It is no secret that Sixers fans never warmed to Iguodala, whether it was because of his standoffish personality or because they perhaps unfairly expected more out of him. Whatever it was, it was pretty apparent that Collins tried to sell Iguodala to the fans and media throughout the season, calling him the best on-ball defender in the league, campaigning for Iguodala to make the All-Star team and all-defensive teams. Iguodala did make his first All-Star appearance last season after being named second-team all-defensive the prior season. Iguodala was on the USA team that won gold in the world championships in 2011 and the Olympic team that captured gold in London this summer.
