Michigan State basketball star sophomore Miles Bridges slammed a Michigan troll on NBA Draft night Thursday.

Miles Bridges sat down to watch the 2017 NBA Draft on Thursday night purely as a spectator even though many thought he’d be in New York just a few short months ago.

Well, the soon-to-be sophomore sensation decided to forgo the draft after his freshman season for another year in the green and white. He wanted to cement a better legacy for himself at Michigan State than just a 15-loss year and second-round loss in the NCAA Tournament.

Still, Michigan fans are giving him grief over his decision to stay.

In fact, on Thursday night, one fan tried to troll Bridges with a “he’s probably sad watching the draft tonight” tweet. Unfortunately, it backfired.

Admittedly, this is a solid burn. Bridges was probably watching the weak draft, realizing he could have been a top-10 pick, easily. However, he decided to stay at MSU and further his legacy in the green and white. Not a bad choice either way.

However, Bridges didn’t take too kindly to the troll job from the Michigan fan, answering back with a short, but sweet, jab.

Don’t expect to subtweet Miles on Twitter and think you’ll get away without any harm. Not only did Bridges shoot the troll down, but he likely flooded his mentions with angry Michigan State fans, which is punishment enough.

There’s a good chance Bridges is a top-10 pick next year and some mock drafts even have him going as high as No. 5. Either way, Bridges’ anti-troll game is strong.
