Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was over the moon after huge news broke out about the man who won Finals MVP over him in their first title. A player’s ambassador to the core, Andre Iguodala is very deserving of his new position. So, a quick congratulatory message was in order.

With Curry sharing the same opinion, the 2015 Finals MVP had a 4-word response to his teammate’s hyped congratulations.

The NBA’s players association continues to become a more important office by the day. With the player’s empowerment in full swing, the office serves as a bridge between the league and its most prolific employees. Due to such circumstances, authority figures for the association need to have the trust of the players and league alike.

For years, the duo of Chris Paul and CJ McCollum have led the roles in tandem. However, after a major health scare for the latter, strengthening the top was important. But thankfully, an immediate option was available.

Watch This Story: Warriors Star Says Stephen Curry Lost Temper In LA In A Rare Story With Controversial NBA Star

Taking up the role of Acting Executive Director of the NBPA, Iggy has found a new home. And his former teammate, the greatest shooter god ever created, was quick to congratulate him. “Big Moves @andre”. Soon enough, the 39-year-old was offering a quick thanks to his former Point Guard. “My brother! Thank you.” 

While Iguodala begins a new portion of his career, what shape is the league taking?

Iggy has a tough road ahead of him

After serving as the executive director for 2 years, Tamika Tremaglio resigned to pursue other opportunities. However, with an interim replacement in Iguodala, the association has a respected voice in place.

But, the interim tag could turn permanent if Andre performs at the expected level. With CP3 joining the Warriors in the offseason, Curry now has strong ties to 2 tenured members. While a strong brotherhood and bond continues to grow, the league could become a safe space for players.

With the players’ association effectively saying, “I Want Iguodala”, what do you think of the new role for the legend? Let us know in the comments below.
