Chapter 2: What insights does Mikal Bridges share about winning an NBA championship?
But, you know, it was really about a pretty like halfway through is where it started to click for me. I felt myself getting stronger from myself, getting better where I was just like, OK, this is the best day for me. But in the beginning, It was tough. I was, you know, I was upset and everything just because I couldn't play. I got to sit out a whole year.
But obviously, grand scheme of things was the best thing that ever happened. And I learned patience. I just learned to switch your time. And I just learned just workout habits, like how to how to be a person to stay in a gym, how to want to be in a gym and all those things. So I was just very grateful for that.
We're talking to Mikael Bridges, the Knicks forward, NBA champ. Is Spike Lee going to get a championship ring? He should, for sure. Okay, how many of these rings do you think that James Dolan is going to be handing out? A lot. Patrick Ewing get one? Of course. Tracy Morgan? Yeah, everybody. I'm going to say yes to everybody. Timothee Chalamet, he gets one. Okay, does Kylie Jenner get one? No.
yeah okay all right you're really generous with your your owner's money um take me back when james dolan addressed the team prior to the playoffs like he gave you guys his speech yeah um it was great because you get kind of you know you talked to us before but i know it seemed like him coming over here was getting outside his comfort zone a little bit um
So I think he's pretty sure, you know, that's why he has Leon, hired Leon, you know, get our coaches and let them kind of talk to the team. Like that's kind of like the players and the coaches, the GM, you know, over there. And obviously he'll say his words when he sees us. But I think he got out of his comfort zone.
For the Packs, pretty much that whole year, because even in the preseason, he had a speech. He talked to us when he was at dinner as a whole team. It was really cool to see, you know, and I appreciate him so much for that. And I gave him compliments both times, just like, you know, I love his speech. And you can tell I'm a guy that don't love public speaking that much. And I think he's fine.
But I could tell that it was a little bit outside his comfort zone. And I just appreciate him for that because he didn't have to. You know what I'm saying? He didn't have to, but he did that because he truly believed and he truly wanted to win for the city. And, you know, that's really good for him.
What did you save from Game 5? What did I say? Uniform. What are you keeping from winning?
Oh, yeah, everything. I put everything in a mesh bag. Got my sneakers, got the goggles, hat, jerseys. Damn near tights and socks, too.

Chapter 3: How does Mikal Bridges feel about the celebration after the finals?
Poor LeBradford Smith. He'd probably say, hey, Mike, nice game. And Mike probably said, oh, I just had a nice game? Oh, okay, I'm going to show you a great game. Yeah, deal. If that was anyone other than Michael Jordan, it would be like a confirmed case of mental illness, I think. But it worked out. It worked out. Mike, to be around that, to see that, and even to talk to his teammates.
I was friends with Judd Bushler and Steve Kerr, and they were like, you never want the look. You never want Mike to give you the look. Because that means if you missed a shot, you're not getting the ball. Mike would give you the look. And these guys talked about how... You know, as if it was a horror movie, like Freddy Krueger, you do not want Mike to give you the look. Yes, Marv?
Talk about him like he was their dad. Daddy. Who's your daddy? All right, let me take a break.
Chapter 4: What strategies did Mikal Bridges use to overcome challenges during the finals?
I've got a lot of phone calls to get to, and we'll decide on a poll question for the final hour of the program. I was seeing some of the clips on McHale Bridges, I think on Instagram, and there were people saying, please take his phone away from him because he was in his cups, as the kids like to say. He looked like he had been on one. Or two or three. Yeah, wait till Thursday.
Wait till Thursday. All right, take a break. Back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsportsradio.com. And within the iHeartRadio app, search FSR to listen live.
I love the sounds. The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place. Soccer. Football. It's home.
Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe? I inherited that fandom from my mom.
I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture.
I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull.
It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though.

Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow Armstrong homered to lead off the game last night, tripled in the third inning, doubled in the fifth, singled in the seventh. and he's the first player this year to hit for the cycle, and then he got picked off first base. And that's happened before, but it was back in the 1940s that might have been Joe Cronin for some reason comes to mind. Yeah, Paulie?

Chapter 6: What were the memorable moments from the NBA finals according to Mikal Bridges?
And you had success because of that. It's like Cleveland Browns. You got an owner who medals. Step to the side and let these people that you brought in not have to look over their shoulders constantly. But James Dolan... Who would have thought? He wasn't just considered the worst in the NBA. He was considered one of the worst owners of all time in any of these sports. Yeah, Paul.
I can look back at my notes. We've had segments on this show before, four, five, six years ago. If one fan base could remove an owner to help their team win, and he would win it.
And just so you know, Fritzie reaches out to everybody. So when somebody says, oh, would you have Brendan Sorsby on? Yeah, we've been reaching out. Would you have James Dolan on? Yes, I would. He doesn't do interviews. I think Craig Carton got him recently and good for Craig. But, you know, James Dolan, things are going well. You know, now you do want to be interviewed, I think.
Now, I don't know if he's ready for 60 minutes, but I do think that you want to have something positive to talk about. And he even apologized. He said, I'm sorry that it took this long. Yeah, Dylan. Yeah, and he also, I mean, Madison Square Garden Corporation owns the Rangers, too. So it's not like it's been like he's had another team that's had success recently to slough some of that off on.
Yeah. Yes, Marvin. It's amazing what happens when you hire the right people. Yes. Leon Rose is going to be looked at like the way we look at Theo Epstein. Yeah. The guy that put the team together that ended the drought. It's a great point. Yeah. And he doesn't do interviews. He's a former agent. Yeah, Paulie.
And we've talked about that. You said it 100 times. If you're an owner, why not share some credit? You'd rather get half credit for a title than 100% credit for a failure.
No, 100% blame for no title. It's like share the wealth. Share. Let's see. Calvin in New York. Hi, Calvin. What do you have for me? Hey, Pat. So real quick, two things. One is the owner, if he's such a great guy, then he needs to make amends with Oakley. because Oakley is an important part of that history. Second, Cape Verde should not be a new thing to you.
Two well-known names that you've said for years and didn't know it, Wayne Fonts and Tony Gonzalez. They're both from Cape Verde? They're family, yeah. Oh, well, never knew. You should have known that. I should have. Wayne Fonce and Cape Verde? Calvin, and it's Dan, not Pat. So if you're going to critique me for not knowing about Wayne Fonce and Tony Gonzalez, then at least get my name right.
Yes, Dylan. While we're going international, I actually do have some Algerian coaching news. Okay. From 2024. Oh. They did part ways with their coach after a loss in the Africa Cup of Nations finals. So I see where the confusion was. Yeah. I don't know why. Like, I saw this headline. Algeria replaces their coach. And I go, wait, they just played one match. Gary in Hawaii. Hi, Gary.
