Former Terp Aaron Wiggins proved he was ready for the moment during the NBA Finals between Oklahoma City and Indiana.

In a Game 2 Thunder win, Wiggins finished 5 of 8 from beyond the arc, tallying 18 points. In a Game 5 win, he went 4 of 7 from three, finishing with 14 points.

And when Oklahoma City celebrated its first-ever NBA title with a parade and rally, Wiggins channeled his inner WWE wrestler. He whipped the crowd into a frenzy with a stirring three-minute speech that told the history of the franchise and how the Thunder went from 24 wins in his rookie year to hoisting a championship trophy.
