Matt Barnes and Andre Iguodala were vocal about their distaste for Utah, as they are under the impression that the Beehive State lacks exciting nightlife. At Warriors practice Monday, Stephen Curry was asked how he’d spend his days off in Salt Lake City and the two-time MVP responded with a jab at a fellow Bay Area athlete.
