Andre Iguodala, who last played for the Golden State Warriors, stated that he believes the primary reason he was able to win an Olympic gold medal was due to the endorsement of his defensive skills by the Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

“The only reason I made the Olympic team in 2012 is because Kobe Bryant was like, ‘This the best defender in the league,’” Iguodala said.

Team USA secured gold at the 2012 London Olympics with a star-studded roster, including Kobe Bryant, current players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook, along with other stars like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, and James Harden.
