Former Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala recently opened up on one of the most infamous NBA Finals moments he was a part of. Despite winning four championships and an NBA Finals MVP award, many non-Golden State fans remember Iguodala for another reason, being on the receiving end of a chase-down block from former Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
When reminiscing on the play with former Cavalier Richard Jefferson, Iguodala said, “All I heard was like a sonic boom. It sounded like somebody got shot. It was loud. When I heard it, I was waiting on the whistle for a goal-tend.” Iguodala went on to say that he still hears kids reference commentator Mike Breen’s call: “Blocked by James!” Despite suffering the loss, Iguodala and the Warriors would get their revenge next season, defeating the Cavaliers in five games to win the 2017 NBA Finals.
