Andre Iguodala


or most athletes, winning a champion- ship means a dream come true. For the Golden State Warriors


forward Andre Iguodala, it meant fulfill- ing two dreams “We’re going to Augusta,” the jubi-


lant Iguodala shouted while standing on the court moments after vanquish- ing LeBron James and the Cleveland


Cavaliers in this summer’s NBA Finals. Fellow golfer and head coach Steve


Kerr had promised Iguodala a round at the home of The Masters if the Warriors won the title. While that round will hap-


pen at some point this NBA season (Augusta is closed all summer), the golf-obsessed Iguodala still packed in plenty of rounds. He even played every


day of his honeymoon. The new NCGA member and


reigning NBA Finals MVP became an avid golfer ever since joining the Warriors in 2013. He was excited to share that new love with us. –Scott Seward


You became the first player to win the Finals MVP award without starting a regular season game. How cool is it to make that kind of history? It was pretty cool, but I don’t look at it that way. I look at it as doing what I need to do to help the team win. Most people would think that was the highlight (winning the MVP award), but winning the championship trophy was the big thing. The MVP award was icing on the cake for me. I don’t think about that too much. Knowing how hard it is to win the championship, and being part of the team that came together and won that was it for me.
