It's a song of love New York???
Welcome to the real NYC team Mikal.
Let's go Knicks🧡💙

[@MikeyMooks]

The defense just got even better. The chemistry is gonna go crazy. DO NOT TRADE MITCH. Him & OG stay healthy then our defense will be top 5 in the league. Excited to see if Jericho will get some consistent minutes off the bench.

[@Barak144]

Defense was already top 5

[@MikeyMooks]

@@Barak144 correct, once we got OG & he stayed healthy. The entire league shifted my man, it’s a new season coming up. Things like top defensive teams don’t overlap from year to year usually. Mikal makes us even better. With our second best player we were a top 10 team in the league. Key to this season is HEALTH. LETS GO KNICKS

[@clutch7548]

Mike Bibby posted Jericho Sims hitting a lot of mid range jumpers. Could buy him some minutes

[@MikeyMooks]

@@clutch7548 he’s insanely athletic. Definitely has shown potential, just needs to earn more of thibbs’ trust which I think he’s more than capable of doing.

[@levy9595]

The defense will definitely be better than top 5 at full strength. We were already pushing to be a top 5 defense, but locking up OG and adding Mikal lends the squad to go out there and potentially be one of if not the single best defensive team in the NBA while also helping the offense and spacing a ton as well. The Knicks were already comfortably in the top 10 in offense and defense last year, and should be far better on both ends now with a returning Julius, full season and training camp of OG, and now massive addition of Bridges. Should be a ton of fun to watch the Knicks who are clearly a legit title contender for the first time in decades

[@trenton9623]

This Young man is Awesome! Intelligent and very Well Spoken, His mom did a Great Job! Can't wait to see you play Mr. Bridges! GO KNICKS!!
