  1. Feels bad for Mikal
    His views are so low compared to Wemby
    As of now Wemby almost ten thousand views
    Mikal struggle to get 1k views

  2. Mitchell Robinson is the missing piece. Rim protection and rebounding. We are performing though. I think I prefer this current team over the Villanova Knicks. Merry Christmas!

  3. Everybody that turned on Mikal 7 games into the season owes this man an apology. Regular season is a marathon, not a sprint

  4. MY MAN BRIDGES! Suns fans will never forget you 😀 Someone has to keep the mid-range game alive in the joke of a basketball league today's NBA is…

  5. Mikal Bridges absolutely showing the Knicks fans today he still got the shooting stroke
    yep Knicks fans should apologize to him

  6. He’s really thriving for New York now. Once he got used to playing with his team, that was all he needed to showcase his True value.

  7. Bra he was postin up eb maybe if harrison barnes could actually do something for once we wouldn’t have lost by 3. Respect to da knicks doe eb onnat roster can put up buckets
