Every loyal Dubs fan knows about the crunch 3-pointer from Kyrie Irving during Game 7 of 2016 NBA Finals. And former Golden State Warriors star Andre Iguodala doesn’t seem to have forgotten it. Years after the heart-breaking series loss, Iggy gave flashbacks of the game in his recent podcast. Moreover, he didn’t just stop at that, but also left a former Warriors star stunned with his controversial take on Stephen Curry.

In the latest episode of Gil’s Arena, the show featured a short clip from Iguodala’s recent podcast, where he said he would fear Irving over Steph during a crunch situation. When the host asked Iggy whom he would be most scared of in playoffs, he sided with Uncle Drew without hesitation. Iggy said, “It’s not even close,” and went to highlight the iconic 2016 Finals Game 7 bucket.

And speaking of Steph, he said, “With Steph… proven the teams that you can double him and if you just to get the ball out of his hands… that’s the way to combat him. But with Kyrie. He is just so good.” The Arenas crew turned silent for a moment after witnessing the harsh take. However, former Dubs star Gilbert Arenas, who was also shocked for a moment, later laid out a unique perspective backing Iguodala’s take.

While the rest of crew were still taking Stephen Curry‘s side, Arenas barged in with a different perspective. He argued that the Baby-faced Assassin didn’t face much of crunch time during his prime time.

Arenas said, “It’s not his fault… During most of his career… He was blowing people out… You want to think about who hits game winners, and Steph won’t come in here because he never had to do them because f***ing blow you out.”

However, in this season alone, Stephen Curry has pulled off three crucial game winners for the Dubs against tough opponents. Let’s take a look at them.

Stephen Curry – tough game-winner this season

Firstly, the deep three-pointer against the Suns at Chase Center stands right at the top of the list. With less than 3 seconds left on the clock, Curry had time only to collect the ball and shoot it to take the lead. And he did it.

Secondly, during the Celtics’ visit to the Bay Area, the game went into overtime and Steph dropped a crucial three-pointer to balloon the lead and pulled out his Night Night celebration.
