The feud between Golden State Warriors All-Stars Kevin Durant and Draymond Green does not appear to be coming to an end anytime soon. Now, their teammates are chiming in, with veteran Andre Iguodala the most recent to share his two cents worth on the issue at hand.
Iguodala chose a rather odd source to quote, but the message remains quite apt for the situation.
Andre Iguodala postgame on the Warriors' current adversity: "I think it was an old school pimp that said: 'You can't climb a mountain if it's smooth.'"

The 34-year-old did a great job here of slightly diffusing the situation by injecting a bit of a comic relief, while at the same time also hitting the nail on the head.
The Warriors currently possess arguably the best collection of stars in the entire history of the league. With so much talent also comes a lot of ego. Sometimes, this has a tendency to show its ugly head, especially when things don't go their way. Perhaps this is exactly what transpired on Monday night between Durant and Green.
Nonetheless, what Iguodala is pointing out here is that these types of setbacks are inevitable. The Warriors are in the midst of building their dynasty, and while many consider their success to be a foregone conclusion, this by no means make it easier. There will be a lot of bumps along the way — some more testing than others — and overcoming them will only be part of the arduous journey.
The Warriors were back to winning ways on Tuesday, defeating the Atlanta Hawks, 110-103. Green will be back from his team-sanctioned suspension come Thursday when the Dubs take on Western Conference arch-rivals Houston Rockets. All eyes will be on Durant and Green when they first take the floor together after their highly-publicized bust-up.
