Wiggins fires back after Stephen Jackson accuses him of having no heart
Andrew Wiggins wasn't going to sit idly by and let former NBA forward and current ESPN analyst Stephen Jackson accuse him of having no heart.
When news broke Wednesday that Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Jimmy Butler had reportedly requested a trade from the franchise, Wiggins' older brother, Nick, posted a jovial tweet in response to the news.
Jackson chimed in on Nick's tweet late Wednesday evening in an Instagram video. He called out Andrew for not having heart like Butler does, essentially advising him to travel down the yellow brick road from "The Wizard of Oz" to find one.

Jackson then reminded Wiggins of his numbers over the course of his 14-year career, and the fact that he won a championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2003.
