Andre Iguodala’s Heartfelt Tribute to Steph Curry During Warriors’ Jersey Retirement Ceremony

The Golden State Warriors honored Andre Iguodala by retiring his jersey after their game against the Dallas Mavericks. Iguodala, a vital part of the Warriors’ success, won four championships and was named Finals MVP in 2015. His jersey retirement marks a significant moment, as he is the first player from this Warriors dynasty to receive such an honor.

The night was all about celebrating Iguodala’s impact on the team. In a light-hearted moment, he hinted during his speech that it’s time to celebrate Steph Curry next. “This is the beginning of the Steph Curry celebration,” he said, prompting a smile and a shake of the head from Curry.

Many familiar faces from the Warriors dynasty, including Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson, are still active players, but Green is the youngest at 34 years old. Curry joked about feeling old now that Iguodala’s jersey is up there, saying, “You left me with the title of the oldest Warrior.” It’s clear that age is starting to weigh on them as they reflect on their incredible journeys.

Curry has recently been thinking about retirement more often. While he hasn’t set a specific timeline, both he and the Warriors recognize they are in the later stages of his career. With this in mind, the team is eager to make the most out of their time with him. This desire for more success is why they traded for star player Jimmy Butler earlier this month. The Warriors are on a mission to add one more championship banner to their impressive collection.

When Curry eventually retires, it will signal the end of an incredible era for the Warriors. It’s almost certain that his jersey will join Iguodala’s in the Chase Center rafters, reminding everyone of the unforgettable moments they created together.
