Bruno Fernando · To leave as the last man standing in a rim-based battle against a player known as “The Greek Freak,” two things are a literal requirement: freakish athleticism of one’s own, and a healthy ounce or two of irrational confidence. A quiet possessor of both from the moment he soared in during the 2019 NBA Draft’s second round, Bruno Fernando updates his highlight reel with a new example, first working a pseudo pick-and-roll alongside his talented two-guard. Mistakenly given a step or two to generate additional power, the Toronto Raptors big explodes into a vicious poster jam over the league’s two-time Most Valuable Player, leaving his sidecourt teammates with jaws agape. The Milwaukee Bucks ultimately traded a loss on the video reels for a victory on the scoreboards on November 12, 2024, but Fernando left the NBA Cup opener as a trending topic nonetheless. In 18 reserve minutes, the sixth-year big chipped in through an eight-point, 13-rebound, two-assist, two-block contribution. · State of Mint · State of Mint
