Of course, the performer needed to get a look at this stage pre-performance, right?

He met some of the players too! Of course, everyone who knows BamBam is familiar with his iconic “Young and Rich” persona. The man just radiates it! So, Warriors player Festus Ifeanyi Ezeli shared a clip of teammate Andre Iguodala on his Instagram Stories, admiring BamBam’s fit, including an expensive watch. BamBam even cheekily responded on Twitter!
hahahaha he know wassup

We can’t blame Andre’s reaction, honestly. That watch looks like something owned by Doctor Strange!

Of course, the moment we have all been waiting for arrived! BamBam and Andrew Wiggins met in person for the first time after the idol helped the athlete become an All-Star starter.
It was cool getting to meet him…I enjoyed it.

Festus was feeding Ahgases so well by sharing even more behind-the-scenes moments from BamBam’s visit.
Wiggins and BamBam are truly an iconic duo!
