The Golden State Warriors have done it! Naysayers said that their dominance has come to an end, but Stephen Curry had plans to prove all his doubters wrong. After being riddled with injuries for the past few years, and being at the bottom-most position of the standings, Steve Kerr’s boys have shown a lot of resilience and have won the 2022 NBA Championship.

This GSW squad has several first-time champions including the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole, among many others. However, the case of James Wiseman seems to be the most amusing of all.
The 2nd pick of the 2021 Draft had an impressive rookie year averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in the 39 games he played. However, the seven-foot big man missed the entirety of the 2021-202 campaign after complications stemming from knee surgery in April 2021.
Despite having played 0 games this season, Wiseman will have an NBA title on his resume.

Hate him all you want, he can call himself an NBA champion.
Over the past few months, we have seen the 21-year-old progress on the court. It is only about time we get to watch the big fellow in action at the Summer League.
