The Golden State Warriors couldn’t have done it without him.<\/p>\n
Most fans associate the Warriors’ dynasty era with Stephen Curry<\/a>, Klay Thompson<\/a>, and Draymond Green<\/a> — their Big 3. Though it was a bit controversial, in the time that Kevin Durant<\/a> was with Golden State, he became a two-time NBA Finals MVP. However, Andre Iguodala<\/a> was there for the entire ride.<\/p>\n In 2013, Iguodala signed a four-year contract, $48 million with the Warriors, officially landing in the Bay with a three-team sign-and-trade. At the time, he was coming off of a solid season with the Denver Nuggets, though it was far from his best.<\/p>\n The ninth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Iguodala’s best individual stretch came with the Philadelphia 76ers. While entering the league as an explosive two-way playmaker, he quickly evolved into one of the better slashers. From 2006-07 –his third career season –to 2009-10, he averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. However, being the No. 1 scoring option didn’t seem to be his ambition. Because the Sixers had traded away Allen Iverson<\/a>, who’s now a Hall of Famer, they simply needed someone to step up.<\/p>\nWarriors Set To Retire Andre Iguodala’s Jersey<\/h2>\n
