Fresh off losing the 2019 Finals, Golden State Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala visited ESPN’s First Take on Monday to open up about Kevin Durant’s impending free agency decision, and the unfair criticism the Warriors feel Steph Curry receives from the media and other players around the league.

“I’ve never seen a guy that’s so humble and have such a good heart receive so much hate. What he’s done for the game of basketball, it’s incredible, and he’s going to continue to do it.” “I think we feel it from guys in the league, and we feel it in the media. I think it’s… he’s carrying a whole shoe brand, you know. He’s got his own media company. He’s doing so many great things…. It’s envy.”

Iguodala is right with one thing: Curry has done a lot for the game of basketball. He continually displays good character despite being the topic of so much criticism. He continues to perform at the highest level despite not being the biggest, strongest, or fastest player on the floor.

This past season, we saw Curry lead a hobbled team through the playoffs. He posted over 27 points per game while shooting at an All-Time high stroke from three. For the 2019-20 campaign, without Thompson or Durant, will he do it again?

No matter how much you hate him, he has given us reasons not to doubt him before…
