Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant may get the headlines when it comes to the Golden State Warriors title stretch, yet Andre Iguodala‘s fingerprints are all across the Larry O’Brien championship trophies.
From the moment he arrived in Golden State, Iguodala played a key role — from his time in the renowned “death lineup” to winning NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 2015.
During his time in Golden State, Iguodala averaged 7.3 points, 3.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 48.5 % from the field.
Now a member of the Miami Heat, Iguodala laced up against his former team for the first time in six years. Before the game started, the Warriors honored the former Arizona Wildcat with a pregame tribute video on the Chase Center jumbotron.

After the video, Klay Thompson spoke to the Golden State home crowd about Iguodala’s impact on the Warriors over the past six years.
Against the Warriors, Iguodala tallied two points, two assists and five rebounds in 17 minutes during Miami’s 113-101 win.
