Andrew Wiggins: BETTER or WORSE than LeBron James?
Let’s take a look at the facts.
[DRAFT POSITION]
Wiggins: Drafted first overall
LeBron: Drafted first overall
Who wins? it’s a tie
[TEAM AS OF THIS WRITING]
Wiggins: Minnesota Timberwolves
LeBron: Cleveland Cavaliers
Who wins? LeBron
[BASKETBALL SKILL]
Wiggins: Is a threat to score in many ways. His game is already very mature for his age. I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I’m thinking HOF for sure. He’s only going to get better as his team improves around him and he has multiple off-seasons working with NBA-quality trainers.
LeBron: Carried his injured team to the finals and then single-handedly kept them competitive. We are all witnesses. He might have already peaked but he’s still the best player in the league.
Who wins? LeBron for now
[QUALITY OF TEAMMATES]
Wiggins: Ricky Rubio? Nikola Pekovic? Kevin Martin? Yawn.
LeBron: He gets to play with Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. If you don’t think that’s a big three then I’ve got a big three you can suck: my dick and balls.
Who wins? LeBron
[QUALITY OF CITY]
Wiggins: Minneapolis is pretty much the best city in the upper midwest. It snows a lot but it’s really cosmopolitan and truly deserves the title of “world-class city”.
LeBron: Have you ever heard anybody say, “I’m going to Cleveland on vacation”? It’s just depressing there. In 1950 the population was 914,000 and it was the seventh biggest city in the US. Then everybody realized what a hole Cleveland was. Now the population is under 400,000 and it barely cracks the top 50. Plus it snows a lot and all they have to show for it are a bunch of abandoned houses filled with broken furniture and broken dreams.
Who wins? Wiggins
[INTERNATIONAL ACCOLADES]
Wiggins: Is from Canada.
LeBron: Won some international FIBA stuff or maybe the Olympics, blah blah blah, who cares. Nobody, that’s who.
Who wins? Wiggins
[SHOT SELECTION]
Wiggins: Settles for outside jumpers too often.
LeBron: Settles for outside jumpers too often, especially when he gets tired, but since he did it in the Finals, his failures were more visible. Don’t try to make excuses about how he had to play too many minutes and how the second-best offensive threat on his team was JR Smith. I don’t want to hear it. LeBron failed on the biggest stage. Wiggins failed on the smallest stage.
Who wins? Wiggins
[HAIRLINE]
Wiggins: Perfect hairline which looks like it was lifted straight from the sketchbook of Michelangelo himself.
LeBron: Has to use hair plugs/hair-in-a-can/black permanent marker to make it look like he possesses a full head of hair. Estimated amount of years until the top of his head looks like Manu Ginobili’s: 1.5
Who wins? Wiggins
FINAL VERDICT: Andrew Wiggins is BETTER than LeBron James.
