  • Watching Wiggins go from somebody who everyone agreed was a bust to a champion with the warriors was so good to see.
  • His ring has legitimacy, too. It's not like he was riding the bench; he was one of the best players on that Warriors team.
  • this is why i love the warriors organization, they find unproven players untapped potential and turn them into valuable people on a championship roster
  • @babystacks
    I have to say that no matter where he was in his career, "future star" to "bust" to "redeemed" that this guy always looked to have a huge smile on his face and I really admire that. He just seems like such a happy guy.
  • He isn't having as good of a season this year but he has been injured and the Warriors are healthier this year than last. Klay didn't play most of last season so Wiggins was asked to be the #2 option and I feel he excelled in that role. With Klay back and Poole rising, he isn't asked to do as much offensively so I think thats more to do with his drop of production this year. I still believe he's the Warriors 2nd best all around player.
  • @ALV5252
    Best player story in a few seasons so far, alongside GPII's 2022 season. Hope he becomes healthy this year and show us more of that Star potential.

    This channel is the definition of quality over quantity. Every vid is a banger
  • @JanterOlivas
    What a success story. I am from the Philippines where only NBA superstars' names become known to many. I had never heard of Wiggins before he was acquired by the Warriors and now he is known here as an elite player.
  • @matts8012
    I love the Andrew Wiggins story. He came into the league right as I had to read Ender's Game for school, iykyk. But this man is the sole reason. The SACRIFICE that brought us one of the greatest NBA Finals back and forths ever. It is so fitting that he finally reaches his potential, and helps win the fallen dynasty, that happened somewhat because of him, another championship. GOSH THAT'S SO GOOD.
  • @jakejake909
    You said it all in the beginning most players never accomplish what he has already, and his career isn’t even over yet.
  • @congeee
    I am not a warriors fan but I’m a big fan of Wiggins. Almost had me rooting for them in the finals last year.
  • There's something important to be learned here. Leadership isn't always about yelling at your teammates and calling them weak or lazy when they don't work as hard as you want them to. Not everyone is a Kobe/Jordan type who thrives on pure conflict. You MAYBE do that once a lot of trust has been established both ways and you know your teammates inside and out. Instead, leadership is about giving the tools to help someone succeed. Sometimes it means taking a step back and letting them breathe. It means encouraging them at the right moments for doing the right things. It means making sure that they are okay mentally and physically. The fact that Wiggins has grown so much at Golden State is proof that he was always talented. Leadership failed him in Minnesota.
  • @Nooroodin84
    Damn I love this redemption story. I’m happy for Wiggins.
  • @faithbaez4022
    I am so proud that he is apart of such a great team and environment I pray that he becomes that great player everyone excepted him to be in 2014
  • Thank you for taking your time and doing this story it was Great! We appreciate you.
  • @klipklapklop3359
    First player to go from a bum to star back to bum in record time
  • I love how the Warriors and Steve seem to be able to bring out the best in players. Wiggins is one of my favorite players now
  • @tank3534
    Wiggins is my favorite player of all time this just shows how the warriors org just see players that are unproven and make them into a amazing player.
