On February 23rd, after the game vs the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors retired legendary sixth man Andre Iguodala’s jersey. Steph Curry gave an emotional speech as a tribute to the sixth man who stepped up.
“I think we all can feel it but this isn’t just about a number going into the rafters,” Curry said. “This is about a player who changed the course of our entire franchise. ... You were the first one to choose us, and that meant the world. For a team that knew we were good but didn’t know how to get to that next level, you unlocked so much confidence, so much IQ, so much maturity to what we did.
