Andre Iguodala's Instant Impact in Warriors Return
The 14-15 and 15-16 seasons for the Golden State Warriors were defined obviously by the offensive juggernaut that was the Curry-Thompson-Green trio, but they were also defined by a phrase which gave the bench mob and non-star members of the team the credit they deserved: Strength In Numbers. The two best examples of the bench guys who moved from starting roles their whole careers to bench leaders on the Dubs were David Lee (now retired and spiritually succeeded by Nemanja Bjelica) and Andre Iguodala (who last year didn’t look like he was going to be in the league much longer).

Stephen A. Smith Floats Championship Potential For Warriors
For the first time since 2015, the Golden State Warriors won each of their first three games of the season, and this start has been met with enthusiasm.
