Andre Iguodala opens up about struggle coming off the bench

Steve Kerr inherited an excellent, up-and-coming Golden State Warriors in 2014. Before embarking on his first regular season game, he made a small, but crucial tweak to his lineup: bringing his former starter and all-star forward Andre Iguodala off the bench.

Entering his eleventh NBA season, Iguodala had never come off the bench once during his NBA career. He started in every single one of his 700+ NBA games up until that point.

Long story short, Iguodala accepted his bench role and the Warriors went on to win their first NBA title since 1975.
