New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges says he will “never forget” a Kendrick Lamar album for helping him through a difficult period. According to reports, Bridges shared the comments during an Instagram Live session, offering fans a rare look at his personal interests and what has influenced him. Billboard and Yahoo Sports both describe the moment as Bridges discussing how the music provided support during a tough time, framing the album as something he will carry with him. The coverage focuses on his statement and the context in which he made it—an informal, direct interaction with viewers on social media—rather than on specific career or team details. Both outlets present the same core claim: that a particular Kendrick Lamar record mattered to Bridges personally, and he credits it with getting him through a challenging stretch. The reporting does not indicate any additional commentary from Bridges beyond his broader message about the album’s impact.
