“Absolutely, I didn’t know that was much of a debate” – Steph Curry asserts Andre Iguodala is a Hall Of Famer, compliments his contribution to the team leading them to several championships

During his time with the Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry has played alongside some incredibly talented players. The franchise built their dynasty around him, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. But it was the veterans around them that took the team to the next level.

Among the vets brought in over the years is Andre Iguodala. The versatile forward was an All-Star-level talent with the Philadelphia 76ers, but took on a smaller role upon arriving in Golden State. His ability to do a little bit of everything proved to be the boost the Warriors' second unit needed.

In his time with Golden State, Iguodala has won four championships. He also took home a finals MVP in 2015 because of his defense on LeBron James.

As a star-level player with multiple titles, many have debated whether Iguodala is worthy of making the Hall of Fame. When Curry was asked about the subject, he felt the answer was a no-brainer.

“Absolutely, I didn’t know that was much of a debate,” Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Kerith Burke. “Absolutely.”

Is Steph Curry right about Andre Iguodala being a no-doubt Hall of Famer?

Given the success they had together over the years, it is not shocking that Steph Curry feels Andre Iguodala should make the Hall of Fame. That being said, it might be a little closer than the two-time MVP thinks.

One thing Iguodala has going for him is the accolades. Along with his titles and Finals MVP, he is a one-time All-Star and made two All-Defense teams. Everything else is where his case starts to take a hit.

At his peak, Iguodala put up good numbers with the Philadelphia 76ers. However, his career averages of 11.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists aren't as flashy.

By far the deciding factor for Iguodala's case is how voters view his career. While he put up star-level numbers for some time, all of his success came as a role player. Throughout history, players of this caliber have been hit or miss when it comes to getting their names enshrined among the all-time greats.

One example of this is Robert Horry. He was a key role player on seven different championship teams, but finds himself outside of the Hall of Fame. Horry is clear proof that rings aren't the only factor.

Curry can petition all he wants for Iguodala to sneak in, but he might end up falling just short.
