Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges may love Chipotle a little too much.
Bridges made a recent appearance on GQ’s “10 Things” series where celebrities reveal 10 items they can’t live without.
The Nets star’s sixth item on his list was a rice bowl from Chipotle. He then added that he’s eaten food from the Mexican food restaurant every day for the last 10 years.
“I eat [Chipotle] every day since 2013-14, so about 10 years. Still been on it heavy to this day,” admitted Bridges. “I have friends and family that tease me a little bit about it. It’s too fire to not have it every single time. They don’t disappoint.”
Bridges even revealed his ideal rice bowl combination: white rice, no beans, double chicken, medium and mild salsa, corn and lettuce.
Under normal circumstances, an NBA athlete eating nonstop from a chain restaurant would probably draw criticism from fans.
However, Bridges is the last player worth criticizing about staying in shape. The Nets wing has yet to miss a game in his professional career. His streak has spanned over 400 games across six NBA seasons. The Villanova product is widely considered the NBA’s new ironman, taking the mantle from Los Angeles Lakers forward A.C. Green.
The Nets did employ a sneaky tactic to extend Bridges’ streak during their final game last season. But Bridges also ended up playing 83 games during the 2022-23 campaign, so there’s arguably some buffer to justify the team’s chicanery.
