How he impacts the Golden State Warriors

The partnership between Iguodala and Curry is nothing new. Yet, it has been rejuvenated through this early play. Iggy just doesn’t hide all of his appreciation for Steph off-court, but when it’s time to ball, the results are masterful.

In 2021-2022, the Warriors outscore opponents by 28 points per 100 possessions when Curry and Iggy share the floor prior to their overtime game with Memphis, one of the best Warrior duos in this category.

If we go back to the Dubs’ 73-9 season, Andre and Steph outscored opponents by 22 when playing together.

Since then, one thing did not change: If you can make Steph thrive, you are also on the pace to be a victor. These are promising signs for an aging 38-year-old player who just refuses to show signs of slowing things down.

Iguodala is back home. And it seems like he’s also going back in time, somehow. The player that once helped mold a dynasty is bringing back culture, identity – and wins – to the franchise. Who knows what’s the next step?
