Released from the Suns, Mikal Bridges does better than KD and slams unheard of all-time!

Unstoppable in the rotation of Phoenix for more than four seasons, Mikal Bridges was ejected in favor of Kevin Durant. He nevertheless makes sure to take his revenge at the Nets, where he has just signed a madness unprecedented in the history of the league!

By doing business with the Suns at the approach of the trade deadline, they sought above all to satisfy their disgruntled star, whose adventure on the spot seemed doomed to failure. But if they did lose Kevin Durant in the equation, the Nets have nevertheless recovered a very nice package, including Mikal Bridges. Simple role player in Phoenix, the latter asserts himself as a real star in Brooklyn:

Mikal Bridges’ Historic Nets Debut

Already very interesting in a role of lieutenant since the beginning of his NBA career, Bridges has obviously found the perfect environment to take a new step. In a squad devoid of attacking leaders, the 26-year-old winger immediately took on this role, in which he performs wonders. His 26.5 points per game, 52.6% in shooting, 48.1% in 3 points and 92.2% in shots even allow him to write history:

Mikal Bridges is the first player in NBA history to shoot 25 points per game and record 50% shooting, 40% 3-point and 90% free throw skills in his first 10 games with a new team ????

From a purely accounting point of view, “Brooklyn Bridges” therefore signs more significant first steps than KD in the Big Apple… and even than any player, all teams combined!

Note, however, that the Slim Reaper is not left behind on the side of Phoenix. Indeed, if he has so far only been able to play 3 games under his new colors, the double MVP of the Finals runs at 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Not to mention his insolent percentages of 69% shooting, 54% behind the arc and 88% throwing. For now, this exchange is therefore close to a win-win deal!

Arrived without real pressure on the shoulders in Brooklyn, Mikal Bridges is gradually taking on the fabric of a star that he had never been so far with the Suns. His incredible form with the Nets even makes him a unique case in the history of the NBA, however!
