Warriors Andre Iguodala Iguodala says booing was the media’s fault

It was booing When he hits a triple pointer.

If you ask almost any Memphis Grizzlies fan why he’s been booed, they’ll point to the fact that despite trading for the three-time NBA champion in 2019 — a move that helped the Warriors free up plenty of space for an All-Star D guard he should have. Angelo Russell is also helping the heart of a young Memphis—Iguodala hasn’t played a minute for the Grizzlies franchise (despite being a member of it for seven months!). He was eventually traded to the Miami Heat in February of 2020 the athlete After the deal he never said explicitly that he didn’t want to play for the Grizzlies, but his decision to sit out all season before the trade was a “mutual agreement” with Memphis. if he required to play with them, but also mutually agreed not play them. I got you.

However, if you ask Iguodala why he booed him on Monday night, you’ll find an entirely different answer.

“This is the second time I’ve played here,” Iguodala He said After losing on Monday in Memphis. “I think that’s just part of the way the sport and the fans have become. They are more inclined to play with their feelings and their feelings and it’s clear the narrative that they can drive, especially from the wealthy people who control the media and who are in ownership mode. They can sort of control it. In the account of how it turned out there. I understand that the true story will not always emerge. You deal with it and move on.”

Stop. Yeah.

Iguodala has not continued to publish “The Real Story” on Monday night, nor has he shown it in the three years since it was circulated. He also seems to have never given that “true story” to his former teammates. Memphis All-Star Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks have both been vocal about the way Iguodala handled his time in Memphis. Here’s Dillon Brooks on February 3, 2020, days before Iguodala traded (and after seven months into his Memphis stint): “I feel like he’s doing the right thing for his career, but we don’t really care. It’s not a distraction at all. I laugh at that kind of thing.” A guy on our team doesn’t want to be on our team. I can’t wait to find a way to trade him off so we can play with him and show him what he’s really about Memphis.”

Ja Morante Share the last sentence From a Brooks quote on Twitter on the same day:

Brooks piled into Iguodala again on Monday after defeating the Warriors.

“We all had a vision and he didn’t, which is perfect,” said Brooks. “He sent him back to the Warriors and let him do his work there.” “But from the start we were growing a base and we kept building and building and building and more men got on the train.”

Iguodala fired Brooks and Morant again in 2020, considering their comments to them as “Millennials”. (Both Brooks and Morant are technically members of Generation Z, if you use an extension 1996 Pew Research Center deadline.)

“I understand the generation we’re in, the new millennials we’re dealing with, how social media plays a role and how someone can feed (ideas) to a young person and (grow),” He said.

The “ideas” or “narration” fed to Brooks and Morant in this case appears to be that Iguodala requested a compensation purchase (Iguodala). He will not deny this When asked about it in 2020, but every NBA insider in any major media said it’s being discussed!), he didn’t want to play for the Grizzlies (mutually agreed not to play for them!) and wanted to go to the contender (which he did). He did, and he made it to the NBA Finals with that same contender, the Miami Heat, as a result!).

If you want the “real story,” you’ll need to ask someone other than 1. “Millennials,” 2. “Ja Morant or Dillon Brooks, 3. NBA Insider, 4. Grizzlies Fans, 5.” Those with wealth that control the media” or 6. NBA owners. Conciliation seekers of truth.
