Andre Iguodala believes Rasheed Wallace would be a better player than Giannis in today’s NBA on “The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz.”
Iguodala began to talk about the fact that every championship team in the history of the NBA had at least one superstar player. He couldn’t think of any other team that didn’t have one superstar player, but the 2003-04 Pistons were it. Wallace was awarded his first ring in his NBA career that season with the Pistons. Detroit was ranked third in Eastern Conference at 54-28 (.659)

Iguodala also stated that Rasheed Wallace could have been a top-five player for the league for a decade. He was shooting half-court shots right-handed and left-handed, but there’s more to basketball than shooting.
“If Wallace were to play in modern-day basketball today, he would be a top-five player.” He would be better than Giannis, and I love Giannis.
Dan Le Batard stated that Andre Iguodala used to be a statistician on the 76ers. But he preferred winning. He was traded to the Warriors after playing for the Nuggets for a season. After that, he won four championships with Golden State. In 2015, Iguodala was named NBA Finals MVP.
Iguodala believes there are many types of winning. He said, “Winning a championship is not worth it.” If you think about it, only a small percentage of teams win championships. You’ll win when certain front offices and teams value winning.
