https://youtu.be/CyvDoD7W9a4 Not only is 27 points Mikal Bridges playoff career high, a statistic that perhaps lacks impact given that this playoffs is the first ‘offs of his career, but 27 points is also the second most points that Bridges has scored in ANY an NBA game. Now THERE’S a stat which drives home the impact…

Mikal Bridges 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (6/7/2021)
https://youtu.be/grju22di-Os Ever since the first primitive sporting contest where a caveman named Gorg threw a rock between two tree trunks, mankind has recorded and analyzed statistics for his sports. It’s simply in our nature to keep track of stats for any pursuit where later analysis of those stats could be useful, and even for pursuits…

https://youtu.be/Pe1Mz0ImmbY I don’t blame Pacers fans right now if they’re feeling saltier than the Dead Sea after their team got their collective booty handed to them by Mikal Bridges. It’s one thing to have your rear end served to you on a silver platter by a player like, say, Devin Booker. It sucks, but it’s…

Remember when Mikal Bridges, who grew up and played high school and college ball in the Philadelphia area, was drafted by the 76ers, the NBA franchise based in Philadelphia? And not only was he drafted by the team from Philly, but he was drafted by the team that employed his own mother as a team…

To this point, Mikal Bridges has not been shooting very well in The Bubb. Before this game, he was at just under 40 percent from the field and 22 percent from three. But, as Suns fans will happily tell you, what he does on offense doesn’t really matter because he’s the best defender in the…

Mikal Bridges played almost 43 minutes in this one. I, as a Bucks fan, am not saying that in a butthurt attempt to make his point total look worse. I’m just noting that in order to illustrate the fact that the Suns’ coaching staff likes him enough to play him almost an entire game like…

Don’t look now (actually do look now, I want people to watch this vid), but Mikal Bridges has turned himself into a totally reasonable role-playing starter in the NBA! Aren’t you excited? Why aren’t you excited? Ignore the fact that I, lover of all things role-player and scrub, am not excited at all. That’s my…

It is indicative of the level of trauma that I have endured at the hands of the Suns commentators that I still cringe whenever one of their players makes a three, bracing myself for the “Proud to own the three-point zone, Fulton Homes donates one-hundred dollars to Suns charities.” that used to be omnipresent. Even…

The Celtics may have had Marcus Smart and his 11 threes and his career-high 37 points, but it was no match for Phoenix’s Mikal Bridges and his 6 threes and his career-high 26 points. There may have been other factors at play (I’m looking at the box-score and apparently Bridges was only tied for second…

Last year, I viewed the “battle of the Bridges” (Mikal Bridges vs. Miles Bridges) to be pretty much a wash. Both of them were playing a medium-sized role as rookies on not-very-good teams, and both of them did a decent job of being productive right away in the NBA. However, Miles has pulled away from…
