#NBA 2026 Champion and #Knicks star Mikal Bridges credited Kendrick Lamar’s album "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers", specifically the track "Count Me Out," for helping him overcome severe depression following a crushing 2022 playoff loss while playing for the Phoenix Suns.

“Let me let you know, let me be honest about this song, about this album, if y’all can hear me right now over this music,” he said “I was really depressed, bro. We lost to Dallas, I was in Phoenix, I was f—in’ depressed, bro. This album came out. I was just liftin’ bi’s and tri’s, chest, and that sh– got me through it. I love this f—in’ album, for real. I will never forget this album. Ever.”

He then continued to vibe and rap along to the chorus as Lamar rapped, “I love when you count me out.”

Music save us! ❤️
