The media has been pushing a Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins rivalry since high school. Wiggins was the top ranked high school prospect, while Parker was number two. The same order came to fruition during the NBA Draft.
Tonight, the two star rookies face off against each other for the first time at the NBA level. When Parker was asked about his relationship with Wiggins, the Chicago native had an interesting answer.
When asked if he and Wiggins were friends, Parker told reporters that he doesn't believe in long-distance relationships.
