Miles Bridges showed up at the Moneyball Pro-Am on Thursday and put on quite the show for Michigan State basketball fans.

The first time Miles Bridges stepped on the court for the Moneyball Pro-Am, everyone in attendance watched in awe with their jaws on the ground.

The former Michigan State basketball star was putting on a show every offseason and making fans dream of the Flint-native hoisting the national title trophy after superstar-ing his way through the NCAA Tournament, Magic Johnson-style.

While that never happened, he still left Spartan fans with plenty of memories, including highlights to look back at and reminisce over. He truly was one of those once-in-a-generation athletes and every time he laced up the sneakers, he was a candidate to put on a show.

And he did just that on Thursday night in the opener of the Moneyball Pro-Am.

You might be wondering why he played in the Moneyball tourney if he’s no longer in college and it’s because many former Spartans decide to come back and participate — hence the term “Pro-Am”.

This will likely be Bridges’ only appearance, thought, as he will be reporting to the NBA Summer League for the Hornets in the coming weeks but he still got to show off his high-flying skills and make some new fans in the process — he always exhibits his humbleness before and after games, taking pictures and signing autographs for fans.

If this didn’t make Michigan State fans miss Bridges and his ever-exciting style of play and in-game dunks, I don’t know what will.
