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 Legend.

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.
