76ers' swingman Andre Iguodala has been inspired by the World Series triumph of the Philadelphia Phillies.

"We're trying to win a championship . . . that's our goal," Iguodala said Wednesday.

"Last year, we lost our first game, and we said we were building. Now, we've got to get it rolling. Even though there are some new guys here, we've got to keep pushing, get that ball rolling faster, rather than waiting around until February to start playing well."

Iguodala took the microphone prior to the team's opener, a loss to the Raptors on Wednesday night, and expressed his excitement over the Phillies' success.
