Inanunsyo ng Golden State na kanilang ireretiro ang No. 9 jersey ni Andre Iguodala matapos ang anim na seasons nito sa Warriors.
Sa pahayag ni Golden State co-chairman and CEO Joe Lacob na malaki ang pasasalamat nila sa naging kontribusyon ni Iguodala, na tumalon na sa Memphis Grizzlies, sa pananatili nito sa koponan.
“As we look back six years [after signing Iguodala], we actually underestimated what his value would be to our team, both on the court and in the locker room. In what has been well-documented, Andre sacrificed for the betterment of our team and, in one of the best stories of this journey.
“He has been absolutely vital to our success during five consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals and three championships. We thank Andre for all of his contributions and look forward to seeing his number in the rafters at Chase Center,” saad ni Lacob.
Una nang sinabi ni Lacob na kanila ring ireretiro ang No. 35 jersey ni Kevin Durant kasunod ng pasya nitong lumagda ng kontrata sa Brooklyn Nets.
Sa kanyang pananatili sa Warriors, naglista ng average na 7.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists at 1.1 steals ang 35-year-old 2015 NBA Finals MVP.
