Mikal Bridges can’t wait to be Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks iron man
NY Post
GWhat happens when the NBA’s iron man collides with the anti-load management coach?
Mikal Bridges is excited to find out.
“Who doesn’t want to play all the time?” Bridges said Tuesday in his introductory press conference at the Knicks training facility. “Just who [Tom Thibodeau] is, how he embodies and how structured he is, that’s what I came from: That’s high school, college, and with coach Monty [Williams in Phoenix] as well.”
Playing a lot is nothing new to Bridges.
He noted Saturday how in Phoenix, a championship contender at the time, the two-way wing once logged 50 minutes while “sick as a bat” and chasing Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox.
“I was on a frickin’ chair after we won, laid out,” Bridges said, “and I think Monty didn’t think I was sick either, and he was like, ‘Look at him. That’s what we do.’ I’m like, ‘Let’s just get on this damn plane.’ ”
