Andre Iguodala was a crucial piece for the Golden State Warriors during their championship runs. However, after five straight trips to the finals with the Dubs, Iggy will make his sixth finals appearance, but with the Miami Heat.

The 36-year-old struggled to find his touch throughout the entire ECF series, but showed up big time when the team needed him the most. Iguodala scored 15 points for the Heat in Game 6 while not missing even a single time. Moreover, the veteran drained 4 three-pointers and played an excellent role in Game 6.

According to ESPN’s Nick Friedell, Iggy’s former coach Steve Kerr and the Warriors praised the veteran’s performance.

Under the tough leadership style of superstar Jimmy Butler, they are 12-3 so far in the Playoffs. Guess what? the Lakers have the same record as the Heat Nation. One thing is certain, both the teams have insane potential and the finals might go either way.
