He's a 4 time NBA champion and believes there's a player that is the closest to Kobe Bryant

After the 2022-23 season ended with the Denver Nuggets becoming the new NBA champions by defeating the Miami Heat, Andre Iguodala 39 years old has decided to retire.

By Iguodala retiring, the now former Miami Heat player is making LeBron James the oldest active star in the league. But he has now opened up about how Jimmy Butler reminds him of the late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

"He's probably the closest that I've seen to Kobe Bryant with that mentality of just man, Jimmy will figure out a way for us to win. I've never seen a will like that." Said Andre.

Iguodala believes that Butler will channel the best of Kobe and will win a title for the Heat. Bryant has been gone now for three years but keeps inspiring the new generation of players.

The Los Angeles Lakers made some critical signings this offseason and the biggest one was the point guard Gabe Vincent, who just played the NBA Finals with Miami.
