  • This week, Golden State Warriors guard DONTE DIVINCENZO joins POINT FORWARD co-hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER for a revelatory and wide-ranging convo. Donte talks about growing up playing soccer in Delaware, what it’s like to be a white NBA player and the dark place he went to following an injury early in his career. He also gets into why Steph Curry is “different,” how Steve Kerr gave him confidence, and guarding Damian Lillard. Plus, he dishes on how his life changed when he won Most Outstanding Player at the 2018 Final Four while leading Villanova to a championship, and what it was like playing with Brooklyn Nets wing Mikal Bridges and living with NY Knicks star Jalen Brunson in college. #nba #dontedivincenzo #goldenstatewarriors #steph #dame #villanova #andreiguodala #evanturner #pointforwardpodcast
    The Point Forward podcast, hosted by former NBA teammates and current best friends Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, uses basketball as a pretext to honestly and openly talk about business, culture, race, tech, and, yes, sports. Specifically, over the course of weekly hour-long episodes that drop on #pointforwardfriday, Iguodala and Turner discuss and debate current national and global events in a way that is meant to resonate with everyone from the Silicon Valley elite to teenagers on the south side of Chicago.

      The new CBA pretty much ended the Warriors dynasty after this year. They'll have to shed massive salary to get under the luxury tax line or face absolutely ridiculous punitive consequences like even higher luxury tax penalties, loosing mid-level exception, and being unable to pick up ring chasers in the buy-out market.

    Donte is such an absolute blessing for us man. I remember he had a shaky start earlier this season and when he went out with his injury, his absence was felt and we went on an horrible slump. When he came back we started to gain our groove back and he was absolutely phenomenal since then. One of the most, if not the kost most consistent player in our team. No matter the outcome of this season, Donte will forever be one of our greats.

Secondly, I can't begin to say how much I appreciate you and your insights to the world around you.

    That day will truly be a loss for DubNation too, cuz him, GPII, Wiggs, and Dray are defensive killers out there. And I truly believe that this will be demonstrated in spades during the playoffs.
    Anyway, GREAT INTERVIEW guys!!! I learned so much about our new Dubs brutha Donte, and regardless of where he finally ends up (cuz the salary cap will force him off the team) I will be cheering for him as a fellow homie.

To bond with him I started watching watching NBA games with him (I’m a golfer and have zero history with basketball until my son wanted to take up the game two years ago) and of course watch the warriors. I just want to say, Donté, you’re my absolute favorite. I scream your name when ever you make a play, or pick a ball off of an offender. I hope the warriors see the value you bring to the game, to the team, and that they keep you around for the long term. You’re a joy to watch! And Andre, great podcast, I’m adding you to my list. Hopefully it will help score some cool points with my kid!
