Lost in the hype of Kobe Bryant passing MJ on the all-time scoring list was the chance to see Andrew Wigging vs. Kobe. Sure, it was the Lakers vs. T’Wolves, but you get the point. If you’re sold on Wiggins turning into something down the line, then this matchup meant something to you.
After the game, Kobe was asked about Wiggins and had some high praise.
Kobe: "I remember being Andrew Wiggins…It's like looking at a reflection of myself 19 years ago."
