During his 19 years in the NBA, Andre Iguodala has become an All-Star, four-time champion, and Finals MVP too.
But he has also remained very humble.
Warriors Nation, via “The Old Man and the Three,” posted a quote from Iguodala that shot down the idea of him being a future Hall of Famer.
“I’m not a Hall of Famer, if you ask me. No, no, no. Those guys [Hall of Famers] had no flaws. And I think I was good, but like Kobe… LeBron… C’mon man, I can’t do that,” Iguodala said.

Fans of the Warriors would push back against Iguodala’s claim that he’s not Hall-of-Fame material.
He did a whole lot for his teams.
Since starting with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2004, Iguodala averaged 11.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.
Those are good numbers but Iguodala did much more than that.
After helping the Warriors win their championship rings, he changed his approach to the game and became more of a player-coach.
He helped inspire players on the roster and spent less time on the court.
Last season, Iguodala only averaged 2.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists a game.
Iguodala never officially retired from the league so there is a chance that he could come back at some point and play again.
But it is very likely that he has hung up the jersey for good.
That means in a few years, Iguodala will be eligible for entry into the Hall of Fame.
He doesn’t think he’s worthy of that but will voters have a different opinion?
