Andre Iguodala recently said he believes Stephen Curry is the second best player in basketball history after Michael Jordan.

Following the Golden State Warriors' Game 2 win over the Toronto Raptors, Iguodala was asked by Ethan Strauss of The Athletic what motivates him to play through injuries.

"I like Steph," Iguodala said. "He's a good dude. Good guy to be around. That's really the only reason why I like playing basketball. That's the only reason why I play."

Iguodala was asked to clarify and whether his motivation is in seeing Curry's legacy upheld.

“Yeah. I’ve never seen it in a person, such a good person ever get some backlash or whatever from his peers because they’re so jealous of what he has, so, just kind of sticking it to them. Whatever it takes to protect his legacy, I’m all for it.”
