Bridges’ odd Instagram live sparks laughs after Knicks’ title win
New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges drew attention for a strange Instagram live session after the team’s NBA championship celebration began. The Knicks secured their first NBA title since 1973 this week, beating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals under coach Mike Brown and led by Jalen Brunson.
The championship parade in New York is set for Thursday, with hundreds of thousands of fans expected to line the streets. But the festivities appear to have started earlier, at least for Bridges, who seemed to be enjoying the moment a little too much.
During the live broadcast, Brunson reacted publicly on X, writing, “Somebody take Mikal’s phone.” Screenshots and clips circulating online suggested Bridges was saying unusual things on camera, including one remark aimed at Brunson that drew a “NSFW” label from fans. Another post referenced an apparent joke about a “10 weeks no sex rule” attributed to Dolan.
The clips quickly spread on social media as the Knicks’ title celebrations continued. The article does not say whether Bridges later deleted the live or issued any explanation.
