Andrew Wiggins Claps Back At Haters After Championship Season: “Now Everyone Is Quiet”

 

Andrew Wiggins has found redemption and a home with the Golden State Warriors after his unappreciated sting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Often described as an underachiever and a bust throughout his early career, the former No.1 overall turned things around in Golden State and made the most of the opportunity to silence his doubters, setting himself up as an All-Star starter and an NBA champion.

In his first NBA Finals, Wiggins impressed with averages 18.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game on 44.6% shooting from the field. He had his biggest game in Game 5 where he tallied a 26/13/2 stat line to help the Warriors slip past the Boston Celtics.

More than a week after his impressive NBA Finals have ended, Wiggins is seemingly on a revenge tour and is taking his time firing back at his naysayers after his talent and intangibles were put to question prior to this championship season with the Warriors.

Per Complex:

 

“When they talk it’s all motivation. When I first got here, everyone had something to say, now everyone is quiet. That’s the best feeling, when people doubt you, and people sleep on you, and don’t think that you can do something that you know you can do, that you’ve been doing your whole life. It’s good to just make those guys kick rocks.”
