What happened: The former Golden State Warriors guard made the comparison while discussing his new college basketball front-office role. Golden State traded him to the Milwaukee Bucks midway through the 2011-12 season as it reshaped its backcourt.
Why it matters: Golden State won four championships after the split. The claim also reverses his 2016 acknowledgment that keeping the former backcourt together would not have produced a title.
By the numbers: During his Golden State tenure, the former guard averaged 19.6 points and 4.4 assists while shooting 46.5% from the field.
What to watch: The next development is whether anyone from Golden State addresses the comparison during the offseason.
