Allen Iverson reacts to Andre Iguodala’s retirement from basketball
Former Philadelphia 76ers star Andre Iguodala announced his retirement on Friday after 19 seasons in the league. He spent his first eight seasons in Philadelphia after he was the 9th pick in the 2004 NBA draft and was an All-Star with the Sixers in 2012.
Iguodala was then traded to the Denver Nuggets in the Andrew Bynum mega-deal before he joined the Golden State Warriors. He won four championships in Golden State and he was named the 2015 finals MVP.
During his days with the Sixers, Iguodala played with franchise icon Allen Iverson briefly. The two played together for parts of three seasons and they built a bit of a relationship on the floor.
Iverson took to Instagram to give his love to Iguodala through his retirement. He even mentioned a Hall of Fame possibility.
Iverson and Iguodala guided the Sixers to the playoffs in 2005 before they were upended by the Detroit Pistons in Round 1. Who knows what they could have accomplished if Iverson was not traded to the Nuggets early in Iguodala’s second season?
