The Charlotte Hornets have been impressive lately, as they have had many good performances across the board. This includes Miles Bridges, who just became the third-highest scorer in franchise history.
After the Hornets' impressive win against the Denver Nuggets, Bridges made sure to address his newest achievement. It shows his excellence over the years with a franchise he's been loyal to.
Bridges remains loyal to the Hornets
Bridges has been playing for the Hornets since the 2018-19 season. He has grown from being a bright-eyed rookie into being the most tenured veteran for the franchise.
He has been a consistent figure on the roster. He has gone through all types of roster changes, but he has remained loyal to the team. Bridges and LaMelo Ball are now the longest-tenured players on the roster.

Considering that he has been with the Hornets for almost a decade, Bridges has the numbers to show for it. The Hornets are a relatively young franchise, so Bridges is already high on their record books.
He is now the third-best scorer in franchise history, which is an honor that he relishes. Bridges has an immense amount of love for the Hornets franchise, and he wants to keep going.
"It means a lot. It just shows the loyalty between both sides, between the organization and me, because they could have given up on me, but they never did. So I want to show my loyalty back and bring more wins here," Bridges said after the Hornets' win against the Nuggets.
It has not been the best season for the Hornets, but they have the potential to make an impression. Bridges can support the trio of Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel. This is a promising roster, but this season might be too early to mount a postseason run.
