No playoffs
No dunk contest
No international ball
No social media presence ( 5-10 facials on Euros don't count)
3rd best player on team with no tradition

He hasn't earned a signature shoe

I honestly they thought that too Adidas made him the face for the crazy explosive made him the face





Andrew-Wiggins_adidas-Crazy-Explosive-17-6.jpg

This years version



He dropped the ball by not competing not participating in the dunk contest; Lavine killed him in the All-star voting last year, In Wiggins fashion, it took that get him out of slump where he lit up the wizards the next day







We don't need to see no more rim grazer Wiggins :hhh: he probably most explosive two-foot jumper in the league. Vince and Kobe were his idols he can show little showmanship in the dunks department, it's almost like he's embarrassed how effortless and high jumps, but when does get up against those bigs its:whoo:








Crazy thing is & @Miggs can confirm..he has some dunks that would compete with Zach but dude just won't do it.

He has dunks in his bag that would have won the contest in 2016.

Ive seen him do them going back to 2013, seen him in person do a 360 that finished with a left hand behind his head that had the crowd LIT...

He just wont do them in a contest or on a fastbreak for some reason...Im sick of mentioning it tbh,if i was on his team id be in his ear about it...Him holding back is why he doesnt have much of a profile in the league,its frustrating.

This is just a player edition, not a signature.

The low version of this was going to be John Wall's signature shoe before he left Adidas.

Devin Booker has a similar situation with Nike with his player edition Zoom Live

If he does the 720..Zach doesn't have a dunk better than that.

:mjlol: Even his own owner hesitated to give him that massive extension.

What's going on with Wiggins?
He needs to be more aggressive on offense, has all the tools to be a superstar in the vein of Tracy McGrady or Vince Carter cept with better defense

lillard and harden are both top 15 players in the league. u don't know what you're talking about

Lillard is not an A Level player. The A list is reserved for a select few.

Curry
KD
LeBron
Kawhi
Westbrook
AD
Harden

Everyone else are B level talent. And it's a big group but they are not on these guy's level. That's not a knock unless you're catching feelings on their behalf.

Lillard isn't the best at his position or second best or third. He's maybe top 5 at his position but there is a huge gap between 1 and 5.

You right on Harden, I omitted a sentence originally so that's on me.

Lillard is an A list. He top 15 in the league. Name me 15 players you'd rather have on your team

You're not understanding my point. There is a lot of great talent and Lillard is apart of that but he hasn't touched the upper echelon that his peers have. That is why he isn't A level. Curry changed the way the game is played.

KD, Kawhi and LeBron all alternate between best SF.

AD, Westbrook and Harden are triple double threats like a young LeBron.

Where is Lillard in this changing NBA game? What is he doing that puts him with these guys?

:stopitslime:

So he's not doing anything to put himself with these guys. Westbrook did the same ish and averaged a Triple Double.

The league changed guys like Lillard and Kyrie are cool to watch but can't expect to be in that upper echelon of players. Not everyone can be.
