  • Nuggets' Andre Iguodala encouraged to shoot more often

    Denver Post "Golden State doesn't care much for opponents running. In fact the Warriors hate it so much, they're out to make sure it's extinct. They're succeeding.

  • Andre Iguodala deserves to be the NBA defensive player of the year

    Denver Post "Milwaukee's Larry Sanders blocks a lot of shots. And what came in the mail Wednesday? Larry Sanders blocks. See, the Bucks made wooden children's blocks that spell out LARRY SANDERS on one side and DEFENSIVE POY on another. Adorable. NBA teams like to send out these cutesy things to get..." April 11

  • Iguodala wants to play for Team USA, likely to opt out of contract

    Fox Sports Florida "Andre Iguodala is certain of one thing. He wants to represent Team USA again in both the World Cup and the Olympics.

  • Karl: Iguodala's D has taken Nuggets to another level

    CSN Philly "Andre Iguodala was nowhere to be found in the Nuggets locker room before playing his former team for the second and final time this season. When he was a Sixer, Iguodala was rarely accessible before games. His pregame ritual is strict and talking to the media is not a part of it. Iguodala came..." March 22

  • Andre and Ty step up their game

    Denver Stiffs "This is going to be a fairly short Golden Nuggets today due to some unfortunate timing issues. That said, it's been amazing to watch Ty Lawson and Andre Iguodala play over the last few games.

  • Iguodala making smooth transition with Nuggets

    CSN Philly "It’s been a season filled with adjustments for the 76ers. Just when they were preparing to adjust to life with a superstar player as the focus of the team, the plan changed. Instead, the Sixers have spent the 2012-13 season adjusting to life without their superstar, Andrew Bynum. The season..." February 14

    #Nuggets F Gallinari (sinus infection) and Iguodala (neck strain) will not play tonight at Toronto

  • So far, Andre Iguodala hasn't paid off with Nuggets

    Denver Post "To score 13.5 points per game, Nuggets forward Andre Iguodala is being paid $15 million per year, give or take a Porsche. Even by the wacky standards of the NBA, that does not compute. No way, no how, is Iguodala worth the money. So here's the key question for Denver coming down the stretch:..." February 08

  • Andre Iguodala's superior defense makes huge difference

    Denver Post "The evening's entree was something called Greivis Vasquez, a Venezuelan dish known for the dish. He's the point guard for the New Orleans Hornets, a budding playmaker who, in his previous game, had 14 assists and 25 points. "I just like his courage, and I don't know what it is, his savvy?"..." December 02

  • Despite Bynum's health, trade still good for Sixers

    CSN Philly "The Sixers were sold a lemon. At this point, that's all the Andrew Bynum trade amounts to for the Sixers.

  • From The Stands: The Real Reception For Andre Iguodala

    Liberty Ballers "The majority of Sixers talk before opening night against the Denver Nuggets revolved around what sort of reception Andre Iguodala would be welcomed with for his first game "back" (never really left) in Philadelphia as a member of the opposing team. While I think it's silly and irrational to..." November 01

  • Andre Iguodala, the 'too many stats All-Star', returns to Philadelphia

    SB Nation "Several years ago the author Michael Lewis wrote a piece about Shane Battier called the "No Stats All-Star," in which Lewis set out to capture all the things Battier did well that didn't appear in the box score. Because Lewis is Lewis, Battier emerged as a kind of noble craftsman in a world that..." November 01

  • Nuggets open cold, fall to 76ers in Iguodala's return to Philadelphia

    Denver Post "Swarm. That's what it was, a swarm. A swarm of defenders and boos and emotions. And there on Wednesday stood Andre Iguodala, engulfed. "It was taxing," he said. "Just thinking too much." Iguodala's first game as a Nugget was where he played his last game — and his entire NBA career. Here in..." November 01

  • Hawes stars as Sixers top Iguodala, Nuggets in opener

    Courier-Post "Andre Iguodala returned to the Wells Fargo Center, the only home court he's ever known in his nine-year pro career, this time, for the first time, wearing the colors of an opponent.

  • Sixers vs. Nuggets Preview: Andre Iguodala Returns

  • Andre Iguodala's Opening Night Reception After "Slamming" Sixers

    Liberty Ballers "Andre Iguodala made some interesting comments to CBS Sports the other day.

But honesty, despite the media's..." October 11

  • Andre Iguodala Jabs Sixers Management

    Liberty Ballers "Andre Iguodala's eight years in Philadelphia were not the most harmonious.

  • Lack of Philly support for Iggy confuses Team USA

    CSN Philly "It was a simple question for a ballplayer who not only grew up in the area and was the son of a well-known Big 5 and Sixers' star, but also knew how to dig the needle into the sensitive fanbase. So Kobe, why is Andre Iguodala so underappreciated in Philadelphia? "He's an all-around player..." July 17

  • Iguodala focused on Olympics, not Sixers' moves

    CSN Philly "It's not surprising that Andre Iguodala is focused. He's spending little time thinking about the Sixers' many roster moves.

  • Iguodala named to U.S. Olympic team

    CSN Philly "Last summer Andre Iguodala spent the off-season working as an intern for Merrill Lynch to learn about Wall Street and financial planning.

    Courier-Post "The seconds were ticking away and all of a sudden Paul Pierce was wide open beyond the 3-point line with a chance to tie the game in the final seconds.

  • Iguodala's clutch free throws help Sixers advance

    CSN Philly "There was nothing about the way Thursday night's Game 6 played out that pointed toward a win for the Sixers.

  • Andre The Giant

    Courier-Post "Before the game, 76ers coach Doug Collins said this would be the "hardest win of my two-year career here." He wasn't kidding.

  • Iguodala lifts shaky 76ers to series victory

    Chicago Tribune "As he stepped to the free-throw line with 2.2 seconds left in regulation, all Andre Iguodala could think about was his 5-year-old son, Andre Jr. It was a ritual the 76ers forward started after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals: Think about something that would get his mind off the..." May 11

  • Iguodala shows resolve with clutch free throws

    CSN Philly "It wasn't quite the ideal situation for the 76ers.

Given that Iguodala..." May 07

  • Iguodala fights injuries while defending Deng

    Courier-Post "It's never a good sign when Andre Iguodala mentions injuries that weren't prevalent when discussing his overall health.

  • Iguodala rests Achilles as Sixers prep for weekend

    CSN Philly "During the grueling season made up of back-to-backs and breakneck road trips, off days came very seldom for the 76ers.

However, Collins..." March 30

  • Time to worry about Iguodala's health?

    CSN Philly "You can find pictures of Doug Collins all over the place. The media guide. The team web site. Google images. Most of them are misleading.

  • Can Iguodala play through the pain?

  • There's a touch of Pippen in the way Iguodala plays
