কাট খেয়েছিল, কিন্তু স্ট্রিটবলার হটট?

He Got Cut—But the Court Never Did

আমি দেখেছি, ড্রাফট নাইটে সেই ‘কাট’—শুধুমা ‘ওয়াইভার’-এর ‘নাম’। But here’s what they didn’t tell you: Miles Bridges didn’t just fade out—he evolved.

He wasn’t drafted to be a star. He was drafted to be real. 20.3 points, 7.5 rebounds—no ESPN highlight, no Nike ad, just a cracked court in Englewood with three guys, a bucket, and a beat that never quit.

The Gym That Didn’t Sell

আমি remember nights when the heat hit hard—the kind of silence where nobody saw you unless you were dribbling through rain at 2 a.m., still shooting after your last free throw.

The Hornets didn’t see his game because they were looking for ‘potential’—a hype word wrapped in college jerseys and TikTok clips.

But streetball don’t care about ‘potential’. It cares about grit.

You’re Not Rooted in Talent—you’re Rooted in Grit

They traded his jersey… but not his soul.

I’ve posted his late-night highlights on our Discord server: #EnglewoodGrit . You think NBA scouts know talent? Nah. They know who stayed when the lights went out—and kept shooting anyway. So ask yourself: Who do you really root for? The guy with the scholarship… or the one still dribbling at midnight? Drop your childhood court photo below.
