[Katz] Mikal Bridges, who has never missed a game in his pro career, on playing for Thibs: “I’ve seen all the jokes.”

  1. If he so much as twists an ankle the basketball ig pages will have an arsenal of content ready.

  2. I mean considering how many injuries the Knicks had in the playoffs I’m not sure I’d call them “jokes.”

  3. Went on to say in that quote that people must’ve not watched him with monty who played him 50 minutes against deaaron fox when he was sick. I didn’t even know that happened lol

  4. Not just the pros – he played every game all 3 years he played at Nova. Last time he missed a game was high school.

  5. If Thibs breaks this guy it will become the ultimate meme and follow Thibs around the rest of his career

  6. This guy is going to break wilt’s record. 48.6 minutes a night for 83 games. Just needs to make the IST final and it’s a lock.

  7. I made a joke asking if Makal can keep his iron man status when Thibs plays him more than his career high of 35.7 minutes per game. Knicks fans pointed out that not a single Knick averaged over 35.7 minutes last season (before the playoffs, when injuries forced Thibs to play guys more minutes, which isn’t Thibs fault).

    The narrative didn’t match reality.

  8. Rumor had it Thibs had reservations about the Bridges signing because he did in fact miss a game in High School.

  9. Isn’t this an insane stat? Any information about other players? Especially the greats?

  10. Imagine they hand out perfect attendance awards at the end of the season. 😂

  11. Straight up – ain’t no way Thibs would still be allowed to be a HC if he was truly grinding players to dust. If anything, it tells me that if I am a backup or low rotation player I’m asking my agent to get me the fuck out as there ain’t no way you’re going to get that shine

  12. Kinda wish he missed a game due to like a stomachache or something earlier because if he gets sick/injured now the overused, lazy Thibs narrative will never go away.
