Miles Bridges.
His name alone has been heard in Phoenix for years. It seems that every time the Phoenix Suns would play a nationally televised game prior to Feb. 9, 2023, we heard it. Announcers from ESPN and TNT would with regularity say, “Miles Bridges” instead of “Mikal Bridges”. I guess it comes with the territory. Facepalm.
Phoenix traded away Mikal, gaining Kevin Durant in return, and it was the last time we thought we’d hear that name linked to the Suns again. At least until 2026, when Bridges would become a free agent and we would take to the Twitter-sphere and Bright Side message boards to express the reasons why and how to re-obtain the Bridges we love.
