I just try to bring it every night in whatever way I can.
— Andrew Wiggins
It's not always easy to make a name for yourself. You've gotta earn it. Because nothing's ever given.
There's a perception of me out there that my effort is not there, but that's just he said, she said. A person says something, everyone believes it. But they're not there in the early mornings or when I work out.
If I do something wrong, make me pay for it.
When we play a team I know we're going to blow out or anything like that, I'm not as motivated.
I'm happiest when I'm hanging out at home or in my room.
For me, I have a bunch of friends back home in Canada who play online all the time - so we get mic'd up, join the same party, and just play. We are good enough to compete with 'Call of Duty' pros, so, the competition is what keeps bringing me back.
I guess I like the attention... well, I mean, I don't mind it. Sometimes it can be a lot. I deal with it, though.
Where I'm from, Toronto, is a big city.
College goes by so fast. I can see why people stay all four years.
When I get the opportunity, I try my best.
In the NBA, if you can't defend your position, they're going to go at you over and over again.
We can be as good as we want to be. I know that's a general thing to say, I know.
I want me and my teammates to go as far as we can and to be the best players that we all can be.
I want to win.
I just like watching good basketball being played.
The people you looked up to growing up, every great player has a signature shoe. That's why I wanted one. I want to walk around and see people wearing my shoe.
I know people expect a lot from me and want to see certain things when I play, but it's not really any pressure for me.
Real ballers who have been there and done that, I respect their opinion. But if you haven't been there and done that, you're entitled to your own opinion but I'm not really thinking too deep into it.
He went about things a certain way, but no one can say Thibs wasn't a good coach. He was a hell of a coach.
There's days where your shot's not falling.
When the big games come, I show up.
I just want to play my game for my team. I don't care about anyone else.
Someone is always watching or listening.
In high school and stuff I would watch Kobe clips.
Growing up, there was a rec center by my house and I used to always go there, play ping pong. I got better over the years. And me and my friends always played.
I love Minnesota.
I want to be on the All-Defensive team, be rookie of the year, make the All-Star team, all that type of stuff.
When I say that Kansas all rolls as one unit, they all roll as one unit. Like, everyone. They never leave anybody out.
I looked at my stats, and I was like, 'I'm too big and too athletic to average three rebounds a game.'
A lot of former players always say that college is a great basketball experience. The fans, going to school, being on campus... it's a great vibe.
I'm thankful for everything.
At a certain point in one's career, you want to win, not just have a great season. You want to win a championship.
Durant, man! Has that killer instinct.
It's part of being an elite player, you get attention.
At the end of the day I'm a basketball player. I'm going to try and shoot more threes than mid-range or long twos or whatever. But if someone gives you a shot, you're a basketball player, you got to make reads and play.
I've never been on the court not wanting to play.
I grew up playing defense all the time with my older brothers and the older players.
Even when I was growing up in Canada, I've always been a homebody.
I need my sleep.
I think every game in the NBA, I'm a lot better than I was before just by learning a lot.
Oh, I hate poutine. I tried it once - ugh. It wasn't for me.
The game of basketball is full of runs.
I watch everybody and tried to take bits and pieces from everybody.
It would have been harder for me to get rookie of the year in Cleveland than it would've been in Minnesota.
My senior year of high school, I probably wouldn't get so much out of it as if I went to college.
A lot of people can score. What else can you do?
I know that college is a big step from high school. So I wanted to make sure I was ready for it.
It is always tough to miss shots.
Every coach has a different style.
