In July 2017, Iguodala signed a three-year, $48M deal with Warriors. Many considered the Dubs crazy for agreeing to that. Many thought he was washed then.
With this new extension, Andre will have gotten $78M over five years — all negotiated and signed AFTER age 33

I’m really proud of the Bucks players. Agree or disagree is irrelevant. These are men, unified, making a sacrifice for the benefit of others. A generation dubbed entitled and self-centered. Yet here they are, standing up for others. That is always worthy of praise.

As vulnerable as Warriors have looked at times, this postseason is a reminder of the incredible difficulty of beating a team with healthy Steph/Klay/Draymond 4x in a series. When their peak is over, not many teams will be able to say they did it. The teams that do are exceptional

Curry had a bad shooting night from 3 but had a really good game. He was +15, had 8 assists with 1 TO and was great on defense.
