Why Mikal Bridges should adjust to Knicks role quickly
NY Post
It won’t take much adjusting for Mikal Bridges to get used to his new role with the Knicks.
It will be similar to the one he had at Villanova, with the Suns and even recently Team USA basketball.
If anything, being a go-to guy with the Nets was more out of the ordinary for the talented two-way wing.
“I think it’s not going to be that hard honestly,” Bridges said this week, as he was introduced as the newest Knick. “I think it’s just knowing the brand we play here, and playing the right way is who I am. It’s like a natural thing. It’s kind of like going to [Team] USA, kind of the same thing where obviously, going to USA last year, the role’s going to change.”
The 6-foot-6 Bridges has excelled as a secondary offensive option from his time at Villanova until now, as someone who can score big when called upon, but wasn’t leaned on to be that guy every night.
On a Knicks team with Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and OG Anunoby, he won’t be asked to do that.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
