In the social media world that exists today, many players across sports make “business decisions” at times to ensure they don't become a viral clip. On Monday night, one of those clips came to the light during the Charlotte Hornets – Boston Celtics matchup. All-Star Jaylen Brown rose up for a dunk and slammed it home over a stretched out Miles Bridges. The response by Bridges was perfect.
Also imma jump everytime down 3 in an overtime game or anytime the game on the line!! Helluva play!!

The truth is some would've let Brown rise up with no contention knowing there was a chance they'd become that night's viral moment. Bridges sounds as though he couldn't care less about that which is what every coach should want in their players. Bridges has had his own viral dunks with the Hornets so he knows the feeling. He's just not used to being on the receiving end of it.
For those who missed it:

Boston would go on to beat the Hornets in overtime by a final score of 140-129. Bridges continued his strong start to the season by chipping in 25 points and 10 rebounds on 11 of 22 from the field. Brown had an even 30 points and 9 rebounds for the Celtics.
Brown got the last laugh this time both with the clip and the final score but it's a safe bet to assume Bridges will be putting players on posters throughout this season for the Hornets as he's known to be one of the high flyers in the NBA.
