Is Andre Iguodala a Future Hall of Famer?

 It took him ten years but he’s finally earned his NBA Title. One of the league's most dominating defenders for years now won his ring and took home the Finals’ MVP along with him. Andre Iguodala has done it all over ten seasons, but nearing the end of his career there’s one question remaining, will he be in the Hall of Fame?

His career has been filled with few major accomplishments, but Iguodala has done his share throughout his ten seasons. A first and second team NBA All-Defensive player, NBA All-Rookie First Team, a member of Team USA, and now NBA Finals’ MVP, Iguodala has proved his worth in the league.

What made Iguodala so interesting throughout his career, and still does today, is his ability never to shy away from a challenge. Iguodala has always taken the challenge of guarding the best such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Carmelo Anthony, and in most cases shut them down. Averaging 1.7 steals and 5.5 rebounds throughout his career, Iguodala has proven he is a defensive mastermind. He has never been the player making the most noise in the NBA, but Iguodala was and still is known as well as anyone because of his ability to compete with these great players.

Iguodala’s greatest quality, however, is his ability to always be the “nice guy.” In 2006, The Sporting News named him one of “the good guys of 2006.” It’s because Iguodala is constantly giving credit to others for his successes. After winning Finals’ MVP, he said it was his “great teammates,” that allowed him to win the award. Jokingly, Iguodala said, “I want to be like Steph when I grow up.” Iguodala has always been a loved athlete by many (maybe not Cleveland fans in 2015).

Iguodala isn’t just a genuine guy when it comes to sports. Andre has established numerous charity funds such as the Andre Iguodala Disaster Relief Fund that raised money for tornado victims in Springfield, Illinois, and the Andre Iguodala Youth Foundation, which uses sports to help children.

Andre Iguodala isn’t done yet either. He’s only ten seasons into his career and shows no signs of slowing up. His credentials may have already earn him a spot amongst the NBA’s legends, but the question will continue to brew until his name is on a ballot. Now with an NBA Finals’ MVP under his belt, an award given to the elite few in history, Iguodala has a significant topper on an already impressive resume.

It may be years before the question has to be answered, and many more attributes may appear on his list of accomplishments. Only time will tell, but let the discussion begin, will Andre Iguodala be in the Hall of Fame?
