Philadelphia climbs over the .500 mark once again, now at 31-30 on the season and are only a half game behind the Knicks, who faltered at home last night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Andre Iguodala has been a gigantic reason behind the resurgence of the Sixers this season and last night is a reason why.
Iggy has been the vocal unselfish leader for this team and quite frankly, he's put his money where his mouth is and has stepped it up with his attitude and play rather than only with his numbers.
Andre has had good stats this season, not superstar level stats, but they have been what this team has needed to be competitive night after night against the best and worst in the NBA and as a result this team is in the race and Iggy is a big reason for that, so we have to give him the props he deserves and last night he lit it up again.
Iguodala had a big-time triple double last night of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists and every single play he made last night has a big one as he appeared on many occasions to be in multiple places at once.
It's about time the Iggy haters take a step back and look at the larger picture which is, this team isn't as good as they are now without him.
You can want the video game numbers and LeBron-like performance, but we have to realize that's not Andre's game. He's a great slasher with lock down defensive ability and he's been exactly what we've needed this season, let's appreciate that.
