Veteran forward Andre Iguodala has compiled a pretty impressive resume during his 19 years in the NBA that includes four NBA titles and NBA Finals MVP honors. Despite this, Iguodala remains realistic about his achievements and doesn’t believe he’s up there with the greatest that ever played the game.
During a recent appearance on The Old Man and the Three podcast, hosted by former NBA player JJ Reddick, Iguodala said that he doesn’t consider himself a Hall of Famer.
“I’m not a ring culture guy, but I’ve benefitted from that,” Iguodala said. “I know I have a lot of flaws. We were talking about I think there should be tiers of the Hall of Fame. I’m not a Hall of Famer if you ask me.”
Iguodala added that he considers himself a good basketball player but not as good to be in the same conversation with the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan.
Andre Iguodala started his career with the Philadelphia 76ers and had a short stint with the Denver Nuggets before joining the Golden State Warriors in 2013. While never putting up eye-catching numbers, Igoudala is credited for playing a significant role in the Warriors dynasty, which won four NBA championships between 2015 and 2022. He was a difference-maker with his defense while providing leadership on and off the court.
Iguodala was limited to only eight games last season, dealing with hip and wrist injuries. The 39-year-old previously said that the 2022-23 will be his last season as a pro but is yet to confirm his retirement.
