2 years ago when they forced him to be an All Star, they were spamming the shit out of the “2-way Wigs” nickname. It was the first words out of every player and coach’s mouth.

Why don’t they just scream this propaganda again and make him good?

Iggins Wiggins of Andrew is a cooler nickname anyway

[–] MC-Jdf@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a certain level of play where nicknames don't stick around anymore and Wiggins already exceeded that.

Also Wiggins had way cooler nicknames, come on man.

Not to mention there's a whole fanbase that envies his success.

It’s the opposite. Guy can’t score at all and is basically a one way player.

[–] GalaadJoachim@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No-Way Wigs

[–] MC-Jdf@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Two way Wiggins nickname stuck around for a grand total of one season and that was not the championship year.

Man this is kind of irrelevant but this reminded me that I’m kinda glad the Warriors are falling off because they are easily collectively the corniest organisation in the league. From Steph’s stupid little dances whenever he makes a layup to Draymond and to just small annoying stuff like this. Yes I’m a hater. To answer your question it’s bc Wiggins sucks ass now

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Heat are pretty corny in my book. This is one of the worst offenses I can think of in recent years.

[–] MellowMuttley@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s all on the marketing department, baby. The actual fanbase is too busy eating crow about the roster and praying on the downfall of the Bucks.

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's such a Heat marketing-department thing to say.

[–] trulyniceguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Heat fans will spend more time telling you why they deserved Dame than watching their actual team

[–] thefinalshady@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You hate them because they completely dominated your team dude, not because of whatever made up reason. You're saying they're more corny than Ja Morant's grizzlies or Tatum's celtics? Bruh.

[–] RONALDINHO_GAUCH0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hated them long before they dominated my team

[–] animajunky@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’d be crazy if they still get further then the mavs

[–] Jjohn269@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People on here love to hate Steph for some reason, he is one of the most entertaining players of the past decade. He is good and has fun playing the game

I get hating Draymond and Warriors fans, but only after he retires will some of you learn to appreciate Steph

[–] modrics_hairband@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ppl be hating steph for no reason, like how lifeless must ur life be too hate on little dances

[–] PoolePartyVIP@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ll enjoy watching your irrelevant organization continue to waste Luka until he moves on to somewhere he has an actual chance of winning a championship

[–] Extra_Ad1761@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The warriors will win this year and I fear for your mental health at that point

[–] Sartheking@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is the most r/nba post ever.

[–] ConfuciusBr0s@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kpop wiggins was better tbh

[–] AutographedSnorkel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Two Way Wiggins sounds like a nickname somebody comes up with in a thread titled, "We need to come up with a nickname for Andrew Wiggins!"

[–] PeterJuncqui@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And since we are on the subject: why don't we call this subreddit r/nbacirclejerk anymore? In my pc it reads r/nba, but this is clearly shitposting.

[–] JimmyWasRight@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wiggins won a chip and got his third contract.

He doesn't care anymore. This is how he looked before he got traded the first time.

[–] jtruth9@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean back we was averaging 20+ on average-above average efficiency?? This is not that Wiggins.

[–] RJBarrettsBurner@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well he gets less shots now because he’s not being shoe-horned into being a top offensive option for the team (that honor goes to Klay)

and Wiggins definitely never had above-average efficiency when he was in Minnesota

[–] TdotGdot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I ate crow when he was such a valuable piece of that title team. After watching him in minny for years I just didn’t think he could be a valuable contributor to any serious team. He just didn’t do enough things during a game.

So ya, totally agree this is the Wiggins we saw. Floats around, very few effort plays, still a few highlights from his athleticism but ultimately just doesn’t really seem to care enough to really impact winning.

[–] PlayInChampions@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To all the Warriors fans who thought Wolves cannot develop players - THIS is how he looked before the trade, and that’s why Wolves had to attach 1st round pick to get rid of Wiggins and acquire Dlo. The difference is he was giving you 40 points once in a month and you thought we might have finally unlocked him and win it all.

[–] indicisivedivide@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The wolves have a new owner. So of course they are different now. The previous owner was bad and it permeated through the organisation. Even the warriors were lucky that Larry Ellison did not get ownership of the warriors.

[–] jtruth9@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is lies lol. He was averaging 20+ on average to above average effenciency. But not playing hard or smart beyond that.

This year, right now Wiggs is playing hard and good defense (Warriors have a top 10 defense) but he can't make a shot.

[–] TdotGdot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nah that other comment is what I saw too. Could fill up points on a stats sheet but never made winning plays and zero effort doing anything else. He had people fooled for a while (including you still, I guess)

[–] The_Bit_Tickler@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is it possible he’s phoning the season in to keep himself healthy for Team Canada?

It’s not worth it, Wiggins. You and the rest of the world are going to get trounced by the LeVengers.

[–] DidiGreglorius@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hate to burst the Warriors hate bubble but we’re still at the stage of the season where random variation in 3 point shooting matters a lot.

  • Klay — 34% on 7.5 attempts
  • CP3 — 16% on 3.4 attempts
  • Wiggins — 15% on 2.4 attempts
  • Kuminga — 18% on 2.2 attempts

They definitely need a legit 2nd option to contend and maybe not all of these guys reach their prior heights but things aren’t gonna stay like this for them.

[–] pinkiebear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because he’s been terrible this year and barely played last year.

[–] SolutionHopeful4690@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My nickname for him is Andy Wiggo
