Andrew Wiggins pushed Julius Randle to become a better basketball player

Andrew Wiggins and Julius Randle are two players who have carved great NBA careers. Coming into the league together, big things were expected of them. According to Randle, before they made it to the league, Wiggins served as motivation for him to improve his overall game.

"So, I was No. 1 in my class, right?" Randle said. "And then Andrew Wiggins, he was right below me, and then he reclassified. And here come this 6-8 Canadian, jumping out the gym motherf*****, between the legs, 360. He was the next one. "We had played in Peach Jam, and the gym was packed. The crowd was crazy. I remember, he got the best out of me, and I'm like, 'Man, what the hell?' I was hurt. I'm sick. I'm like, 'Bruh, I ain't never felt this.' "Going into the school year and team ball, I remember it motivated me, getting to a place super-motivated. I was like, 'Man, I gotta learn how to shoot the ball.' I say, Wiggs, he probably don't even know this. He was the one that pushed me."

Thanks to Wiggins, Randle pushed himself to become a star and is now a two-time All-Star for the New York Knicks.
