While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-defending-domantas-sabonis-stomp">Green reflected on controversial moments throughout his career</a>, he chimed in on the criticism that followed Durant for joining a team he and the Thunder had a 3-1 lead against in the Western Conference Finals.</p><p>Green pointed out that Iguodala, who played for the Denver Nuggets in 2012-13, did the same as Durant when the Warriors eliminated Denver, 4-2, in the Western Conference quarterfinal series before Andre joined Golden State the following summer. Still, Iguodala <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIt1OxDX0Wg" rel="noopener">never faced the kind of backlash</a> that pursued Durant, Green said via Kai Cenat’s live stream.</p><p>“They’re really only hating because it’s KD. Because Andre Iguodala did the same thing. We beat them in the playoffs. He signed with the Warriors,” Green said. “So people only hating like that because he’s KD. Hell, Andre Iguodala did the same thing — nobody said a word. Also, we lost. The difference between losing a championship and winning it — I just told you — it’s drastic. Like, you don’t get a token for making it to the Finals.</p><p>“We f****** lost. There’s no guarantee we’re ever going back. So, when he came and joined the team, he didn’t join some championship team. We just f****** lost,” Green concluded.</p><p>Still, many viewed Kevin Durant’s as a traitor. Given how close the Thunder were to beating the Warriors, Durant was the subject of ridcule for forming one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Alongside All-Stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Green, KD and the Warriors would go onto win back-to-back championships in 2017 and 2018.</p><h2><b>Warriors’ Draymond Green defends Domantas Sabonis stomp</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Warriors-Draymond-Green.jpg"><figcaption>Kelley L Cox-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Warriors veteran Draymond Green knows what it’s like to be the face of controversy.

The Warriors were led by a 36-point <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-goat-take-steve-kerr-game-3-masterpiece">performance from Stephen Curry</a>, who held down the fort in the absence of co-star Jimmy Butler, still recovering from a hard fall he took in Game 1.</p><p>Still, Butler made his impact on the game felt by constantly cheering on his teammates from the sidelines as well as giving advice during timeouts. After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr lauded Butler’s leadership <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1916344883423347065" rel="noopener">and also complimented</a> his impeccable fashion sense.</p><p>“First, he had a fantastic coat on,” said Kerr, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. “He’s so smart. He reminds me so much of Andre Iguodala, incredible basketball IQ and the ability to communicate what he’s seeing to see his teammates from the bench.”</p><p>Basketball IQ was indeed one of the major reasons that the Warriors were motivated to bring in Butler at this past trade deadline. Butler has made several deep playoff runs throughout his career with the Miami Heat and is helping to impart that wisdom on some of his younger Warriors teammates in this series, even while he’s out of action.</p><h2>A<b> big opportunity for the Warriors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Draymond-Green-2_038cb4.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There’s a chance that Butler could return to the lineup for the Warriors on Monday evening when they look to take a 3-1 stranglehold on this series. Warriors fans are well-versed in the fact that 3-1 leads are not foolproof, but the team would still feel very confident about its chances should they put this young Rockets squad on the brink of elimination.</p><p>If Butler is indeed able to return, it would take a lot of the pressure off of Stephen Curry offensively, which in turn could allow him to also use more of his energy on the defensive end of the floor.</p><p>It would also allow head coach Steve Kerr to sit Curry a bit more than he was able to during Saturday’s game.</p><p>In any case, Game 4 between the Rockets and Warriors is slated for Monday evening at 10:00 PM ET from the Chase Center.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

DiVincenzo noted how Iguodala’s ability to stay mentally and physically prepared despite limited minutes stood out.</p><p>“So somebody like him who’s had [a] helluva career and you’re not playing and you can be like, ‘alright, I’m not playing for the whole season,’” DiVincenzo said. “But then when you’re thrown in there to still be productive is super hard to do.”</p><p>DiVincenzo played in 72 games with the Warriors that season, averaging 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 43.5% from the field and 39.7% from three-point range. Golden State’s title defense ended in the second round of the 2023 playoffs with a six-game loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.</p><p>Though Iguodala’s statistical output declined in his final years, his veteran presence remained vital. The Warriors acknowledged his contributions with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-andre-igoudala-final-thank-you-message-jersey-ceremony">jersey retirement ceremony during their Feb. 23 matchup against the Dallas Mavericks</a>, which Golden State won at Chase Center. The event honored his pivotal role in the franchise’s four championships between 2015 and 2022.</p><p>Iguodala played eight seasons with the Golden State Warriors across two stints, appearing in 452 regular-season games and averaging 6.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals. He added another 111 playoff games with the franchise, highlighted by his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-drops-andre-iguodala-truth-ahead-of-jersey-retirement">2015 NBA Finals MVP performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers</a>.</p><p>DiVincenzo’s remarks reinforce the behind-the-scenes value Iguodala brought to the Warriors, especially in the latter stages of his career. As Golden State continues to recognize the foundational pieces of its dynasty, Iguodala’s influence remains a benchmark for professionalism and preparation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Golden State Warriors</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Sunday night was quite the good one for the Golden State Warriors. Not only did they move to 5-1 in the Jimmy Butler era by defeating the Dallas Mavericks, 126-102, they also honored one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-message-andre-iguodala-jersey-retirement">pillars of their near-decade-long dynasty in Andre Iguodala</a>, retiring his jersey number nine and hanging it on the Chase Center rafters, never to be worn by any other player in the franchise.</p><p>Iguodala was part of the Warriors from 2013 to 2019, and then he rejoined the team in 2021, winning four championships in the process. He’s so ingrained within the franchise’s culture that there were certainly plenty of unforgettable moments that the team shared with him throughout his illustrious stint with the team. Regardless, one memory stands out for Stephen Curry — even nearly 10 years later after it happened.</p><p>Speaking to reporters after the Warriors’ win over the Mavericks, Curry revealed that <a href="https://twitter.com/KNBR/status/1893829485088186855" rel="noopener">his favorite memory</a> of Iguodala came after their 2015 NBA Finals triumph when the former saw the latter drink a shot of heavy liquor.</p><p>“He wasn’t a big drinker. After we won the first championship in Cleveland, having a first shot with him. That was a big moment. It took a championship to get him to take a shot of tequila,” Curry said, via KNBR on X (formerly Twitter). “He loosened some of his personal rules and had a good night with us. So he promised us that and he came through.”</p><p>https://twitter.com/KNBR/status/1893829485088186855</p><p>Iguodala had been living a straight-edge lifestyle, eschewing vices and totally dedicating himself to his craft. So for him to let loose and decide that having a drink (or maybe two) was worth it will live long in Curry and the Warriors’ collective memory. And considering how big of an achievement winning a championship is, not to mention four of them, then surely that drink was worth it even for someone who does not drink alcohol.</p><h2><b>Stephen Curry and the Warriors want Andre Iguodala</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Andre-Iguodala-and-Stephen-Curry.jpg"><figcaption>David Richard-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There’s no coincidence that the Warriors, throughout Stephen Curry’s tenure, haven’t been able to win a championship without the services of Andre Iguodala. Iguodala may not have won a Sixth Man of the Year award for his career, but the way he changed the dynamic of the team with his defense, passing, and overall knowledge of the team’s system makes him one of the team’s most important pillars.</p><p>Iguodala helped raise the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-drops-andre-iguodala-truth-ahead-of-jersey-retirement">level of maturity and professionalism in the Warriors’ locker room</a>, conducting himself as a role model for everyone to emulate. And that is simply the cherry on top of his incredible contributions to the team’s championship hopes.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For the Golden State Warriors, they have been in a state of transition over the past few years, and this past offseason, they most notably lost Klay Thompson in free agency to the Dallas Mavericks — officially ending the Splash Brothers era that netted the Dubs four championship rings.</p><p>But on Sunday night, during the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-andre-iguodala-announces-golden-state-honor">Warriors’ jersey retirement ceremony</a> for one of the most important players of their dynasty, Andre Iguodala, Thompson went out and showed the love even after him and the Mavs were on the receiving end of a 126-102 loss. Thompson and Iguodala shared the same locker room for nearly a decade and came out of that time together as two of the most successful players in Golden State history, so it’s no surprise that Thompson <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGb0ABlOfLy/?hl=en&amp;img_index=2" rel="noopener">decided to pop out</a> and witness history.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="instagram-media"><div style="padding: 16px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGb0ABlOfLy/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="line-height: 0; padding: 0 0; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; width: 100%;" target="_blank"> <div style="display: flex;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div><div style="display: flex;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div><div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px;"><div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"></div><div style="display: flex; margin-bottom: 14px;"><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 20px; width: 20px;"></div><div></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto;"><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div style="display: flex; margin-bottom: 24px;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"></div><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; width: 144px;"></div></div><p></p></a><p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGb0ABlOfLy/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">A post shared by NBA on ESPN (@nbaonespn)</a></p></div></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>There may be questions as to whether or not the Warriors treated Thompson as well as they could have in light of his decline in recent years, but make no mistake about it, the franchise knows how to honor the players that were invaluable to their championship runs. Iguodala is one of them; he sacrificed personal stats and glory and became the Sixth Man for three championship-winning teams, even winning NBA Finals MVP honors in 2015.</p><p>Thompson and Iguodala have built quite the strong rapport over the years, and nothing, not even the former’s decision to join the Mavericks or the latter’s decision to retire, would ever change that. And it should not be long before the Warriors hang Thompson’s iconic number 11 in the rafters alongside Iguodala’s number nine.</p><h2><b>Andre Iguodala helped define the Warriors’ decade of greatness</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Andre-Iguodala-and-Stephen-Curry-during-a-game.jpg"><figcaption>© Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Little did everyone know back in 2013 when the Warriors signed Iguodala that he would become part one of the most iconic dynasties in NBA history. And when Steve Kerr came in and became the team’s head coach, Iguodala willingly sacrificed his starting role for the greater good, showing why he was the ultimate glue guy.</p><p>In 2022, Iguodala’s impact was felt even though he was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-klay-thompson-speaks-out-on-andre-iguodala-unseen-impact-on-golden-state">no longer a part of the Warriors’ playoff rotation</a>. He became the team’s elder statesman and a crucial veteran who was in the ear of Thompson and fellow wing Andrew Wiggins at all times. Iguodala may not be the flashiest player in the world, but he is the quintessential fill-in-the-gaps player who, in the immortal words of Max Kellerman, can save planet Earth when the “Martians have the death beam” pointed on the planet.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
