New York Knicks: $91 Million Weapon Relentlessly Trolled For For Changing Shooting Form

The New York Knicks have a shiny new weapon in Mikal Bridges, who landed in Manhattan via a bloc kbuster trade from the Brooklyn Nets and is expected to make loud noises on both ends of the floor for the Knickerbockers.

Bridges has always been known for his defensive prowess, but he can also get the job done on offense.

Just last season, he averaged 19.6 points per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the floor and 37.2 percent from behind the arc with the Brooklyn Nets.

However, there are doubts from Knicks and NBA fans whether the former Villanova Wildcats star can shoot as efficiently, particularly from deep, in the coming season after noticing quite a change in his shooting form.

Mikal Bridges says hes been trying to fix his jump shot for 7 years, per @Krisplashed .

Bridges went 0-for-10 from three yesterday and is 2-for-19 in preseason.

Bridges, who is a career 37.5 percent 3-point shooter, has also admitted to making a change with his shooting form.

Ever since I got into the league, been trying to fix it back to when I was in college, Bridges said, per Stefan Bondy of the New York Post .

So its been seven years of just every day.

New York Knicks, NBA fans cant believe Mikal Bridges new shooting form Until he proves that his new shooting form is effective by, of course, consistently knocking down shots, Bridges can be expected to get trolled by fans.
