The last decade has been a golden era for the Warriors. A dynasty built on a solid roster and chemistry that all 29 NBA teams envied. While other franchises dreamed of securing just one title with their incredible teams, the Warriors won four. And the player who made it all possible was the team’s leader, Stephen Curry, as noted by the franchise’s former star.
The news came after the franchise announced that they would retire the No. 9 jersey of one of their dynasty’s key members, Andre Iguodala. The 41-year-old retired two years ago on October 20. But the ceremony will take place in February, following their game against the Mavericks. It’s certainly a special moment for Iguodala, who recently sat down with The Athletic’s Anthony Slater to reflect on his journey with the Blue and Yellow and revisit the memories.
One thing that popped up in the exclusive interview was Iguodala’s emotional confession about former teammate Stephen Curry. “I think I was the first one to realize how I can extend my career playing with Steph Curry … I hate making headlines. Don’t take it out of (context),” he stated. “Kevin Durant is the most talented basketball player I’ve ever seen. I’m including Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is the best, but I’m talking about talent. Nobody’s better than Kevin Durant. But without Stephen Curry, nobody’s jersey is going in the rafters.”
