The Golden State Warriors were in a celebratory mood Sunday afternoon. The day was all about Andre Iguodala, who became the third player in team history to have his jersey retired. The feel-good sensation of the honorary occasion carried over to the basketball court and the Dallas Mavericks fell victim to an onslaught of offense by Klay Thompson’s former team.

Klay Thompson decided to pop by for Andre Iguodala's Warriors jersey retirement ceremony even after Mavericks' loss.

Ten years after Iguodala helped the Warriors to their first of four championships, the team immortalized him by retiring his jersey. Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant are next in line. He didn’t have to be the best to be the first.
