Golden State Warriors Show Love To Andrew Wiggins
The Warriors made a tribute video for Wiggins (who they traded during the middle of last season).
After the game, Wiggins was asked about the tribute (and the Warriors).
Wiggins: “It was a great tribute. It definitely meant a lot to see all the love in the building, all the excitement, all the old faces and everything that comes with it… It was a moment I’ll cherish. You don’t get too many of these… They never stop moving, they share the ball and whenever you have Steph out there, you know the gravity he gets and you know the attention he gets on the court. Frees up everybody.”
