Mitchell played 83 through 92, but he missed some time during that time period.

Let's see, what did happen with with his father? Let's see. He just passed away, Mitchell Wiggins, on September 9th, just before he turned 65.

Unfortunately.

He was suspended for cocaine use along with Lewis Lloyd, two and a half years back in the late 80s. But yes, so rest in peace to Andrew Wiggins' dad, Mitchell Wiggins. And then, brother Nick played at Wichita State.

Looks like he did not ever really make it into the NBA. But as for Andrew though, since October 29th, 2014, when he debuted, first overall pick, 2014 draft. Went to high school in Huntington, West Virginia, Kansas Jayhawk, Warriors number 22, one time All-Star, 2022 NBA Chomp, Warriors, 2014-15 Rookie of the Year, and All-Rookie team as well.

 “Yes, just wrote the fancy football AFFL right up for the week. Uncle Steve just told me, I'm coming for you, Viking Man. He is, oh, he says, passed you in points scored.

Oh, wow. I wanna say, oh, wow. Impressive.

I'll say it, low scoring.

So yes, so he is first in points scored. Uncle Steve, Viking Man, is four and four. 799, just about, points scored.

I have 784 and a half. So yes, my all play percentage is down to just under 49%. I'm in first place at seven and one.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. You know? Dude, look at this, all play percent.

I'm in first place, seven and one. Mine's 49%. Second place is 50%.

Third place, Pink Panthers at five and three. 63.6% tied for third. My brother, Goathouse.

So brother and sister tied for third. Also 63.6%, all play percent. And Uncle Steve is saying he's in fourth.

There's four teams tied at four and four. 71.6% is all play.

He's riding a two-game win streak. Dude, right? That's, it's kind of crazy how it just works out that way.

Sometimes better to be lucky.
