The only other player in NBA history to reach this milestone is LeBron James during his dominant playoff run in 2017.

This remarkable achievement quickly gained attention, catching the eye of die-hard Knicks fan and Hollywood actor Ben Stiller, who enthusiastically quote-tweeted the stat with a definitive three-word response: “Worth every bit.”

This historic surge validates the significant haul of first-round draft picks that New York traded away to acquire Bridges.

As noted by Howie Kussoy of the NY Post, Bridges has experienced a remarkable turnaround.

After struggling in his first five playoff appearances, averaging just 7.2 points on 43.8% shooting, Bridges has exploded in his last seven games, averaging 18.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and an astonishing 68.3% shooting percentage from the field, bringing New York closer to the NBA Finals.
