'F--k Them Picks' Mikal Bridges Shirt to Be Made After Knicks Win NBA Title, Dad Reveals to Insider
New York Knicks star Mikal Bridges is taking a page from the book of Los Angeles Rams general manger Les Snead as he celebrates the team's NBA title.
At the 7:49 mark in the post-Game 5 edition of the Hoop Collective podcast, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reported a group of fans were chanting "f--k them picks" in Bridges' direction. His dad confirmed to MacMahon the family is getting shirts made with that phrase.

Snead popularized this tactic when he wore a custom T-shirt during the Rams' Super Bowl parade. The championship was the validation of his tendency to give up valuable draft capital for proven stars.
That's what the Knicks did in July 2024 when they sent five first-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Bridges. He proved to be a key supporting contributor behind their impressive playoff run this summer.
