Former Michigan State basketball star Miles Bridges has always had to keep his opinion to Dan Dakich to himself, but not anymore.

For two years, Miles Bridges has had to bite his tongue regarding one person. The former Michigan State star had been the subject of plenty of Dan Dakich hate, whether the ESPN personality wants to admit it or not, and he always smiled and moved forward.

Dakich would always say, “Bridges has no game,” which would rile the masses.

Michigan State fans rushed to Miles’ defense and called Dakich out left and right, but all Bridges could do was act like the opinion didn’t bother him and continue to play basketball for the Big Ten champion Spartans.

Bridges wasn’t the only former Big Ten player to be the subject of Dakich’s strong opinions with little to no backing as Wisconsin legend Frank Kaminsky, too, had been called out by the ESPN analyst before. Now, the two former college stars play for the Charlotte Hornets together.

On Tuesday night, Dakich posted a tweet about the Hornets’ recent box score and said something to the effect of “I hate being right so much” and it was a picture of Kaminsky not scoring a point in four minutes and Bridges scoring just three in 11. To whom he was referencing remains unclear (it could have been both players), but Bridges wasted no time in calling him out after Kaminsky did.

Miles did not hold back, and it was glorious. Obviously he was off on Dan’s age because he’s over 50 and his followers were sure to let him know and Miles had this reply:

Earlier in the night, Kaminsky sent out a tweet about the commentators on the call for Tuesday night’s Michigan State vs. Wisconsin game in Madison (Dakich was one of them) and Bridges admitted that he had the game muted when he heard the ESPN analyst’s voice.

Now we know how Miles really feels about the one guy at ESPN who seems to draw the most hate from Michigan State fans.

Apparently it’s warranted displeasure, after all.
