Andre Iguodala

Andre Iguodala is one of those players who never got the individual glory his game deserved, and somehow that makes him even more impressive to me. Out of Springfield, Illinois, this guy quietly became one of the best two-way wings of his generation — the kind of player every championship team desperately needs but rarely gets credit for. Four titles with the Golden State Warriors speaks for itself, but winning Finals MVP in 2015 over LeBron James was the moment the world finally had to stop and acknowledge what Warriors fans already knew. He made LeBron work harder than almost anyone could. Beyond the defense and the championship pedigree, Iguodala became a respected voice in player business and tech investment circles, which shows there's a sharp mind running things behind those calm, unreadable eyes on the court.
