Andrew Wiggins may have benefited from the most ambitious crossover event of all-time: the NBA and K-Pop.
The Golden State Warriors forward was the surprise of the day on Thursday when he was announced as one of the five All-Star starters for the Western Conference this year. It was a stunning development, especially since Wiggins had never been made a single All-Star team before and is averaging a solid but definitely not spectacular 18-4-2 line this season.
Wiggins actually finished behind Utah center Rudy Gobert and Warriors teammate Draymond Green in both the media and player vote, which are weighted 25% each. But Wiggins earned the nod because he got far more of the fan vote, which is weighted 50%, than those two players.
