Watching Wiggins go from somebody who everyone agreed was a bust to a champion with the warriors was so good to see.
Not only that but he performed extremely well when it counted most and was a HUGE reason why they beat boston
Actual second best player on a championship run
he was rookie of the year why you warriors keep lying SF is full of sickos there i said it
Sucks it was with the Warriors tho. Wish he would have won with a different team
@@beinghonest9433 he was still labeled a bust after that 😂😂 get out ya feelings
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.
He was the 2nd best
I dont know man, having one of the greatest shooters of the game plus a coaching staff probably makes any player play good basketball,
Wiseman enter the chat
the scouting report wasn't looking to lock up wiggins. winning with the warriors isn't very impressive. try playing life on hard mode with the hornets.
@michael jordan he wasnt the 2nd best because of offense it was his defense that helped the warriors the most
When the world needed him most,he showed up
The Twolves needed him, what're you talking about !
@@MrTrueCaller619he could be talking about Dylan, and posting a new video also. My thoughts.
@@TimeKeeperBris yea
showed up and showed out 🔥
If by world you mean the Bay Area then yea
this is why i love the warriors organization, they find unproven players untapped potential and turn them into valuable people on a championship roster
Unproven?! He was the number one overall pick, rookie of the year and 20 ppg player. They didn't find him overseas,lol. 😂
@@MrOctober44 unproven because Wiggins never got a chance to prove he can lead a team to the championship, and never reached his full potential on the Twolves
Yes, just like Wiseman.
@@eliv8468 Wiggins had played for 4-5 years in the league at that point. Wiseman has hardly played and had only something like 3 games in college . JW just did not have the experience to fit into the Warriors' complex offensive and defensive schemes.
Yeah like KD
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.
I mean he still is good he just taking it easy on his body
that’s cap. he was doing just fine before his adductor injury. after it tho he hasn’t been having the same, he is getting his groove back tho
Dubs just pacing him due to the injury and sickness.
He still is their best two way player with Klay now. But he is their go to guy wing defender now, He's the one taking the best offensive player in the oposition.
what drop of production? he’s literally taking the same amount of shots that he did last year if anything he’s attempting more 3s. he’s replicating his all-star from last year look at his stats
Was so damn happy for Wiggs. He was the second best player on a CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. To go from what everyone called a bust to that, AND an Allstar pretty much in one year is insane, but well deserved. He can tell he worked hard for it and had to humble himself a lot
I mean when you got a group of really hungry guys, you get motivated.
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.
This channel is the definition of quality over quantity. Every vid is a banger
Just
Exactly!!
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.
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.
Wiggins responded to Butler’s criticism though. He embraced that shit and got better.
I don’t think min failed him i think he failed himself i think your criticism is lacking context considering we don’t know what the leadership was like in min also the warriors who have draymond so i think it’s unjust
@@sousgod5017 If my comment is lacking context so is yours.
@@youngminpark3173 elaborate?
@@youngminpark3173 You said the leadership failed wiggins which is incorrect,Jimmy went to the heat and has done amazing things as the “leader” draymond and jimmy have very similar leadership styles so with that being said the leadership wasn’t the problem wiggins and kat were known to have poor work ethic.that is on wiggins not management
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.
You said it all in the beginning most players never accomplish what he has already, and his career isn’t even over yet.
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.
I have a completely new perspective on Andrew Wiggins now. Yeah, he had that poster on Luka, KAT, and Brandon Clarke. I however, did not realize how hard he worked to get to this point, and how much he had improved, just seeing his 16 ppg last season. Now, I see that he’s honestly the most underrated player in the league. Who else is there?
Underrated? Not really.... People just got tired of him not showing his full potential thus people didn't care that much since his departure from the twolves... Not until he blossomed last year... My opinion only
@@cdeleon3494 yeah and the things you said I agree with, but I’m just saying all this from a perspective of someone who knows what this is like and is trying to get around to the other side of it all.
@@ATLB912 i see. But i can't call him underrated since he became an all star, that means people acknowledge his talent
@@cdeleon3494 yeah I’m saying the NBA acknowledges him and people (other than Warriors fans) don’t
@@cdeleon3494 funny how blossomed equates to under career averages scoring and barely better shooting %s and rebounding. Only thing that changed is he went from a losing franchise to a champion with Warriors. Amazing how perceptions and legacies of players change whether they land on a winning or losing team. Do you think if Kobe or MJ played on that wolves team they would have won anything? Not a chance. Even his defense, sure it improved but it was in big part due to playing on the best defensive team in NBA. Wolves with Rubio, Towns leading were terrible on D. When defense is constantly collapsing around you due to bad teammates it is to play down to ones abilities.
Please do Derrick Rose next!!
100% agree
Almost she'd a tear when he dropped 50 w the twolves
Do it Jimmy
Drose vid would go brazzyyy
I’ll cry
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.
I salute GSW for unlocking his real potential as a player. Especially on defence.
Damn I love this redemption story. I’m happy for Wiggins.
Thank you for taking your time and doing this story it was Great! We appreciate you.
He’s one of my favorite players on my favorite team. EVERYONE loves Wiggs. SO humble. Just seems like a super good dude.
Great video. You're making much progress witch montage, composition, cuts in. Love it keep up !
Perfect example of what believing in yourself and working hard will get you! Genuinely inspiring man
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
Your editing really improved over the time, love the content!!
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
I feel calling a calling a career altering or ending injured player a bust(those who do) is unfair, like Oden or Roy, wouldn't Rose be a bust then? both Roy and Oden had bright futures but injuries plagued them or just straight up destroyed them.
Rose was an MVP though, that’s literally the best award a player can receive that doesn’t involve his team or anyone else
@@playboimomo also the youngest.
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.
Bro you're editing skills are getting better keep it up man
Man, I love these videos. Don’t stop makin them
He was never bad on the wolves. Always rooted for Wiggins and I’m happy that he won a ring
you’re right, he was terrible
Bruh did you even watched the vid 😂 his efficiency, rebounding, and defense was terrible when he was on the wolves.
Wiggins was either the 1st or 2nd best player on the Twolves when he was there and us now 2nd best player in GS. He would be the 1st or 2nd best player on most NBA teams.
I mean if he never was a top 1 pick and maybe a top 8-10 pick. His contributions are great, and also if he was like a 3rd option on that team, his stats are quite good. But he's a top 1 pick and people has high expectations for that.
@@lazzz122 yeah cus the wolves are a loser franchise. And its obvious they ruined him. The way he played when he went to actual basketball team proves it. And wolves fans are so mentally ill after everything they've gone through they actually blamed the player over their embarrassing organization.
Move over Super Bowl Sunday, Dylan just posted a new video
he really balled out. always dope to see someone rise up.
Another great breakdown, keep up the good work!
Amazing video, wiggins has become such an outstanding player and I’m so glad everything went well for him, one of the best redemptions I’ve seen in sports and I love his play, he really deserves it, he’s an nba champion, an all star and a west finals mvp
Honestly he proved he was never a bust, he was never a bad player, he just wasn’t in the right system or the right environment, and that’s one thing the warriors does extremely well, they are amazing at developing players and making the most of their talents, the warriors and the heat are amazing franchises, with warriors probably being the best in the league at this
Love me some Andrew Wiggins on my Warriors. He is Raw. 💙🏀💛 Warriors Forever. 😊
Awesome job as always Dylan.
I remember being at that Kansas WVU game where he dropped 41 points on us and realizing that he’d be someone really special after not paying attention to him. Really happy to see him finally getting some shine after a rocky starr
w video dylan you are one of the nba youtubers that inspired me to do make nba content on youtube keep up the great work bro
Greg oden isn’t a bust, he got injured, Anthony Bennett is, he is built like a good nba player.
I was a certified hater of both Wiggs and Kat since they demanded max contract despite lacking in effort. But all that struggle really humbled him and now he is even taking less to stay at a winning franchise. Can’t be happier for him now. I hope Wiggs and the Warriors can win it back to back this year
always a good day when theres a new dylan video
Great video! You nailed it!
Your editing is top notch!!!🙏
That makes me think, what would've happened if Andrew Wiggens didn't get traded from Cleveland and played with Lebron early on his career? Maybe he would've had this same mentality early on and maybe would've blossomed into the star we knew he could be. I feel like having him as a number 1 option hindered his learning abilities due to him getting away with bad habits like lacking on defense and bad shot selection but if he suffered those playoff woes early in his career (i.e Kobe) he could've learned and pushed himself even harder to become better so they could win a ring. Shoutout to you Dylan, you're one of my favorite basketball YTs on the platform. I wish you nothing but blessings 🙌🏾
I think he wouldn't flourish there... Bron always trade the young guys...
He woulda been stuck on defensive duty and shitty catch n shoot situations under LeBron and likely turned out worse with a bad narrative to his name.I do agree he never was a #1 guy ppl just assumed his physical gifts warranted him that spot but skillwise n mentally he's not that at all.He did show himself to be a great 3rd/4th option with golden state with less pressure and more advantages to his established abilities
@@cdeleon3494 probably so but I think Wiggins had the talent to contribute tremendously to a championship team. Just needed the coaching
@@mxhughes I feel like skillwise the sky was the limit for him. I'm just thinking about him starting off as a role player with vets around him who could hold him accountable when he took stupid shots then once LeBron left he would've had the keys to the team with a championship mindset. I think part of the reason he didn't live up to the hype was because of him thinking he could get away with so many bad basketball habits that when Minnesota got a star vet, it was hard for him to change those habits.
@@MrSwag131 fair point. But i think a better situation would be if he was drafted / traded in san antonio. Less pressure and a great developmental organization
One of the most underrated content creators out there another banger ✅
As a Timberwolves fan, I’m very happy for Wigs. I wish he could’ve found himself with us, but at least he did find his way
I'm a dubs fan we want kat dis offseason too now 🤣
Back in 2015 or 2016. I remember talking with my friends about wiggs and how he isn’t playing that well. Me a warriors fan, still liked Wiggs tho and I told them that if he was in a warriors jersey he will play better.
I thought about that when he was then traded and knew that the warriors would help him improve his defense, which was the main thing I remember people criticizing him for.
I give credit to Steve Kerr. He even told Anthony Edward’s “ we gonna draft you but you need to be faster.” Was honest and expected player to live up to it. That why I believe the Timberwolf drafted him. They know we wanted him
Been waiting on some heat 🔥🔥
Love your vids fam 💯🔥
I like the meme edits dylan, keep em up
i loved seeing his progress in the blue and yellow 💙💛
Wiggins in Minnesota was expected to be like the main guy, the number 1 option. He played so much better with the dubs when Steph was the one carrying the offensive load
Another great phenomenal film 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 by Dylan does basketball 🏀. You go boy🚶♂️ keep on making it happen
Lets goo another video.
So happy for him man, just needed a change of scenery.
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” And that’s what wiggins did believe and the warriors believe in him too, I’m so glad he’s on the warriors.💙💛💙😤😱🤯
I’m glad you make this video
There's nothing better than people working hard and finally getting their big break. Wiggins was always a solid player but needed to play for a system that complimented his strengths (Minnesota didn't have the winning formula - and he held the ball WAY too long in their offense which isn't a strength of his since he isn't the best iso player). He also stepped up big time defensively and finally had that fire in his eyes that we all wanted him to have. I was rooting for the Celtics to win but Wiggins' entire run with GS was nothing short of poetic how he silenced all of his haters!
love this guy in the Warriors, unfolded uncredible
The goat dylandoesbasketball
gr8 editing man
When Josh Huestis shut him down in March Madness, leading to Stanford upsetting KU, that showed something. As a Warriors fan, his growth has been amazing. Taking a pay cut to stay was another great sign.
Great video! Shot out to Wiggins for putting in the work to match his talents!
Glad to see his game coming back in the win against wizards today after injury
Make a video on how the pelicans failed Anthony Davis
I like this idea
Interesting
Yessir new video❤️❤️
Seeing what all this young guy had to go through. Tells me we all need a Kerr to help us through life 🙏
Such a Grea vid bro A Wiggs definitely turned the beat around bro 💍🏆
All I know is Wiggins was invaluable during the championship run. He played some great 2 way basketball against the celtics, was banging down low, getting rebounds. I love his game when he is feeling confident and happy.
I've came to watch NBA games and clips only in this year. So in the playoffs, seeing Wiggins on the Warriors team felt, to me, like a steal from them. Seeing him Dunk on AD, being good defender and having that wingspan on 6'7. It all felt unfair on that warriors team. Andrew is actually really good player to me so I was curious why did he need to save his career. And that's crazy how gifted players may don't use their advantage. Thanks for a video, i actually liked it
Great video... Thanks 🤠
First player to go from a bum to star back to bum in record time
These vids are quality
I like the small humor you put in this video, man! Haha
remember people trolling him for the all star selection
he certainly showed he was at that level in the finals
A De’Aaron Fox and Sacramento Kings video would be insane dylan
Jimmy really was destroying his house after Wiggs ended up winning the chip 😂
I love the OG Half-Life music 😂 great video!!
It felt so good to see him rise up
A great idea for a long video I think would be the cavs journey to their ring, starting in 2003 with drafting Lebron, up until the 2016 finals, and ending when bron left in 2018
❤ the video great job
When I watched the nba finals the previous year, I don't know much about Wiggins.
But when I see him defend, wow this guy can lockdown I thought. I never knew he has this massive expectation placed on him.
Love his game and it's great to see him getting his due
Basically if you’re a #1 pick and have anything short of a generational career, the bologna sandwich eating talent assessors will label you a bust. Wiggins was never bad, even at his worst. He just needed to learn how to play without the ball in his hands. People wouldn’t even give him any benefit of the doubt when he was struggling on a franchise known as the Minnesota Timberwolves - AKA, possibly one of the worst franchises in the history of sports. If he averages 18-20 for the rest of his career, he’ll never escape the “hype.” But he’ll forever go down as a champion so he truly doesn’t need anyones approval now and he’s got half his career ahead of him still.
Wiggins getting a ring before Jimmy Butler is something I never would've guessed 5 years ago or so.
Do a video on the history of load management please!! It’s a modern day crisis
❗️Best basketball channel❗️
I AM A TIMBERWOLVES FAN AND I AM GLAD HE GOT HIS RING 💍 THATS GONNA help his legacy
I love that Dylan is a fellow emplemon enjoyer
missed your videos
We love you Wiggs🙏GO DUBS!!💛💙
I like the gran turismo music in the background Dylan
Off topic but I love the use of Nintendo music in your vids
your videos are so fucking good. you satisfy the basketball junkies
Love the super Mario galaxy music in the back, 10/10 culture points 🤙
Dylan roasting Luka and Tatum was the best part of the video.
I hope all is well and he will be back soon!💯💯
It’s 11 days after your comment , and it’s now been a solid month He’s been away with no explanation at this critical point of this season.
It’s honestly frustrating . I’ve never seen any pro sports situation even close to this , in terms of opaqueness .
Clearly, the absence is hurting the team’s success . even if they don’t tell us why he’s away, the team should just come out with their expected timeline for his return. (They absolutely know more than they’re telling fans)
@@pushsliceABSOLUTELY I agree! I think it's drugs!💯💯 Or complications from that vax!💯💯
Yesssir here we gooo
The PilotRedSun track, nice
He led rookies with 16.9... and the hype was there. That is why I don't get people saying Jaden Ivey had an "okay" rookie campaign with 16.3 PPG and over 5 dimes to boot. I think Ivey is going to be all NBA with Cade in the within the next 3 seasons.
