@Zenigundam He wasn’t in his prime while he was with GS, but he did win a finals MVP.

[@jobin140]

@@Zenigundam He won finals MVP as a role player. No one off the bench is as impactful as that. Especially because he was past his prime, and led them to the city's first championship in 40 years. I want my Hall of Fame players to also be those who consistently worked hard and truly delivered when it mattered. That's why when Robert Horry's name is tossed around I'm not mad at the idea of him being HOF. Not to mention Iguodala was way better, was an Allstar in 2012. Was actually really good on the 76ers, definitely NBA star caliber player averaging around 20 points a night at 50% with some epic highlights.
