The Mikal Bridges trade set the NBA world ablaze a day before this year’s draft.
Indeed, Bridges will join his old Nova teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo with the New York Knicks, which instantly makes them one of the most enjoyable and dangerous NBA teams going into next season.
Soon after the news broke on Tuesday night, all four of the former Villanova teammates got on a group call right to discuss their reunion.
Hart shared an absolutely delightful image on Twitter (X) of the four friends all celebrating their reunion, with Bridges the final piece of the puzzle to put all of these old pals back together again.
You can tell by the looks on their faces how genuinely thrilled they all are, as Hart, Bridges and Brunson were already quick to react on social media.

The trade has massive implications for the NBA at large, but it’s clearly huge on a personal level as well for these four old friends who now get to play basketball together again. How cool is that?
