Mikal Bridges is now officially a member of the New York Knicks, which gives him a chance to play for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
It also gives him a chance to join forces with three of his college friends: Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo.
In a recent interview shared by Big Knick Energy, Bridges spoke about playing with his old pals.
Noting how excited he is to be with the Knicks, he said he’s ready to be with Brunson, Hart, and DiVincenzo because he knows “how to play off every single one of them.”

Bridges has great chemistry with these three players because they spent time together in college at Villanova.
Since then, all four players have gone in different directions throughout the NBA but they are all coming back together at the perfect time.
The Knicks found great success last season, scoring a 50-32 record and ending as the second-best team in the East.
Fans are expecting great things from the team in the new season and many people believe that they might be the biggest challengers to the Boston Celtics.
Bridges should only help their chances of taking down the reigning champions but he admitted that there may be an adjustment period.
He will have to join the squad, learn how to fit into the rotations and plans they have, and provide as much as he can.
His addition should be a big boost to an already-promising team but Bridges knows that they may need some time to reach their full potential.
