Andrew Wiggins Destroys Jabari Parker With Violent Block (Video)
By Josh Hill
Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker in the NBA Draft went head-to-head on Wednesday night and the result was one of the most violent blocks we’ve seen all season long.
Andrew Wiggins was the first overall pick in the NBA Draft this year, but the fact that he was traded away by the Cleveland Cavaliers before he could even debut with the team in the preseason is clearly a chip on his shoulder this year.

Wiggins squared off against the Milwaukee Bucks and second overall pic Jabari Parker on Wednesday night in a battle that has already turned into a great rivalry. Parker and Wiggins have high expectations to become the stars of their draft class, but if it’s up to Wiggins then he’s going to be the one carrying the torch.

There’s getting nasty on a block and then there’s what Wiggins did to Parker. It wasn’t just that Wiggins has a bone to pick with the NBA, it’s that he truly wants to be a star and is trying his hardest to lift the lowly Timberwolves in any way he can.
A vicious block doesn’t always win games, but Wiggins is playing a lot better than anyone thought he would and that block was as cathartic a block as we’ve seen all season.
