Andre Iguodala catches a stray from Kevin Hart after Kai Cenat flames Druski for dribbling ball signed by 2015 NBA Finals MVP
Streamer Kai Cenat lashed out at comedian Druski for dribbling his Andre Iguodala-signed basketball during his livestream on Monday along with Kevin Hart and Bryce James for his ongoing Mafiathon Stream event. Reacting to the moment, Hart took a jab at Iguodala while intending to take one at Cenat.
"That's the first time I ever heard anybody say it," Hart said. "They wanna cherish the Andre Iguodala basketball."
Andre Iguodala is a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors and the NBA Finals MVP during their first championship in 2015, marking the start of their dynasty. Iguodala signed the basketball for Kai Cenat in an appearance on the same Mafiathon streaming event earlier this month.
Andre Iguodala tells Kai Cenat that Steph Curry was supposed to win NBA Finals MVP
During his appearance on Kai Cenat's stream earlier this month, Andre Iguodala revealed that he was surprised to receive the 2015 NBA Finals MVP over Steph Curry. When asked to pick between LeBron James and Curry, Iguodala revealed that his 2015 Finals MVP award was supposed to go to Curry.
"I don't know why they gave it to me, they were supposed to give it to Steph," Iguodala said.
Andre Iguodala receiving the honor came as a big surprise. It was anticipated that Steph Curry would receive the award, as he was unquestionably the best player on the team and the engine that made everything run on its offense.
However, Iguodala did have a major contribution to the team's success, having averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks while shooting 52.1% from the field, including 40.0% from beyond the arc in the series.
Moreover, after trailing 1-2 to the Cleveland Cavaliers after the first three games, Iguodala was assigned as LeBron James' primary defender. This move significantly helped in limiting James' efficiency, after which the Warriors went on a 3-0 run to clinch their first title in 40 years.
Meanwhile, Steph Curry averaged 26.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 blocks while shooting 44.3% from the field, including 38.5% from deep.
However, it was not the first time that Iguodala said Curry should have received the NBA Finals MVP instead of him in 2015. While Steph did eventually get his first NBA Finals MVP in 2022, Iguodala has always maintained that the Warriors star should have received the honor long before.
