How to Save an NBA Career: The Story of Andrew Wiggins' Redemption 

Watching Wiggins go from somebody who everyone agreed was a bust to a champion with the warriors was so good to see.

this is why i love the warriors organization, they find unproven players untapped potential and turn them into valuable people on a championship roster

When the world needed him most,he showed up

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.

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

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You said it all in the beginning most players never accomplish what he has already, and his career isn’t even over yet.

I salute GSW for unlocking his real potential as a player. Especially on defence.

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.

Please do Derrick Rose next!!

Damn I love this redemption story. I’m happy for Wiggins.

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.

Thank you for taking your time and doing this story it was Great! We appreciate you.

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.

Your editing really improved over the time, love the content!!

Great video. You're making much progress witch montage, composition, cuts in. Love it keep up !

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

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

Bro you're editing skills are getting better keep it up man

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

Perfect example of what believing in yourself and working hard will get you! Genuinely inspiring man

He’s one of my favorite players on my favorite team. EVERYONE loves Wiggs. SO humble. Just seems like a super good dude.

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

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

he really balled out. always dope to see someone rise up.

Another great breakdown, keep up the good work!

Move over Super Bowl Sunday, Dylan just posted a new video

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

Your editing is top notch!!!🙏

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

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 🙌🏾

always a good day when theres a new dylan video

One of the most underrated content creators out there another banger ✅

Been waiting on some heat 🔥🔥

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

I like the meme edits dylan, keep em up

Great video! You nailed it!

Greg oden isn’t a bust, he got injured, Anthony Bennett is, he is built like a good nba player.

“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 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

i loved seeing his progress in the blue and yellow 💙💛

So happy for him man, just needed a change of scenery.

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

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 like the small humor you put in this video, man! Haha

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

Lets goo another video.

Love your vids fam 💯🔥

I’m glad you make this video

gr8 editing man

The goat dylandoesbasketball

Another great phenomenal film 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 by Dylan does basketball 🏀. You go boy🚶‍♂️ keep on making it happen

Such a Grea vid bro A Wiggs definitely turned the beat around bro 💍🏆

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.

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 love the OG Half-Life music 😂 great video!!

Yessir new video❤️❤️

Great video! Shot out to Wiggins for putting in the work to match his talents!

Seeing what all this young guy had to go through. Tells me we all need a Kerr to help us through life 🙏

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

A De’Aaron Fox and Sacramento Kings video would be insane dylan

I love that Dylan is a fellow emplemon enjoyer

These vids are quality

I like the gran turismo music in the background Dylan

Love his game and it's great to see him getting his due

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

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.

Jimmy really was destroying his house after Wiggs ended up winning the chip 😂

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.

The PilotRedSun track, nice

Do a video on the history of load management please!! It’s a modern day crisis

It felt so good to see him rise up

Off topic but I love the use of Nintendo music in your vids

remember people trolling him for the all star selection he certainly showed he was at that level in the finals

your videos are so fucking good. you satisfy the basketball junkies

missed your videos

Two-way has another 8+ good years left. That monster dunk on Luca with that angry/killer stare down... man, that's scary... he's a perfect fit with golden state.

❗️Best basketball channel❗️

Dylan = Untouchable 👏

I hope all is well and he will be back soon!💯💯

Love the super Mario galaxy music in the back, 10/10 culture points 🤙

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.

I AM A TIMBERWOLVES FAN AND I AM GLAD HE GOT HIS RING 💍 THATS GONNA help his legacy

Dylan roasting Luka and Tatum was the best part of the video.

We love you Wiggs🙏GO DUBS!!💛💙

❤ the video great job

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.

Great video... Thanks 🤠

First player to go from a bum to star back to bum in record time
