Andrew Wiggins has accomplished many things since joining the Golden State Warriors. He’s made an All-Star Game, posted the highest scoring efficiency of his career, and recently set a career high with eight made threes in a game.
But all of that pales in comparison to the defense he played against Jayson Tatum while helping lead the Warriors to a 4-2 NBA Finals win over the Boston Celtics. It was that performance, even more than starting in an All-Star game, that stamped the “star” label next to Wiggins’ name in so many people’s eyes.
