Great price for Andre Iguodala! The Golden State Warriors They announced that they would withdraw the jersey with the number ‘9’ in honor of the American forward, who will see an appearance with his name taking its place on the roof of the Chase Center. This beautiful moment will take place in the match with their Mavericks On February 23.
‘Andre can be described as one of the most smart, unique and successful Players who ever wore the Warriors jersey. We thought all this could be done when we got it in 2013, but the reality –Four titles, six entries in finals, a final MVP award– It even overcome our craziest imagination.
Were the perfect player And man at the perfect time for our team and the sacrifice he did when he came off the bench in 2014 sent a message that he came here to help us do one thing: to win. Proof lies on our roof and its number will now be next to the banners that helped us to lift up ‘, said the owner of the Warriors, Joe Lacob.
THE Iguodala He played a total of 8 seasons at the Warriors, won 4 championships with them and came out of the 2015 MVPs, mainly because of the great defense he played in the LeBron James. Average in his career he measured 11.3 points, 5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 steals In 1,231 regular games.
It is worth noting that the Warriors have withdrawn just 6 other jerseys, those of Wilt Chamberlain, Chris Malin, Nate Tarmond, Alvin Atles, Rick Barry and Tom Messeri. Of course, when they retire, the same will happen with their Steph Curry, Clay Thompson and Dreimont Green.
A Lasting Legacy.
