Andrew Wiggins Defensive Highlights | 2022 NBA Finals

Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics
6/2/2022 - 6/16/2022

[@djnoy842]

Wiggins blocks right hand shots with his left hand which is the more effective angle fundamentally. Great defensive players like Pippen, Kawhi, Kobe did the same thing

[@status7505]

It is?

[@2kolbe010]

@@status7505yes, blocking shots with your off hand lets you increase the reach of your arm.

[@Haehnel]

So happy for Wiggins, seeing the way he completely changed the narrative about his career this season was truly something special. Hoping for another strong season next year and looking forward to seeing him represent Canada in the 2024 Olympics !

[@ShotClockHoops]

Maybe the best defensive performance of the NBA Finals ever. He just humiliated Tatum, Brown, Smart and White blocking theier shots, stealing the ball, forcing air-balls. Absolutely fantastic individual defense

[@andrewbeylis1248]

that golden state crowd is something else

[@TheIcemanthomas]

Honestly Wiggins is filling that iggy role for them. I think he should get in that gym with iggy and pick his brain. Cause I think he’s finally found his niche, which has been his struggle all of his career. He can play that James worthy, mark Aguirre type role for this team..

[@Kharl19]

Iggy is already coaching him tho

[@iTzBuescher]

I was gonna say that’s why iggy is on the team lol

[@tyaniggy1397]

True

[@jackcoop4687]

The difference is Wiggins is much younger and have more talent scoring the ball. Andrew Wiggins Career average is like 20 point per game. That’s not a fluke . He legit get buckets

[@greyklopstock7155]

@@jackcoop4687 yup. And going back to back the original comment, I never thought about the James Worthy, Mark Aguirre comps, but that's 100% the role! Play lockdown defense, hit timely shots, and create for yourself when nobody has it going. Take advantage of your elite physical advantages and get some easy looks at the rim as needed. Rebound like a bat outta hell. To me, that three he hit off the offensive rebound at the end of game 6 was the kill shot of the series. Followed his miss, kept his head on a swivel, relocated to the open corner, and knocked down the reload. MAN, I'm still so dang proud of how well Wiggins played all playoffs. Did EVERYTHING the haters said he couldn't do. Efficient offense, lockdown defense, dominant rebounding, and aggressive with the ball when his team needed him

[@peter-laputayung4889]

this guy should be in all defensive 1st team

[@80teg]

he will be next year. lock it in

[@kingjaydex7464]

It will be difficult to make 1st team as a forward

[@tangosloytv7800]

before the finals they were saying celtics defense is just superb but they dont have any idea whos in the warriors defensive arsenals

[@secondnotion9506]

Damn this Andrew Wiggins is different 😳

[@username-hs3pc]

He looked like prime Shawn Marion in the finals

[@DaggerMan11]

good comparison

[@three_john4922]

Better deffender than marcus smart...

[@spider-man120]

That first one is insane, stops the transition, blocks Brown, and then makes Brown turn it over.

[@rylbhadcomntz7660]

Wiggs played like Kawhi in the playoffs locking down one MVP candidate after another

[@etotouka857]

wiggins is amazing

[@SwexyPinoy03]

Almost feel bad for Tatum. Wiggins was pretty much a blanket.

[@rieesu]

2:40 this play by Tatum :DDDDDD

[@Kharl19]

he can't push him, that's one of the differences between them. If Wiggins bumps his body towards someone that playoffs, they literally be sliding off the floor

[@kinghaha7685]

He is much stronger than his looks

[@wesmyone9562]

That's what's up✊🏿

[@JeffMiguel19]

Wiggins was slapping shit

[@tyaniggy1397]

He just freezed tatum

[@eltonbosch8863]

wow, tatum and brown can't get by wiggins... if they have 2 Wiggins, good Lord where will the Celtics get their points

[@guyschill2059]

This guy humiliated the celtics, especially tatum

[@不會打遊戲]

Tatum Srtopper

[@status7505]

2:41

[@guyschill2059]

If only there was like a finals defensive player or something

[@frankieclayton9303]

Wiggins we are yet to see the hungry you and desire like the other people are doing in the players are doing on the Golden State Warriors 🤔

[@frankieclayton9303]

I have not seen that hunger in Wiggins in all season or I'm sending in the younger players the younger guys I have not seen it I ain't saying he ain't doing it I just not seeing that fire in Wiggins during offseason and that's making me kind of concerned

[@lebroncurry3023]

WIGGINS SON’D TATUM IN THIS SERIES HE COULDNT DO NOTHING BC FATHER WIGGINS WOULDNT LET HIM

[@skipbrainless2732]

And to think a 37 yr old LeBron dropped an easy 50 on him. There are levels to this

[@Calito2023]

On Tatum maybe, but against Wiggins he never drop 50 on him, not even during his prime, when Wiggins used to drop an average of 30 pts per game against Lebron defense.

[@numbersin8523]

There's no doubt that Jayson Tatum is a great player, but he was more of a role player against Wiggins.

[@brutuskhan1654]

I had to turn this off after a few seconds. Why is the quality so insanely bad?

[@frankieclayton9303]

That's not a good sign and not a good thing if Wiggins is not hungry sharp on point accurate precise detail sharp calculated at every turn

[@LatrineSpray]

Shoulda have been finals MVP. Without his defense on Tatum they don’t win.

[@yoitsSmitty2004]

Just like curry should’ve won finals mvp in 2015? Without his offense they wouldn’t had won in 2015 including that must win game 5

[@LatrineSpray]

@@yoitsSmitty2004 he was awful in those finals lol give me a break

[@lmldz6360]

This guy disappeared after 2022 season🤣🤦

[@mattryanfan2ify]

Tatum doesn’t have any fluidity
