4. He loves animals

Wiggins has always made it clear he loves his dog, but there’s much more to it than just a human-pet relationship.

Back in late 2016, the Timberwolves man adopted a puppy from Happy Tails Rescue in Minneapolis.

Emily Armstrong [above], an employee of Happy Tails, spoke of his act of kindness of adopting the dog:

"Thank you Andrew Wiggins for saving a life. Adopt and you too can buy love. Be like an NBA star when money is no object and he chose to adopt. So much respect."

Not only that, but you need only follow the main man on Instagram to see his affection for his compatriot.

Every other picture usually ends up relating to his four-legged pal.

Also, anyone who became fed up of photos of Cassie was met with:

"Let me know when you get tired of me posting Cassie… so I can go ahead and post some more."

Also, do we see a personalized dog bone too with Wiggins’ number? Now that is true admiration.
