MIKAL BRIDGES grew up in Philadelphia watching ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER hoop for his hometown Sixers. Now, he’s joining Point Forward’s co-hosts to walk them through how that local middle schooler became a rising star for the Brooklyn Nets. Mikal goes deep on his journey, including: Leading Villanova to two national championships; helping morph the Phoenix Suns into a contender; what he learned from Devin Booker and Chris Paul; his relationship with Deandre Ayton and their viral on-court verbal exchange earlier this season; and his new role as the face of the Brooklyn Nets. Additionally, Mikal opens up about both his aspirations (becoming an All-Star) and his challenges (draft night disappointment). This is a rare opportunity to really get to know a guy who is more inclined to just let his game do the talking. 

Plus, before sitting down with Mikal, Andre and Evan share their thoughts on the NBA Play-In, go deeper on the Second Son Theory, and recap how the Masters went for Andre (and for the golfers).
