NBA: How To Stop Golden State Warriors? "Kill Us All" - Andre Iguodala

Nigerian-American basketballer Andre Iguodala can't stop talking as his team the Golden State Warriors are in the form of their life. Iguodala now celebrates as soon as a fellow player makes a shot attempt as the Warriors now make almost every shot count. Iguodala has said that any team that wants to beat the Warriors must "kill us all". This Warriors are really Warriors..

Since no one has figured out how to beat the Golden State Warriors yet, as they stand at 23-0, the players are starting to be asked how anyone can beat them. Understandably, being the confident group that they are, they don't think you can. If they do know how to attack themselves, they're not going to put that blueprint out there in the media.

Andre Iguodala went so far as to say that the only way to stop them is by literally killing them.


Speaking to a small group of reporters after his team's 114-98 victory over the Nets in Brooklyn, the veteran swingman offered, "Going to the gun range and learning how to shoot. Kill us all."

After Iguodala smiled, the reporter asked about the Warriors' knowing how to "shoot" in basketball terms, to which Iguodala corrected, "No, that's the only way you gonna beat us: If you shoot us and kill us and we can't play." Then Iguodala smiled again and said, "That's a joke."

Iguodala was then asked by the reporter to answer the question seriously, to which Iguodala said, "No, that's for real. I'm serious."

He then continued, "I think teams just try to throw different looks at us, and we just have a very versatile group of guys, we mix up our matchups. For every action, I think we have a reaction for it, and [that] will help us win."

Iguodala's comments came the same night President Barack Obama addressed the nation in the wake of the San Bernadino shooting massacre that left 14 dead and 21 wounded, and in the wake of a rash of mass shooting incidents over the past several years. That prompted some criticism on social media about the joke.

Iguodala often flies under the radar, but he's an extremely confident guy, brash even. When asked why the Denver Nuggets had improved so much defensively in 2013, he offered "Well, see, they got this guy named Andre Iguodala." That was before Iguodala left Denver in free agency after allegedly speaking to the Warriors during their first-round matchup about how the Nuggets were guarding Stephen Curry physically.

He's also known to have an attitude that flies in the face of political correctness, especially on Twitter. Whether his comments were in or out of line, his overall point is accurate. Right now, at this moment, there is simply no way to match up with the Warriors.
