The Golden State Warriors pulled off a powerful win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, which was obviously cause for celebration.
There was another cause too, which was the jersey retirement of Andre Iguodala.
To mark the special occasion, former Warriors star Kevin Durant posted a video celebrating his old teammate.
The video, shared by Alex on X, featured Durant remembering all the great times he and Iguodala had together and honoring the four-time champion.
It was a nice, touching moment from Durant, years after he left the Warriors team.

Iguodala didn’t get his start with the Warriors, but many argue that he spent his most formative years there.
He came to the team after playing for the Philadelphia 76ers for eight years.
With the Warriors, he averaged 6.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.
He was named an All-Star once and was also the Finals MVP in 2014-15.
By the time Durant came to the team, Iguodala’s career was starting to wind down, and he would soon play fewer and fewer minutes and become more of a player-coach.
He spent a couple of seasons with the Miami Heat before coming back to retire as a Warrior after the 2022–23 season.
Now, his jersey will hang in the rafters alongside other Warriors legends.
Durant hasn’t been with the Warriors in years, and there are rumors of him being unhappy about some of his time spent with Golden State.
But he is obviously very fond of Iguodala and wanted to take a moment to commemorate such a huge honor.
Is there any chance that Durant himself will have his jersey next to Iguodala’s someday?
