“Might Have Woke Up a Sleeping Giant”: Andre Iguodala Calls Out “New Favorite Player” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for His Ultimate Warriors Disrespect
Follow Us
The Golden State Warriors started their season strong, but things soon got worse. With Andrew Wiggins struggling to find his rhythm, Stephen Curry getting injured, and Draymond Green getting a five-game suspension, the Warriors struggled for a win. As a result, they lost six straight games before securing a victory against the Houston Rockets. Their most recent loss came against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who swept the Warriors in a 130-123 overtime victory.
In the matchup against the OKC Thunder, Curry scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists in his first match after a knee injury. Despite a good performance, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander discarded the Curry hype in his viral Instagram post of clips solely showing him outplaying Curry. The former Warrior superstar, Andre Iguodala, addressed this disrespect while seemingly issuing a warning in the process.
