It was a special night for the Warriors. The second game Andrew Wiggins suited up in Golden State colors, Draymond Green coming back after a one-game absence, but most importantly, Andre Iguodala made his debut in San Francisco’s Chase Center.
The former Golden State sixth man was moved from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Miami Heat at the trade deadline, and in his second game with his new team, he laced up against his former team.
Iguodala played six seasons with Golden State, winning three championships as an integral part of the famed “death lineup,” which was a key factor in the Warriors title run.
The Warriors honored the 2015 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in his return back to the Bay Area. Before the game started against the Miami Heat, Golden State played a tribute video featuring players and coaches speaking about Iguodala’s impact on the Warriors. The video also highlighted some of Iguodala’s best moments in Golden State on his six-year stay.
After the video, Klay Thompson took center court to give a speech about Iguodala to the Warriors home crowd. However, Thompson speaking to the Chase Center crowd wasn’t his choice; in fact — it was the opposite.
Stephen Curry played Rock-Paper-Scissors against Thompson to decide who would address the crowd.

Thompson ended up losing the first two matches with Curry using the scissors and paper technique to secure his victory, forcing the former Washington State Cougar to take the microphone.
