This is easily one of the coolest things in my life. The Knicks know who I am. Thank you @Roommates__Show and Isaiah Hartenstein for answering my question! π
Mikal Bridges made the NBA Finals 5 years ago. Was 2 wins away from a title and came up short.
He has been criticized for the picks that were traded to get him. He has had ups and downs in New York. Now he is a champion. Super happy for him.
Thank you guys to everybody who supported me and my Fireside Knicks content throughout the season. This was a life changing season for me on a personal level and I wouldnβt have been able to provide content if it werenβt for you guys.
Thank you π§‘π
Watch this entire interview. They doubted him for years. Said he was too small to lead a team. Even entering the series, he was doubted.
And now, he has prevailed.
Becky Hammon: [The Knicks] don't have a dude... you got to have a 1A dude."
Kendrick Perkins: "They do have that dude."
B: "Who?"
K: "Jalen Brunson."
B: "He too small. If your best player is small, you're not winning... Steph Curry is the only dude."
