  3. this is just beautiful

    look at all those moves sending the defender all over the place, simply magnificent

  5. Damn looking at the score of game 1 2019, it was winnable. If only they called the eye pokes and under cuts

  10. Yes, I truly miss those years. I still enjoy what we have now, but that was just a different time all together.

  11. Iggy was the only Warriors player whose defensive philosophy wasn’t “foul Harden every time he shoots a 3” apparently. Klay was getting in his landing zone on every single one of those shots (and only half got called, so annoying.)

  12. Longtime Warriors fan here

    This guy gave me so much fear as a teen every time we saw him in the playoffs. We had guys like prime Klay and iguodala to play defence and he was still terrifying. If not for the dubs firepower, he easily could’ve gotten a chip.

    Nothing but respect. One of the most terrifying playoff guards you can ever matchup against.

  15. Harden from 2017-2020 was averaging 30+ points a game lmao.

    This city got spoiled watching this man torch defenses night after night during those years
