Iguodala Says Kobe Was Harder to Guard Than LeBron and People Went Wild

Twitter went into a bit of a frenzy when Andre Iguodala said Kobe Bryant was the hardest player he ever had to guard, not LeBron James.

Andre Iguodala is on a run of making spicy comments you'll either love or hate.

He has already declared that the Knicks aren't going to get any big free agents, and now the internet is dissecting a comment he made on CNBC's Power Lunch on Monday.

After heaping on plenty of praise about how great LeBron James is when commenting on who is harder to guard between James and Kawhi Leonard, Iguodala committed the one cardinal sin of Basketball Twitter and brought Kobe Bryant into the conversation.

Obviously a former Finals MVP and three-time champion is going to have a more than credible opinion on any matter regarding basketball, especially one about his own experiences on the court, but that didn't stop people from sounding off on the idea that Kobe is harder to guard than Bron.

Thank goodness Iguodala can't comment on guarding Michael Jordan or else everything might explode.
