Andrew Wiggins: A Kobe stan's dream

[LoneyROY7]

So...

Wiggins was traded away because of LeBron :lol, he has a game very reminiscent of young Kobe, and Kobe has already made multiple comments about him seeing himself in Wiggins.

Griff and co. can make a seamless transition once Mamba decides to call it quits for good. :rockon:

[christian1923]

Yeah but he plays for the wolves :(

[russwest0]

Impressive that he is keeping his turnovers down at just 2 per game.

He has a chance to be the next Jordan/Durant in terms of being both efficient and dominant.

[raprap]

Do you guys remember when Kobe stans support Rose in 2011? Then it was Paul George in 2013. Then KD last season. :oldlol:

[rhowen4]

Let's not make this a stan thing. Everyone who wants to enjoy wiggins play shouldn't have to wonder if it's accepted by their group.

Let's make the Stan cycle end here, with Durant.

You can be a LeBron fan and still enjoy watching Wiggins develop, grow and reach his potential (All-Time Great). No need to hate. :confusedshrug:

I'm a fan of Kobe, LeBron and Wiggins mind you.

Bro, are we gonna act like you're not the ONLY person ever on ISH who's truly been a fan of both LeBron and Kobe? :lol

Wiggins is the future. It'll be Wiggins vs KD for the crown in a year or two.

No one who watches Wiggins right now is going to hate on him. The people that hate on him are the ones that will start watching basketball in like 2018 who adopt a different favourite player and thus have to hate on him as a result of that. It's like no one who's actually been watching the NBA since the late 90's actually hates Kobe, but people who started watching in 2006 and liked LeBron do hate Kobe. Very rarely do people hate on a guy they saw from the beginning.

None of the current ISHers will hate him. In a couple years though some kids will start.

They already are hating on him though. On other forums, it's gone from "Wiggins is the next Kwame Brown" to "empty stats, team sucks".

I mean that will always be there. I didn't mean literally "no one" because there's always guys that just hate everything in life. I mean like the aggressive haters that follow them into every thread (a la KGriff for LeBron or Jameer for Kobe).

Soap Opera on ISH for another 10+ years I guess.

[LoneyROY7]

How does Wiggins play like Kobe

Post game, good footwork, smooth jumper, explosive off the dribble.

[Dave3]

I feel like this kinda belongs here - I said it a couple months ago.

Things have worked out thus far in the LeBron vs Kobe debate to put Wiggins firmly in the camp of Kobe:

-LeBron ran him out of town
-Kobe compared himself to Wiggins
-LeBron is all about brand building and image, while Wiggins keeps his head down and works hard
-Kobe and Wiggins did/will do the dunk contest, LeBron won't
-LeBron's legacy is forever tainted with the collusion, Wiggins is still unwritten

I am not sure if he is a Kobestan's dream (Kobe fans are down with the Lakeshow) but he is fun to watch and root for.

[Velocirap31]

Toronto needs to throw everything they have at acquiring him when his rookie deal expires.

[f0und]

not sure if i agree with op

wiggins doesnt take enough dumb shots and freeze out his teammates. not sure if he will ever be that type of player. seems he will always be at least a moderately smart player. with kobe, you could tell from day one he was gonna be a low iq me first player.

Y'all don't get tired of saying this shit? Low IQ? Really?

Low IQ players don't win 5 championships, maybe you get 1, but 5?

Kobe led the Lakers in assist for all of their championship runs, he doesn't have a low IQ, he just has too much confidence.

To the bushes with that hating shit!
