Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson, who won a championship together with the Golden State Warriors, are officially reuniting this season in Miami with the Heat. Wiggins is already buzzing with high praise for the legendary sharpshooter, signaling a potentially huge shift for the Eastern Conference.
Wiggins Crowns Thompson a ‘1-of-1’ Competitor
The energy is already different in Miami, according to Wiggins. He called Thompson “one of the most competitive people I played with,” which, let’s be real, is a massive compliment coming from a champ. Wiggins is pumped to have him on the squad, saying Thompson “is going to fill the locker room with joy.” He didn’t stop there, either, declaring Thompson “He’s one of one. He brings that championship mentality to the team and this is a year that we can do something special and he’s someone that can be a big part of it.” That’s the kind of talk that sets the tone for a locker room, isn’t it?
Miami’s Blockbuster Roster Is Complete
This reunion comes after the Heat already pulled off a blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier this summer. Even with Giannis, the team desperately needed shooting. Miami, working with not much cap space, still managed to land one of the best shooters ever after Thompson agreed to a buyout with the Dallas Mavericks. Now, they’ve got what looks like a complete roster with Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo dominating the paint and Thompson and Wiggins taking the wings. It’s a squad that looks absolutely dangerous on paper.
The question now, though, is whether this Miami Heat roster has enough to compete in what everyone knows is a stacked Eastern Conference. With Wiggins hyping Thompson like this, the reunion season for these two champions in Miami is definitely one to watch.
