“He’s Not THAT Good…” — Andrew Wiggins’ Viral Practice Clip Has Fans FIGHTING in the Comments
July 7, 2025 — NBA fans are at it again, and this time, the target is none other than Andrew Wiggins.
A 30-second practice clip of the Golden State Warriors forward casually missing a few open jumpers and dunk attempts went viral late Sunday night on X (formerly Twitter). But it wasn’t the video itself that stirred controversy — it was the caption from a user with 75K followers:
> “He’s not THAT good… let’s be real.”
Within minutes, the post caught fire, igniting a heated debate among NBA fans, Warriors loyalists, and Wiggins skeptics. The clip quickly reached over 1.2 million views, with thousands of comments arguing over whether the former No. 1 pick is still a valuable NBA player — or just overhyped.
🔥 The Internet Reacts
Some users were quick to mock the video, saying it was “proof” that Wiggins lacks focus and consistency.
> “Dude looks like he just woke up from a nap,” one user commented.
“He plays like he’s trying not to sweat,” another joked.
Others rushed to his defense.
> “Y’all act like you’ve never seen anyone miss shots in practice,” said one Warriors fan.
“He locked up Jayson Tatum in the Finals and helped us win a chip. Respect the name.”
NBA players themselves often say that practice is where mistakes are meant to happen. Still, when you’re a high-profile player like Wiggins — who carries both the weight of past expectations and the stigma of inconsistency — even a casual clip can become cannon fodder for criticism.
🧠 The Bigger Picture
Andrew Wiggins is no stranger to online debates. Drafted first overall in 2014 by the Cleveland Cavaliers (then traded to Minnesota), Wiggins entered the league with sky-high expectations. After several underwhelming seasons with the Timberwolves, he was traded to Golden State in 2020 — a move many considered a gamble.
Fast forward to 2022: Wiggins became a crucial part of the Warriors’ championship run, earning praise for his elite perimeter defense and timely scoring. He was even selected as a starter for the All-Star Game that season — a fact his defenders brought up repeatedly in the comment section of the viral post.
📉 Recent Struggles, Real or Imagined?
The reality is that Wiggins has had an up-and-down past two seasons. Injuries and personal issues sidelined him for stretches of the 2023–24 campaign. While he bounced back in 2025 with improved shooting splits and solid defensive metrics, his role in the Warriors’ offense has become less central due to the emergence of younger players and the decline of Golden State’s championship core.
Still, most coaches and analysts agree that Wiggins remains one of the league’s better two-way wings — even if he’s not the superstar many once expected him to be.
🤷♂️ Social Media Never Forgets
Whether you think Wiggins is “just okay” or a silent killer on the court, one thing is clear: NBA Twitter/X is always ready to turn a casual clip into a courtroom trial.
In the end, it was just a practice — and maybe even a bad five minutes of one. But in the social media era, that’s all it takes to stir the pot.
