Miles Bridges recently fired back at Austin Rivers' remarks on the current Charlotte Hornets roster. Rivers didn't mince his words and said that LaMelo Ball needs to find better teammates. Rivers criticized the Hornets and labeled them as "troubled youth". Bridges was obviously not a fan of Rivers' statements and called him out on social media.

“Y'all hoopers get on these podcast and talk like y'all really like that,” he wrote on SnapChat. “Speaking on other teams like y'all know what's going on and most the people talking the most sh*t don't play at all. We gone see about all that this year on me.”

Austin Rivers saw Miles Bridges' comments and humorously responded to the Hornets star. Rivers jokingly said that Bridges' call-out isn't about him, considering how Miles described someone who doesn't play in the NBA. The free agent then brought up the same sentiments he had last time about LaMelo Ball needing better teammates to make an impact.

"Nah this can’t be about me. I’ve gotten good minutes on every team I have played on, with exception of last year. Situation matters..and I stand by what I said about Melo..straight up! He needs pieces around him with high character. Stop worrying about me and go be one again"

Is Miles Bridges good enough to be LaMelo Ball's teammate?
