Mikal Bridges may be Brooklyn's very own, but his heart will always be in Philly. The former Villanova Wildcat and Philadelphia native had his jersey retired at the Pavilion on Friday night.

Bridges is approaching the prime years of his NBA career, but he was honored as one of the all-time greats under a legendary coach in Jay Wright.
Bridges won the National Championship as a freshman in 2016 (program's first since 1985) and again as a junior in 2018.
Coincidentally, Brooklyn will take on Philadelphia on Sunday night at Barclays Center.
Come Sunday, Bridges will surely cast aside his Philadelphia loyalty and try to deal the Nets Atlantic Division foe only it's fourth loss of the season after a scorching hot 9-3 start.
