decades does my heart good.
The reason this title means so much to Knicks fans is because this team has been a laughingstock for much of the last couple of decades. The Yankees haven’t been a playoff team almost every year and have won a WS and 2 ALCS in that time.
Bruh the Yankees and Knicks have the same number of championships in the last 2 decades (‘09 yanks) and they have been to one more WS and constantly winning the division and making deep playoff runs. Dumb take
Nah Giancarlo delivers during the regular season too, his problem is injuries like you mentioned.
Mikal is more like Eli. both were Iron men who never missed games, were pretty hit or miss during the regular season most years but when it came to the playoffs they locked the fuck in
that’s a very good observation, I agree. One thing is true about all three is that their ability to take immense NYC pressure cooker criticism with such grace and dignity is something that should be studied by any big time athlete that ever signs a NY contract.
I still think we’ll get someone good at 30 in the draft
We got what we wanted from the deal, no harm if you get yours. I know it’s supposed to be a rivalry but it’s good for the city when the teams are good.
Fuck the nets
This comment and the one it’s replying to: the duality of man
God already did.
That pygmy thing from Jersey
The nets being good or bad or average has no impact on the city
It makes beating them more exciting
I guess. There’s a number of teams I enjoy beating more
I personally have a soft spot for the nets because of the name Brooklyn but beyond that I do not really think about them much
I have to say they probably lost this trade given it played a part in us winning the title. Does not matter how those picks pan out, unless they they somehow also lead the Nets to it.
Most likely a win-win, Nets weren’t doing anything with Bridges and the Knicks trade was definitely the best return they could get.
Tbh if we traded him somewhere else, yall probably still win because Rose wouldnt just sit on 6 tradeable picks while we would just have less capital. Bridges was arguably the 5th most important player this series, didnt play poorly or anything, just that he was more important in a potential Wolves, Nuggets, or Thunder matchup
I hope you do!
Master class in asset management from Leon’s team.
Bridges is a such a high caliber player. Knicks are so good because all 5 starters can straight up ball. There’s no specialist or one dimensional role player. All 5 can make plays on both ends of the floor AND get buckets AND take care of the ball.
We saw so many teams collapse late because they had wink links. Not here. Mikal was worth the cost and he’s on a cap friendly deal
Yeah he didn’t have the best series but his length and conditioning on defense was key
He just like me for real🥹
Wasn’t he traded from Phoenix to Brooklyn for Durant? Then Brooklyn didn’t want him either.
Brunson was traded from Dallas. Towns traded from Minnesota. Hart was part of the Davis trade between Pelicans and Lakers.
This Knicks squad seems like a bunch of misfits and unwanted players. That’s pretty cool that they won a championship together.
Meanwhile no championship for Phoenix, Brooklyn, Dallas, Minnesota and New Orleans. Only the Lakers won from their trade.
I don’t think it was anything to do with bk not wanting him, everything to do with they were ripping it down to the studs and Knicks offered an incredible deal.
thank you “brooklyn didn’t want him” uhh no brooklyn wanted the 5 first round picks they got offered for the guy
They were made an offer they couldn’t refuse.
The way this team was built reminds me of the 04 Pistons. A bunch of outcasts but really good players that play hard and put team first. I hope they have a long run with this core unit.
Good.
Hart wasn’t part of the Davis trade btw. He also played in Portland after NO before traded to the Knicks
One of my favorite Suns ever. Can’t believe we traded him, Cam, and every pick we had for a complete asshole
It feel bitter about it because even then I was one of the only few people I knew that wasn’t for it. Hindsight is 20⁄20, but it didn’t feel right and then it was so much worse than I feared.
You should absolutely believe that given the Suns’ history.
after 556 consecutive games, emotions finally got a possession
He earned it , been a long road for Mikel - had to sacrifice his role , had some bad games where the media and fans questioned the trade and his value , and he really did hit some big shots this game when nobody else was supporting Jalen’s performance .
Love this dude
this Knicks team might have been the easiest team to root for in NBA history. Every guy played with a singular purpose and put it all out on the floor for 48 minutes every night.
Damm always emotional seeinn a grown man cry tears of joy ..congrats champ 🙌🏾
Fuck them picks!!!!
Mikal NEVER MISS A GAME! Bridges.
That’s my boy 🥹
Mikal, Brunson, OG, Josh, Kat, I love these guys, previous rosters were never as likeable as this. The Power of Friendship
Congrats my guy. Sorry it wasn’t with us, but happy for you.
“Book, I did it!”
LFG
Congrats
FUCK THEM PICKS
FUCK THEM PICKS!
FORGET THEM PICKS!
I love this guy and am so happy he got his
My girlfriend’s half brother is related to Mikal and we were able to watch a game together the first time I met her extended family. I’ll always remember this postseason. They deserve this 💙🧡
Haven’t seen this much emotion since Pat Bev won the play in
Dude won’t have to pay for Chipotle in the NY Metro area for the rest of his life.
Happy for Mikal, as much as I’ve clowned him.
Fuck them Picks!!!!
Fuck them picks!
I don’t know if anyone else has said it, but fuck them picks.
FUCK
And I cannot stress this enough…
THEM PICKS
My glorious king. It may not have been on my team, but you deserved this
Fuck them Picks.
From ARDMORE!
!!!!!!!!FUCK THEM PICKS!!!!!!!!!
BROOKLYN TAKE ANOTHER 5 PICKS WHO GIVES A SHIT I AINT SLEPT YET
Are we going to see a bunch of “men” comment on these men crying or no?
Just one racist from Michigan who got downvoted, but that’s it. FTP
He crying over winning a basketball game? Has he never won one before?
You really are a sad cupcake huh?
[removed]
Didn’t know Lake Michigan was so salty lmao
This piston fan could turn the great lakes in Michigan salty with all his tears.
The most you’ve ever amounted to is probably this comment which says a lot
