The Golden State Warriors won their fourth championship in eight years by defeating the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals. Steph Curry led the way, winning his first Finals MVP. However, Andrew Wiggins was also a key contributor. On “The VC Show,” Wiggins said that all the veterans on the team were helpful from the start.
“All those guys were very encouraging and motivating,” Wiggins said. “I mean you see Steph, you know Draymond, you know Dre, all of them. They did a lot for me in a lot of different ways. One thing they all do, is they all hold you accountable. When you do something wrong , they’re gonna get at you.”
“But the thing that I love about them is that when you do it right, they’re gonna be the first people to congratulate you. I feel like that goes a long way. But just being there, they’ve taught me a lot on and off the court. I cherish those guys.”
The former first overall pick was stellar on both ends of the floor for the Golden State Warriors. Playing alongside Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala have certainly helped Wiggins’ growth as a player.
Andrew Wiggins frequently received pep talks from the Golden State Warriors veterans. He has been in the league for a while now, but Curry, Thompson, Iguodala and Green have championship experience. Wiggins has matured as a player, and it will be interesting to see that continue next season.
Aside from Wiggins, the Golden State Warriors have some exciting young talent coming up. Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga, Jordan Poole and James Wiseman will be significant parts of their future. The youngsters can learn a lot with these savvy veterans on the roster.
The Warriors have the perfect blend of youth and experience. If they can keep it all together, the Dubs’ excellence will continue for years.
Can the Golden State Warriors win a championship next year?
