The fun did not stop for the New York Knicks after a Christmas Day win against the Cleveland Cavaliers

After the Knicks' miraculous fourth-quarter comeback, Mikal Bridges gifted each of his teammates a new Rolex for Christmas.

In September, Josh Hart had $185,000 worth of watches and jewelry stolen from his room at the Dominick Hotel. He showed his gratitude for Bridges' present by flexing his new watch on Instagram. 

Bridges' gifts for his teammates help him show his appreciation for the hard work they've done this season. Thirty games into the season, the Knicks are 21-9 and in second place in the Eastern Conference. They defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Cup championship a little over a week ago. 

Bridges spared no expense for the watches 

According to Jayesh Pagar of Sports Illustrated, each of the Rolex watches Bridges gave to his teammates is worth around $15,000 each. 

Luckily for Bridges, he signed a $150 million contract extension with the Knicks this past July, so his pockets may not be hurting after the purchases. 

He had 12 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field, and added four assists and three rebounds in 36 minutes in the 126-124 win against the Cavaliers.
