00:00And all you hear about is all these picks.
00:02They gave up all these picks for him.
00:03All these picks.
00:04How could they do this?
00:06But all along, Leon Rose, who has been the architect of this team
00:09and has built the Knicks up to where they are now a title contender
00:13year in and year out, Rose believed in this player.
00:16He believed that Mikkel Bridges was the guy that we saw in Phoenix,
00:19was the guy that we all saw early in his run with the Nets.
00:24And that's why he gave up all those picks.
00:26Because he, like myself, believed that Mikkel Bridges was the final Infinity Stone.
00:34And over the last three games in big spots in the playoffs,
00:38Mikkel Bridges is finally becoming the final Infinity Stone.
00:43Both defensively, he was awesome, awesome tonight.
00:46Locking up Maxie, locking up this Philly team that couldn't buy a bucket
00:51in the fourth quarter.
00:52And he was just a crazy maniac out there on defense.
00:57And then offensively, which has been a struggle for him in his Knick career,
01:01when you look at the last three games, now what, 17 points, 18 points, 24 points,
01:04he is getting it done, Mikkel Bridges, on both ends of the floor.
01:09He has a lot of critics.
01:11He has a lot of detractors.
01:13He has a lot of people that won't let it go how many picks were given up for him.
01:20But we know why they were giving up for him.
01:23Because he can be that great two-way player.
01:27And the perfect complement, dare I say, final Infinity Stone for the Knicks.
01:33And he is ultimately, at this stage, in the last three games,
01:38he is realizing that potential.
01:40And he is silencing all his critics, all his doubters, all of his naysayers,
01:46because he has been absolutely awesome, awesome, over the last couple games.
