Mikal Bridges Sparks Odd Instagram Live After Knicks' Championship Win
The New York Knicks are celebrating a historic NBA title, their first since 1973, after defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals under head coach Mike Brown and led by Jalen Brunson. The championship parade in New York City is set for Thursday, but the celebrations apparently started well before then.
One of the most talked-about moments came from Knicks star Mikal Bridges, who opened a live Instagram broadcast and appeared to enjoy the title celebrations a little too much. The stream drew attention online for its strange tone and comments, prompting reaction from teammates and fans alike.
Brunson responded publicly on social media with a joking plea, writing, "Somebody take Mikal’s phone." The post was widely shared as fans reacted to Bridges’ unusual behavior during the live session.
The article does not say whether Bridges was disciplined or whether the Knicks addressed the incident further. For now, the focus remains on the team’s long-awaited title and the parade expected to draw hundreds of thousands of fans.
