As the door is slowly closing for the Dubs' historic run in this era, Iguodala calls fans to cherish what's left of Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
Regardless of whether the end is near for the Dubs dynasty, Andre Iguodala hopes fans continue to appreciate what they can still see from the Golden State Warriors.

"People forget how hard it is to win. Everyone's asking about that dynasty, when will it die? It's like, how many dynasties have there been in sports, period? You look at basketball, there's been five, six, maybe? You have Boston, the Lakers have had two. Chicago, the Warriors. Spurs, too, although they never went back-to-back. But they are a dynasty. It's really rare to see, and sometimes you can take it for granted," Iguodala, a key member of the Warriors dynasty and 2015 NBA Finals MVP, told HoopsHype's Raul Barrigon.
"But the effect that you've seen it have on a game of basketball, even how it's played, I think speaks volumes to Steph, Klay Thompson, their shooting ability, they just changed the game. I think you just got to appreciate it while it's still here because what Steph's doing at the level he's still doing it at, oh my."
As their hunt for title No. 5 since 2015 continues, the Warriors are facing serious competition this season. They are currently No. 8 in the West with a 24-19 record.
This 2025-26 campaign might serve as the final biggest shot for the Warriors to win it all again, following last year's blockbuster acquisition of Jimmy Butler. As it is, the trio of Butler, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are already over mid-30s and might show signs of decline sooner.
Even Steve Kerr himself admitted that the Warriors are indeed a "fading dynasty", and they are just trying to maximize with whatever they have in front. With the emergence of the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs and several up-and-coming teams, Golden State is facing a huge question mark on its future contention and in the post-Curry era.
After all, Iguodala wants fans to understand how the Warriors changed the game and carved a winning mark for the entire NBA by dominating this era.
"That team was so special because people became accustomed to us just winning every year, and they forgot how hard it was to win," he said. "You got people that never played in the playoffs, people that never got out of the first round. People who never got to the Finals, you got all-time greats who never made the Finals or never won one.
"I think that just speaks to how amazing, how blessed Stephen Curry is. Who he is as a person, catalyst for it all. Obviously, Kevin Durant is a one-of-one talent. But just the influence and feeling he brought to the game, and like how the fans interacted with that dynasty."
