Andrew Iguodala has come off the bench all season for the Warriors. That’s 77 regular season games and 15 postseason games. Before this season, Iguodala had never come off the bench once. He started all 82 games in 5 of his first 6 seasons in the NBA. Even last year with Golden State, he started all 63 games he appeared in. So becoming a 6th man must have been a tough sell from rookie coach Steve Kerr. If you needed evidence of that, just watch this clip of Iguodala talking about what a title means to him.
“If we win a championship, that will save me from kicking Steve Kerr’s ass for making me come off the bench.”
The clip comes from this ESPN video during the regular season. [via @AndrewRutberg, @outsidethenba]
