    So Steph’s saying he’s like a father figure to Wiggins

  2. Acrobatic-Year-126

    Never go with parent-child. Always for little brother

  3. Diamond4Hands4Ever

    This honestly sounds kinda disrespectful and Steph is my favorite player. 

  4. nothalaman

    Akron man becomes father figure of Cavs #1 overall pick

  5. Vegetable_Comment_82

    Wiggins is the guy that shows up late to work and I have to talk to him and say, you can’t show up late to work, the fuck is wrong with you, you’re an adult, this isn’t kindergarten.

  6. Affectionate_Box_587

    If this is Steph’s pep talk for Wigs, I can only immagine the talking to that Klay is in for

  7. acxswitch

    Only ask the #1 pick max contact to do what he’s capable of doing lol

  8. meesterjefe

    “I have one father, it’s my dad Mitchell Wiggins”

  9. lemur_nads

    Bro wtf type of comment is that lmao, that’s some shade

  10. Subredditcensorship

    Curry doesn’t really get enough hate for his poor leadership. I mean this is an insane comment

  11. FootballRacing38

    Stephen Curry is Andrew Wiggins Father

  12. GawldDawlg

    Steph brother, did you think before you opened your mouth?

  13. actual_yellow_bag

    lol, you never call someone your fuckin’ son

  14. biggoldgoblin

    He’s a grown ass man with kids and you talking about this being a father son situation? Nah that’s disrespectful as shit

  15. qpwoeor1235

    Hasn’t Wiggins dad been in the hospital for a while now? Steph his new father figure?

  16. DankTriangle

    Well this is just free content for r/nbacirclejerk

  17. speeksevil

    “Not to say he’s a child”

    Yeah that makes it better

  18. -crackhousebob

    Jimmy Butler had to be one of those over-bearing military dads towards Wiggins and KAT in Minnesota because they weren’t all that motivated. Apparently, they played too much video games on the road 😂😂

  19. CelinedionWaiters

    I’m not even gonna argue that this comment isn’t a bit off, but I just find it funny how the same people in this thread can disrespect Wiggins throughout his career but this is where they decided at to draw the line.

  20. Icy-Lime-9760

    The parent child thing is always disrespectful I’m sorry lol

  21. ShadowOutOfTime

    Am I missing some context or is this an absolutely crazy thing to say about your coworker / another grown adult lol

  22. MassiveTelevision387

    I can kinda see how Wiggins comes off as goofy/immature but for Curry to say that in public is definitely wrong, even if it is true. I’m guessing dude’s just irate and/or wants Wiggins gone.

  23. cmgr33n3

    Wiggins: Honestly, I don’t know how to answer that. He’s been a great leader for us. I have one father, that’s my dad Wardell Stephen Curry II.

  24. Flashy-Swimmer4415

    Wiggins has issues and they are obvious. How can anyone who really follows the NBA be made at Steph for saying this. Since last year, the Warriors let Wiggins leave the team twice for weeks on end due to “personal reasons” while paying him millions of dollars. All in an attempt to keep Wiggs happy, but Wiggs has played even worse.

    Call any employer and see if this shit would fly. I think Wiggins is mentally handicapped if I am to be honest. So what if Wiggins has children, IQ and logic are not required for that.

  25. EndlessDysthymia

    It’s not that bad with the video but there was a better way to word it. If you listen to the whole thing, he was actually hyping him up. But still, kind of irresponsible wording to use. 

  26. Muskarat

    Reminds me of when some reporter asked Kyrie if LeBron was a father figure

  27. dogoodsilence1

    Now do Draymond. He’s like that drunken Uncle who lives in the past and beats the shit out of you for no reason

  28. Low_Ad_7553

    LMFAO curry said I might not be your father I am ya daddy

  29. anonymousetache

    “… …he’s a child” ~ Steph Curry on Andrew Wiggins

  30. WholeWideHeart

    I think he’s talking about a psychological block that is connected to one’s confidence. He knows his value and wants to see him elevate to his fullest potential. We all have that friend or family member who shrinks for inexplicable reasons.

  31. A reporter asks Andrew Wiggins about Steph’s statement about him being a father figure to Andrew.

    Andrew Wiggin’s reply.

    I don’t know how to really answer that question. He’s been a great leader for us. I have one father, that’s my dad Mitchell Wiggins. But for us, in terms of learning the nuances of the game and also how to win on the court and how to carry ourselves off the court, I feel he’s been a great influence in that role.

  32. Neljoshie

    I honestly don’t see anything wrong with Steph’s comment, and while we’re at it, I don’t find anything wrong with the Kyrie-Lebron comment either. 😂

  33. FrankSamples

    Lol I don’t know how I would react to this if I were Wiggins

  34. FrankSamples

    Lol I don’t know how I would react to this if I were Wiggins

  35. No_Fishing_702

    Try this with any of your co-workers lmao.

    Kinda feel bad for Steph, he clearly didn’t mean nothing and just had one of those moments we all have misspeaking. It is funny tho, the “not to say he is a child” killed me 😂

  36. terry496

    Better left out of a conversation with a reporter.

  37. tamsiujun

    does that means steph is doncic’s grandfather?

  38. Jtizzle1231

    Steph is basically saying Wiggins is mentally weak.

  39. LyonsKing12

    Steph will come to realize the Wiggins from the finals run is the exception, not the rule.

  40. Able_Psychology3665

    Weird statement to make. These are grown men…

  41. Counterspell_God

    I’m starting to think Curry sent that reporter to Kyrie…
