Mikal Bridges Gets Honest On Becoming HI...

Wave Originals
About this episode

In this week's episode of Podcast P, we’re back recording from the Smoove's Hair Gallery Barbershop in Las Vegas, where we’re joined by Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges. During our conversation, we revisit his Draft day experience of being traded away from his hometown team and why he was surprised by the speed of play in Summer League. Mikal also sheds light on his big trade to the Nets for Kevin Durant, and discusses his growth from 3 and D player to the leader of a team. Then Mikal gets honest about Ben Simmons, sharing updates about his health, why Ben has been such a great teammate, and why he has faith in Ben next season. Finally, Mikal and PG explain what it means to play for Team USA, and end things off with a Starting 5: Rising Stars.
