Andre Iguodala doesn’t play much for the Warriors anymore, but he continues to give voice, including defending his teammates. In this case, he has just badly reframed an opponent who was a bit too provocative… although he was one of his great friends, all the same.
To say that the tension is palpable on the side of the Warriors would be far from being unreasonable, at this moment. With only nine wins for ten losses, the defending champion officially missed the first quarter of his 2022-23 season. The 11th place occupied within the Western conference is far from corresponding to Californian ambitions… Obviously, the galleys of Stephen Curry & co. delight the competition across the league, which sees an opportunity to overtake them.
As a result, the opposing players no longer have a tendency to hold back when discussing the case of the Dubs, dropping here and there well-felt spades. However, do not count on the men of the Bay to let it go, starting with Andre Iguodala. The MVP of the 2015 Finals, for example, recently released the sulfateuse, after being trolled by Mikal Bridges. The Suns winger took it badly for his rank!

Andre Iguodala “Invest in yourself is the best thing to do”
Mikal Bridges : Well said, old man
Andre Iguodala : Hurry up to score a triple-double… It took me 60 games to achieve it, you will need 600
A small clarification is necessary: Iggy and Bridges are friends outside the courts and even train together during the off-season. But the one who finished on the DPOY podium last year has been causing Golden State quite a bit lately, in particular by getting into trouble with Klay Thompson during the last match between the two franchises. The veteran therefore wanted to send the young player back to his studies, which many fans appreciated:

Forget about the triple double, how about a ring? ????

Forget the triple-double, we’re talking about a ring?
We can’t wait to see Mikal Bridges cross swords again with the Warriors on January 11. In addition to the treatment that the Californian public will reserve for him, his exchanges with Andre Iguodala could also be worth a look throughout the meeting.
