The talented basketball player went viral during a loss to the Atlanta Hawks after he chucked his mouth guard at a heckling fan. However, he didn’t hit the fan he intended to. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Instead, he smoked an innocent girl in the stands. Now, he’s learned his fate.

If you play stupid games, you’re going to win stupid prizes. Chucking your mouth guard into the stands is about as stupid as it gets.
He made a very poor choice, and Bridges now has to pay the price. That’s the way the world works when you’re an adult.

Now, will $50,000 break the bank for an NBA player? Of course not, but hopefully, it forces him to think about his actions because they were 100% unacceptable.
Miles Bridges popped that little girl in the head with his mouthpiece & she didn’t even flinch. Boss.

Next time, he should learn how to keep his temper in check instead of hitting a girl with his mouth guard!
