Watch former Spartan Miles Bridges throw down a monster slam dunk against former Wolverine Mo Wagner

Former Michigan State Spartans basketball star Miles Bridges has done it again — this time with a vicious dunk on former Wolverine Mo Wagner.

Bridges threw down an incredible dunk in Thursday’s Charlotte Hornets’ win over the Orlando Magic. On the play, Wagner appears to come over to make a defensive play but stood no chance at stopping Bridges.

Watch the vicious dunk from Bridges in the highlight below:

Bridges finished the game with 13 points and 6 rebounds. He has had arguably the best year of his NBA career this season and has helped Charlotte reach the playoffs again this year.

On Wednesday night, the Charlotte Hornets and former Spartan Miles Bridges faced off against the Philadelphia 76ers, new home of former Piston Andre Drummond.

At one point, Bridges had a layup disrupted by Joel Embiid, but kept with it, and went back up for a huge slam on Andre Drummond.

WATCH: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith crowns Miles Bridges as the New NBA Dunk King

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith has crowned Miles Bridges as the NBA’s new dunk king.

Miles Bridges has been throwing down insane dunks since high school, but this year with the Charlotte Hornets, he has been attacking the rim like it hurt his family. It seems like every game that passes, Bridges puts up another dunk that would easily be dunk of the year any other season.

Bridges’ efforts have earned him a new moniker, courtesy of ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith: NBA Dunk King.

Smith labeled Bridges the new NBA Dunk King on his program Stephen A’s World.

WATCH: DeAndre Jordan makes business decision, backs away from two-handed Miles Bridges slam

DeAndre Jordan decided not to contest another rim-shattering dunk from Miles Bridges.

Miles Bridges has managed to make a name for himself and increase his profile around the NBA this season with some insane in-game dunks. It seems like other players are starting to take note. On Friday, DeAndre Jordan of the Brooklyn Nets decided to make a ‘business decision’ while playing the Charlotte Hornets, and chose not to contest a wild two-handed slam from Miles Bridges.

Bridges had 20 points in the half as he continues to flourish in a starting role that was opened up on the Hornets due to an injury to Gordon Hayward.

WATCH: Miles Bridges puts Clint Capela on a poster with a dunk of the year finalist

Miles Bridges may have had his best dunk ever on Sunday with a monster slam on Clint Capela.

This has been the year of Miles Bridges dunk highlights. The former Spartan didn’t participate in the dunk contest this year, but he has still been showing off all season with some of the craziest dunks I’ve ever seen.

On Sunday against the Hawks, he might have gotten his best in-game dunk ever. In a game where Bridges led the Hornets with 23 points, he put Hawks center Clint Capela on a poster with a thunderous one-handed slam. Bridges put the extension all the way back for one of the most disrespectful, impressive dunks I think I’ve ever seen.

Watch it below:

Tonight, Bridges and LaMelo started against the Philadelphia 76ers and they linked up for yet another highlight against the Sixers.

Former MSU Basketball star Miles Bridges wins NBA Rising Stars MVP Award

Former MSU Basketball star and current Charlotte Hornets wing Miles Bridges won the NBA Rising Stars MVP tonight with 20 points, 5 rebounds.

In a game that featured big names like Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, and Ja Morant, it was former MSU Basketball star and current Charlotte Hornets breakout young wing Miles Bridges who won the NBA Rising Stars MVP Award tonight. The Rising Stars game is played each All-Star Weekend and features the best young players the league has to offer.

Bridges had 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5ย  assists on the night, but it might have been his insane dunk off the glass that made him stand out.from the other players.

Jaren Jackson Jr. was also present in the lineup and finished with 12 points and 7 assists.

Team USA was able to beat Team World in what is a largely fun and non-competitive exhibition, but it was still awesome to see two former Spartans showing off on a big stage. Both players were on the court with the best young players in the league and they both stood out as stars. This was a great night for Spartan basketball to watch two of the best NBA prospects the team has produced shine.

WATCH: Miles Bridges’ crazy off the glass self alley-oop dunk in NBA Rising Stars Game

Former Michigan State star Miles Bridges had an absolutely insane self alley-oop off the glass tonight in the Rising Stars game.

Michigan State Basketball has two former star players currently playing in the NBA Rising Stars Game. Jaren Jackson Jr., now of the Memphis Grizzlies was there with his teammate Ja Morant (and Brandon Clarke, who was on Team World). Miles Bridges was the second Spartan in attendance he was joined by his fellow Charlotte Hornets teammates PJ Washington and Devonte Graham. Miles Bridges might have had the highlight of the night with a crazy self alley-oop, off the glass to himself.

You can watch the clip in all of its glory below:

And here is one more angle for good measure:

On top of the crazy dunk, Bridges had a very nice night, particularly in the third quarter. He ended up with 20 points, good for second on Team USA. Jackson, to his credit, had 12 points on the night.

Based on the way both guys have been playing, they might be in the All-Star game someday instead of just the Rising Stars game.

Ah yes, that is beautiful. You can watch as Miles goes up and over the Memphis Grizzlies center Valanciunas. I’m not sure but I think Miles Bridges has some type of spring system in his legs. It’s still unclear how he does these things.
