For anyone who casually plays the game of basketball, dunking the ball is something that takes a lot of effort and doesn’t come easy. Heck, some young players attempt to throw down for their entire lives but come up short.
However, for Bridges, it’s easy. He makes it look so effortless that it leaves some people questioning whether or not he’s human.
In the first Moneyball game for his team, Bridges threw down a nice putback slam that got the crowd on its feet. On Thursday night, he delivered with an even better dunk with more on the line.
With his team tied at 83 and time ticking off the clock, Bridges’ teammate stole the ball, ran down the court and attempted a layup, but it was blocked off the backboard. Miles then did what he does best. He trailed the break perfectly and took the blocked shot off the backboard and slammed it in at the buzzer to win, 85-83.
Can this kid be any more impressive? While it’s not exactly the stiffest competition as Moneyball defense is optional, the sophomore sensation is looking the part of a national player of the year candidate.
