Things Aren’t Looking Good for Andrew Wiggins 

Who else skips the ad segment of the video Yo 1k‼️😂 no ad money? WOMP WOMP😂

RJ Barrett’s brother died recently, man that’s some sad shit. Hope that didn’t happen with wiggs

bro you speak so smoothly I barely noticed I had it on .75 speed

Appreciate it for always providing us with the best quality videos AM Hoops 🔥

Athleticalchemy said it best. You can have your privacy, that's your prerogative, but don't expect sympathy from us. If he said, "Hey, my dad is in the hospital, gimme some time" or "Hey, I'm going through a divorce, gimme some time" I think people would understand. But by not even giving a vague description of his reasons for being away, he leaves the door open for people to question his commitment to basketball and the team. Kyrie disappeared from Brooklyn for a while without explanation and everyone absolutely DID question his commitment, Wiggs isn't going to be treated any differently. He can make us forget he was gone if he plays well, but he's too inconsistent. As a Warriors fan, I'm painfully aware that we have no chance to win a single playoff series without the Two Way Wiggs of old. We desperately need him to show up. I hope he can get his head right soon, because it's clear there's something wrong, and it isn't physical.

Who would have thought that the infamous “bag” given to Wig and poole is going to turn out as the worst2 contracts in the NBA.

The guy has the physical attributes of Tracy McGrady but the heart of Ben Simmons.

I would say it is no one’s business, except…… he is playing in a high profile job relying on fan support to pay his “lottery winner” type salary and wants commercial advertising dollars on top of that. No problem with fans wanting to know what the issue is. It is OK to ask what is the reason. That said, there is nothing wrong with him wanting to keep it private. If you don’t like that…. Don’t buy his jersey, don’t buy tickets to his games or watch them on TV.

I've probably watched 100 of your videos. Finally subscribed. Keep up the good work!

So many uploads recently! You’re killing it, my guy!!

Love your videos. So much great content

Wiggins has turned into 2016 Finals Harrison Barnes

casey, bro i love the content! you are my favorite basketball content creator. and i also love the podcast. keep it up 👍

Love your vids man, also curious what team you go for?

There's only 1 thing I've seen completely rip away all joy and happiness from a person until they end their entire career or worse and that is the loss of a child even an unborn child. I seriously do pray that this is not what happened with Andrew Wiggins. Because life is never the same after something that horrific but considering how long it has been since this took place It is something that must be considered because it's obvious there is no joy or happiness in that man right now And it's well over a year later maybe 2.

Love your videos

Thanks for your content!

Wiggs was one of my favorite players and when we won the championship I was so happy and high on him. Fuck why has this happened it hurts me to watch him now … he’s such a good dude we probably got to trade him but it’ll suck

That was a very smooth ad transition

We need Andrew Wiggins from the championship run I miss 2-way wiggs

Thanks

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯

Things are looking good for me 👍

As a Raptors fan, we did just get some sad news about one of our players and he just took a leave of absence from the team. Our season is over, but I hope he doesn't let this emotionally destroy him for years to come. Oh, and to anyone who is ignorant and thinks Wiggins is soft, you don't know what it's like losing a family member, my Aunt passed away a couple of years ago and my mother couldn't work for a few weeks she was so sad and depressed.

good vod

I don't need to skip YT does that for me automatically 🤙

It's because they don't utilize Wiggins properly, especially in the low post when he has a mismatch. They should give him more isolation plays, not just use him as a screener to get their shooters open. I hope they give Wiggs more playing time so he can regain his confidence!

I think this really goes into how much of a disconnection there is with mental health if he was hurt physically I think everyone would have a different tone I think players should be allowed personal games or time a week or a number of games at any point in the season where they can take time for themselves

with how good kuminga been playing, wiggins is currently the most expandable player in warriors

Bro looks 92.5 years old in the thumbnail.

Nah mai hoki mai bless you Wiggins and healthy life in the world 🌎 🙏 ka.pai have awesome things 🙏✨️🎉💕

I believe it's the seemingly toxic behind the scenes GS environment that is wearing in AW. Plus, he was scapegoated by Kerr early in the season and taken out of the starting lineup when the issues were bigger than just AW. Plus, his best friend on the ream was Jordan Poole. I think a change of scenery will do wonders for his game... Toronto anyone?

Wife cheating is what I suspected from the beginning. He's not trying to advertise that. I'm glad you mentioned that because I hadn't actually heard that from anywhere before.

A dude works in a public space getting millions of dollars and is out for uniquely extended period (don't recall anyone else being out that long for "personal" reasons) for two consecutive seasons. It's expected that paying fans will have questions and are owed some kind of explanation that make sense. Family/Father illness no longer makes sense. Not for the 2nd year.

Firestarter, like kick rocks Prodigy...damn.

I think it's entirely possible that the Warriors one day become champions with Jonathan Kuminga as their best player. The question is if that happens before or after Steph, Klay and Draymond retire.

Prayers for Wiggins

As a Warrior fan in Minnesota I feel that I can speak on Andrew Wiggins! In my opinion I don't think Andrew loves the game of basketball...I think he does it because he's good at it and it has made him a lot of money but he doesn't love it...If it was me I would have traded him for a big before the trading deadline but we know the Warriors are all about their players feelings...Just imagine how good the Warriors would be if every time Wiggins or Kuminga got the ball they attacked the basket...You always have the other team in foul trouble and our shooters would get a ton of open shots...but no we got Wimpy in his feelings...family crisis or not...

im not gonna even lie… this guy deserves way more popularity then rn man… best quality basketball news ever. Keep up the work

“Something bad happens that sucks the talent from your best player” idk why but immediately thinking about kyrie when people used to say he was moody but never asked what happened

He isn’t obligated to tell us fans what is going on and us fans are not obligated to be patient. Everyone in the NBA plays through personal issues and many of us regular folks work through tough times. The team pays him handsomely to be there, and he hasn’t been there much the last 2 seasons 💯

Wanting answers and getting those answers isnt gonna solve the problem

Hello my good sir.

Whatever it is, it's gotta be bad. Really, really bad. Far worse than infidelity or the death of a sibling. It's gotta be something capable of truly destroying a man in a single blow. I hope he's getting help. It's just sad. The whole thing is too terribly sad.

Nice.

Warriors gotta play gui Santos more, he’s shown some flashes of prime Andrew Wiggins 2.0

"What if its sad" 😂

On $20 million a year im struggling to have sympathy 😂 all the rest of us on $50k a year can't have this kind of time off no matter how gnarly the situation.

Sup dawgs

As a Warriors fan only person I’m trading Wiggins for is either Mikal Bridges or Lauri Markkanen but we still NEED Wiggins because he’s one of the best POA’s in the whole Nba, played amazing defense on Luka again without Curry and Draymond so yes even when Wiggs isn’t really locked in his offense is a mess but we don’t need his offense anymore that’s what Kuminga is for now all we need is for Wiggins to be that LOCKDOWN wing defender every contender wants and needs! I WANT to keep Wiggins around and matter of fact next year I want Kerr to go big with the Starting 5, I want it to be Curry, Wiggins, Kuminga, Draymond and TJD, off the bench we still got Podz, Klay, Moody, Looney Gp2 and if we bring back Cp3, also that late second round pick we got and also free agency we can get another backup 4 or 5!

Yo bro can you please make a video on if you think the raptors will make the play in tournament or not please please I asked before to

Real ones know this is from the AM Hoops podcast 🙏

3:41 Isiah Thomas is a center? Good shit lmao

When you get paid millions of dollars to play a game, unless your daddy's dying this week, get your ass on the court.

there we go the gambling sponsor is back. had to take a little break for the gambling topic vid.

2:09 You're welcome

From two-way-wigs to phone-it-in-wigs

I am THAT fan that is running out of patience.

I think it’s more unusual to act like nothing’s happening than to confront the reality of the matter at hand. If they can maintain the motivation to keep this shrouded in secrecy they need to find the same motivation to do what’s best for the team and put Moody in the starting lineup. Personally, I’d send him home to handle his business until he can properly focus on his job. Inserting Moody back as a starter would help the younger core gain some much needed playoff game experience in preparation for a serious playoff run next season. RIP Nathan Barrett, prayers for his brother RJ and their family 🙏

Crazy bc Wiggs was an All Star Starter, and was a big reason the Dubs won the NBA Finals putting the Clamps on Tatum...

I waited 10 minutes and had 200k when you hit 100 awesome map

Head case...we all have personal problems. I was suspect when it was reported he slammed his hand in the car door. How many people do that.

i could see it actually being an injury but golden state and wiggens doesnt want people figuring that out. in case they could trade him.

He the weakest link on the team right now 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

The Wiggins hate is crazy. Let the warriors mess around and grind out the play-in, and Wiggs is the go to player 😱😱

HELL NO to Kuzma and KAT. No way do i want them at Golden State. Moody should not be a part of any trade to help unload Wiggins or Klay...but I'd part with Moody if it included Wiggins AND Klay.

You think the Warriors would beat the Thunder. Can you post up a video about that?

So, who else remembers when Larry Sanders and D-Rose leave the team for some personal reasons more than once? If anyone says that every player deals with personal issues and still plays, is being entitled to a point of wanting to force Wiggins to play through personal matters.

Without Klay and Wiggins being in 2022 form, Warriors just not getting out of the first round. Top three teams in the West too tough this year and those are their two top wing defenders and have been top scorers too.

No. As a Warriors fan it doesn’t matter what happened in his personal life. What matters is that we just want him to be ok and be back at full strength.

Just got to pray for Wiggs. Dear Lord please comfort Wiggs. Give him comfort and peace in his trial that you have him in your hands. Restore his confidence. Release the weight he is carrying. Help channel his energy for good In Christ's name.

It's basketball, not politics. So it's the Warriors' business, not ours. Including it's the Warriors' business to manage the "messaging" surrounding his absences. And they're managing it with pretty much the same ineptitude they managed the Draymond-Poole fiasco, Draymond's indefinite suspension, etc. They clearly are not champions of "transparency!" And we'll probably keep paying whatever we have to in order to keep seeing whatever Steph does on the court - a generational player, one of a kind, etc. (justifies their business decision, as much as i find that annoying)

Michael Porter Jr is going through hell in his family and he still balling

I believe only the dark web has the true reason for Wiggins absences 😱💀

i told you so!! -jimmy butler & carl anthony towns

Wiggins look like an old man in that thumbnail 😬

Andrew wiggins's Identical twin took his spot when he went home for the "family issue" 100% accurate

The villains from space jam stole his game

Who else skips any sponser given to any videos on a.m hoops 😅

There is very few personal excuses for sitting put for family reasons. Wiggins is Just the new Ben Simmons at this point.

We need an aggressive Wiggins Dunkin on the face of opponents

Obviously I’m speculating, but I wonder if he’s in a major depressive episode. It would make sense in a lot of ways. I feel bad for him, because clearly there’s something off about him.

All of us faces real life difficulties and still go to work daily. That is some BS excuse.

he’s recovering from broken ribs thats kinda why he’s been down on everything and also some family shit going on

Jazz ain’t trading Markkenen bluddy

Can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Wiggins never had that dawg in him and never will.

Let’s be real they’re not making it out of the play-in with the mavs, suns, kings or pels in the mix

Nah.....your wrong Casey. Wiggins got the bag$$$$. He just doesn't work hard once he gets the Bag$$$$

Danny Ainge still did IT dirty 🙅🏽‍♂️

Remember how inconsistent he was in Minnesota?He is still that same person

I don't wan't to know. It's none of my concern. Also I think he should be given a choice to either show up for work or not be paid for missed days. I don't care what is going on in his personal life. He gets paid to PLAY basketball & he gets plenty of time off during the "offseason".

Kuminga is a champion too

In Light of all this.... I just hope the toilet flushes today.... The coat hanger trick is getting old 😒

he'll be back for the playoffs

He took time off to deal with whatever is going on, sure. But if you're on the court, gametime, getting paid millions, there's no excuses.

He has a personal bet with Poole as to who can outdo who as far as biggest disappointment of 2024.

I know someone that their cousin works at chase center and he was told his uncle had a stroke not his father

Wiggins is a man and he has obligations to his teammates. He also makes big bucks and fans have shelled out $$$ for ticket plans. Coddling Wiggs isn't helping him. Once? Sure. Twice nope. He certainly doesn't have things as tough as those living in nations with civil unrest and wars. Deal him as he is hurting his team at this point.

Wiggins to Pistons. Future pick, grimes, and something else to Warriors.

Klay is not a starter anymore... Wiggins needs to give up is spot until his mind is right again... Kaminga and Moody can pick up the slack easily!
