BOSTON — A champagne-drenched Andrew Wiggins proudly held up his Canadian flag for the cameras before taking a seat at the podium to try to articulate just how incredible it is to finally be an NBA champion.
“Man, it feels good, it feels amazing,” a smiling Wiggins said after the Warriors 103-90 win over the Celtics to take the NBA Finals in six games. “You put in so much work, so much time, to make it here, and the end result is becoming a champion. So, there’s nothing like it. So now I’m going to celebrate like crazy.”
Wiggins had long been categorized as an underperforming former top pick. But Wiggins finally proved the skeptics wrong after finding a perfect situation with the Warriors, where he’s thrived as a role player.
