Love Andre, remember him on my 76ers , a great player and what a career he’s turned into
Iggy on the Sixers brings back soooo many memories😭😭
Your sixers? The owner doesn’t have a TH-cam account so wtf are you talking about
@@marcusmorrison5231 you seem to lack a good sense
Andre a Real one for not letting his ego get in the way of a amazing moment and that's why he's a finals MVP he didn't let his ego get in his way and let his game and authenticity speak for itself
"BLOCKED BY JAMES" still gives me chills just thinking about it
Put on a jacket...
That gives me nightmares but that kyrie I shot I don't even want to think about it that shot ended us
@@tailoredfor831facts 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was some magic. Back then it was a heartbreaker. I was like the warriors have won this and then boooommm 💥...
Was not a chilling moment.....stop the bs
That's crazy...imagine being JR and and you hear Bron yell the code and you just run full sprint knowing he's coming behind you with the help
Imagine being JR thinking you are up in the finals and runing with the ball killing time instead of making a play💀
@@TheMETALICA40
He a millionaire and a champion either way
@@TheMETALICA40 then lebron liking you so much he invites you to win another chip with him
@@TheMETALICA40 imagine being Lebron “the so called goat” in an one on one situation with a 6’3” Steph curry on you and you pass the ball instead of getting a good shot off and putting the game in your hands but you pass it to someone with no finals experience.
One of the greatest defensive plays in NBA finals history.
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
The Bron block and the Jordan steal on Malone are the 2 best/clutchest defensive plays I’ve ever seen👏🏾
he held LeBron to pretty low shooting percentage I think when Andre was on him he shot like 37%@@kevintaylor9590
I like Andre's attitude. He's incredibly humble.
I'm from Oakland and seen Iggy walking around a few times. He's hella down to earth and cool.
He was very personable in Philly too! Just miscast
Respect him for not saying he had back stiffness as well. He & Bogut injured their backs mid game and talk was that it obviously didn’t help on that play but he ain’t making an excuse. Kudos
Or maybe it really didn’t affect that specific play.
Bogut blew out his knee from a jr play
Andre played high school ball in Springfield IL and is pretty much the biggest name to come out of this area we always rooted for him in the league
He Definitely Better than A lot of Cats
Cats??? 🐈
And dogs
He's underrated always has been
Did anybody remember him from the sixers?
@@cavemanrileyone of my favorite players of all time. very similar to jimmy butler
Sixer fan since age 5, Iggy was solid for Philly but was never THAT GUY, the role he played in Golden State was perfect for him.
Bron super human for that block no cap 🧢
2015 finals LeBron averaged 35.8pts
13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists. And Iggy won finals MVP for guarding him 🤣 I guess they had to give it to somebody on the winning team 🤷🏾♂️
Exactly what they did smh
LeBron or the refs should have won mvp. This guy maybe should’ve won most average player award
Iggy made a lot of critical shots and kept LeBron at 38% field goal. Warriors won the championship and winning matters more than individual stats.
@@kennethli8 he is and always will be an average to above average player not ever mvp level anywhere. Not at Arizona not Philly not GSW, not even in a CYO league. Cudos to the coaches to use him in a roll that best suits his skill set
@kennethli8 LeBron was dominating those dudes by himself, if you watched those games there's no argument that he was leaps & bounds better than everyone else. And how can you say stats don't matter but you used a stat to validate Iggy winning the FMVP?
What he said about that deal made me happy
To be honest I always thought iggy was super underrated before he even joined the Warriors he was carrying teams to good playoff runs and made everyteam he was on better so it didn't shock me when he won finals mvp on the warriors
He definitely a humble guy
I love iggy for this mane this is a good story
I will always believe that LeBron James should’ve won Finals MVP in 2015 and no one can tell me different.
Same
He should have won the chip 🙄
I disagree. Winning is more important and Iggy deserved the Finals MVP because he did such a great job of defending by keeping Lebron at 38% field goal.
@@kennethli8you do realize there was no one else the warriors needed to guard? Can you actually name the starting 5 from the cavs that series ? It was a huge team effort of capable defenders in klay, draymond, and iggy. Iggy averaged good% bcuz the cavs were scrambled on defending klay and curry.
Nope, lost and averaged 38% fg.
35.8 Points
13.3 Rebounds
8.8 Assists per game
LeBron's stats during the 2015 finals.
Drink that in.
I still remember him from the 76ers back then
Smart guy
Help defense is the story behind this. In isolation Bron actually shot 10-20 on Iggy. But when Bron was guarded by Draymond he shot worse. When there were help defenders, he shot his worst -- which is what Iggy used to tell people. Consider watching a breakdown of games 4-6. Either way, defense wasn't what won GSW these games. Both teams were struggling to get over 100 all series
Yeah. I'm really not sure how the story of these finals became "LeBron was locked up by Iggy". It was Draymond and Iguodala. They loaded up on him whenever they wanted because Cleveland didn't have Kyrie and Kevin Love.
I’m a Philly fan so I remember when igoudala was supposed to be AI 2.0 he gave us some great years in Philly and was utterly robbed of a slam dunk contest title
Great years? Stop it, he was a good player.
@@369pendulum you sound bitter 🤣
@phillipsosa3353 I said he was good lol.. That ain't bitter, you just putting too much sauce on them wings.
I knew Shannon would bring up LeBron preventing Iggy from being 5-1 in the finals...but he is technically 3-2 against LeBron.
2 of those don’t count
Kyrie and love was out we all know lebron should've had more I think that is why people still fight for lebron like me he is smart 50% for his career
Yeah lol, lebron the chosen one was cockblocked by the warriors 3 times lol
@Critique Everything lmao the warriors and spurs will sleep fine knowing they took one loss to lebron
@Critique Everything lmao two comparisons that don’t even make sense. Brady and the patriots won 6 rings. Lebron is 4-6 in the finals and has lost multiple times to the Spurs and Warriors. What Eli did was greater since he did it twice..
I Would of been humble Also At the end of the day he A Multi Million dollar guy
The narrative that Steph should’ve won the FMVP really wasn’t the consensus take until 2017~2018 ish
He lost, get out of your feelings
@@stonedecatur6602 I think that’s what he’s saying
Followint the narrative is for the week. Everyone that wasnt the media was surprised at him not winning it. Every other start that struggled, then turned it around in aa Finals got the mvp. Except Steph.
they were givin finals mvp at that time to ppl defending lebron..like kawhi
Igooooouuuuudalllaaaa - the interview with Max Kellerman is what we waiting for
2:21 we need actual legit players on shows like first take and other debate shows they keep it real
‘16 was an electric year
yall need to put some respect on Iggy's name, role players like him are few n far between, his finals mvp was a win for every culture setting guy on every team, they really the glue.
Never knew getting cooked could get you the finals mvp
To master set up blocks is crazy
As Skip Bayless would say "it was the bicycle built for 2" lol. It was a great block but I think Lebron himself has had better blocks like the one on JRich in 09. Funny enough though, ppl don't give Tayshaun Prince credit for starting chase down block craze in the 2000s.
Holding LeBron freaking James to 38% shooting is pretty insane to think about
If iggy don’t step in I feel like bron wins that finals series because he had them young boys in a choke hold he was going 40 plus a game when iggy came in it went down to like 30 those extra points make a big difference in a series imagine the head lines if bron win that series
Without curry the cavs win 4-0.
Without Andre it still could go to 7 games.
Lebron so good that you can win MVP if you guard him and he avg 35 😂😂😂
Iggy & Iverson were the perfect duo...
He won mvp holding LeBron to a triple double!smh
Almost a Trip-Dub Bron averaged 9 assists, 13 rebounds, and 36 points… Still finals mvp worthy if you ask me.
ANY* star can get a triple doble with enough attempts. Lebron was held to 38% FG and always had the ball. Of course he got over 10 assists 10 points. He’s also a gifted athlete, yes 10 rebounds is pretty impressive still. But 38% Fg Vs 44-50% is a big decrease.
The triple double in question: 20/10/11 😭
@@Official.demetrio well it’s not just iggy guarding him it’s the whole team…..
By far the worst mvp of all times in any sport including checkers! Awesome athlete but average every thing else!
Dko not forget that Golden state us a super team but done the right way with home grown Steph, ay and Dreymond hut they did get al stars in Amdre and David Lee.
He’s definitely better than a lot of these players.
André need to talk about those nuggets teams and how nuggets were 3rd seed with Ty Lawson leading league in assist nice lil core but the warriors took them out and made nuggets rebuild
Shannon throwing shade talking bout “boy you would’ve been 6-1 if it wasn’t for LeBron 😒 No Unk mention Kyrie also he balled out in that 2016 Finals
why he gonna mention ad and kyrie in that quick statement, just mention the constant factor bron in both losses fits easier
Bron was the main factor. Won fmvp for a reason lol. But of course its a team sport these talks are all fun
Take out lebron give kyrie Kd in cavs. Can't don't win series lol
2012 Lebron 2013 Lebron 2014 Kawhi 2015 Iggy 2016 Lebron 2017 KD 2018 KD 2019 Kawhi 2020 Lebron 2021 Giannis 2022 Curry
Crazy that iggy is on that list with those guys
I hope iggy when he got that email, he called them and say now i want double.
This was greay
Skip called it..."bicycle block built for 2"
Cavs Fan: Andre earned that MVP. He was dominant. He stepped up in his individual matchup and was the most impactful across the series. Yes; the nullification of better players existed (Steph; Dray; Barnes; etc. Impacts were offset by the Cavs).
Iggy was the most impactful; thus valuable.
Also, low key Iggy looks like Brons brother.
If Steph averages any less than what he did, they lose in 4. He was obviously robbed. Kobe should have 5 FMVPs if that’s how we’re doin it
Lol what
@@VonKappallot Iggy doesn't play and they would lose 4-2
@@stonedecatur6602 I doubt Draymond couldn’t have done a better job on Bron than Iggy. Bron actually shot under 40%, had a higher amount of TOVs, and passed up more shots when guarded by Draymond as opposed to being guarded by Iggy
He is and always will be an average to above average role player. He proved it college and in Philly
Give me iggy an all star, multiple time all defense, 4x NBA champion and a finals MVP
I love Iggy man don't win 4 titles without him but I still feel Steph was robbed in my opinion he should have won the 15 mvp for sure
Get me on the show shay 😂
Show your face and maybe you got a shot🤣🤣🤣🤣
And talk about what?😂
@@kevincheboss6200 how great goat James is 🤣
@@dee4eva 😂😂😂
Sup shay
need to bring the Ja morant's Dad to have a civil conversation about what transpired at the court!!!!!
With how both teams struggled to get over a 100 all series, the narrative never should have been about defending Bron. Whether he got his or not they weren't getting over 100 (they only got 100 in game 1 in OT). They win or lose based on Steph - trash in game 2 and 3 so they lost, Great in the rest, so they won - scoring over 100 in all of their wins
Believing that anyone should've won that over Steph is crazy
Honestly that dunk probably would've got Steph and Klay going and the warriors probably would've went on a run and win by 9, I really blame I get training staff for rushing Steph back in 2016 and KD going down in 2019
oh man, i always hated draymond and it made me dislike steph and klay because of him, but andre is a quality quality dude
Andre u carried the 76ers wen AI left put some respect on your name bro.
Carried them where ?
I will never understand why Iggy was trying to lay that ball up in the closing minutes of an NBA Finals 🤦🏾♂️
Still trying to figure out why he got Finals mvp when the man he was guarding averaged a triple double
They gave Andre Iguodala that Finals MVP for his defense on Lebron, but Steph should’ve won Finals MVP.
Iguodala wouldn't get those deals though. lol
Imagine winning Finals MVP for holding your man to nearly a 35 point triple double average 😂😂
Lebron should have won mvp even on a losing team. You cant look at shooting % when talking about LeBron because hes not a pure shooter like steph. LeBron always gonna have ups and downs not to mention th3 cavs were under manned.
When u going get Bron on here?
When he retire. Shannon be the first to get that interview and his catalogue gonna keep going up in the mean time. Win win for everybody
@@gregordrizzlewing7339 u plan the interviews?
Lebron is too big for this show lmao.
@@SoggySlopster are u kidding me? He’s just a man who practices his craft
steph shoulda got it but iggy did hold LeBron to 38% from the field. yeah bron got his stats but lets include the context. thats well below the all time great LeBron James standard
Yea but lebron was shooting poorly that entire playoff run. Not sayin iggy didnt play good d but it seems to be more an off shooting year by bron. N if i recall correctly he was dealing with a back issue that year as well. Steph not gettin fmvp was a robbery.
@@Zionjrpro true, he got a cortazone shot or somethin like that and missed 2 weeks if i remember correctly
This is revisionist history. Fmvp discussion was solely between iggy and lebron and for good reason. Lebron averaged 36, 13 and 9 and iggy guarded him about as effectively as you could hope to. There was no case for steph deserving fmvp at the time and he rightfully received zero votes for fmvp.
These conversations have changed over the years to make steph look better in the finals than he was imo. He did not have a good series either by his standards. Certainly not enough to overcome iggy or lebron impact on the series.
@@Twomps if this is revisionist history then what is the playing of both sides you're doing? did LeBron destroy iggy or not? theres no LeBron was so great in a losing effort case if the "other option" is iggy's ever so effective defense on LeBron. to me, LeBron had no business being in that fmvp convo cuz he lost when he could have gone up 3-1 since game 4 was on his home court. curry had a miserable game 2 then he got back on track. was it an all time great series from him? no, but he was clearly their most valuable player in the series when he exploded for 7 3s twice
@Twomps just because 11 voters didnt put curry in the discussion doesnt mean everyone else didnt.... thats a robbery for curry to not win it over iggy. If u say lebron shoulda won it that would be more acceptable than iggy. And the funny thing is curry put up better numbers in the finals than he did in that regular season which he won mvp.
They did curry dirty lmao really a dude averaging 16 got finals MVP
Matthew 8:7
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Held Lebron to 40 points and he "locked him down" lol
Bron should’ve won MVP
Steph should have won that fmvp.
Why
@Stone Decatur because he was the best player on that team and averaged like 26 5 6. How tf do u give fmvp to a role player.....
@@Zionjrpro he slowed down LeBron while avg 16. Many people respect both sides of the court.
@@stonedecatur6602 the fact y’all really think Iggy slowed down LeBron by himself is crazy.
@@kingofthe313 i didn't say by himself but starting him made a huge difference
I’m all for Steph winning the finals mvp but dont look at the stats if you remember the series in the moment remember delly almost died one game locking Steph up and the series did shift when iggy got put into the starting lineup
Iggy didn't deserve that MVP award.
Why not ask him how it felt to shut lebron down that series???? Oh okay 😂😂😂
Because he didn’t lol, LeBron averaged 36pts 13reb 9ast that series
That’s cool just don’t act like he shut LeBron down
bruh shot 38% while having the athletic advantage im pretty sure that means he shut him down
@@wavydavey2156 he didn’t shut him down - but he slowed him down and made it a lot harder. As per the field goal % - remember Bron had to take a burden of the offense on his shoulders with two of their star players in Kyrie and Kevin Love out.
He couldn’t be the efficient Bron who’s more of a playmaker and picks his spot when needed.
@@wavydavey2156 he “shut him down” 🤔😂😂😂you are a clown
@@wavydavey2156 He was 10-20 while Igoudala guarded him.
@@poly_g6068 wait fr whyd they give him mvp then
Biggest robbery in the FMVP history
2015 when Lebron lost his first back to back finals …
Man he didn’t deserve finals mvp he didn’t stop bron from scoring or assisting
You sound like a meat rider
Then got c**k blocked by LeGoat
This is lebron lost brother
In my opinion: Labron is good but he is stoppable if one apply that guard pressure on him….I remember when Kobe stopped Labron in a game using pure defense…. Defense wins games and many players don’t like to utilize that strength…
Lol ain’t no way
Lebron was without Love and Erving.
Kobe played great position defense on that play, and James's shot barely missed. A different story the next time the Lakers and Cavs played that season...James' 2nd year in the League.
Remember, James' teams played 22 career games against the Lakers during the time their careers overlapped;13 seasons, wherein James was on the winning side 16 of those games, including 8 wins while James was a Cavalier.
@@bradtdarius you are right in stats of offense… I’m a fan of both players talent…..& Labron has surpassed Kareem , has 4 rings etc so all I can say is he’s the “Goat” now without question…….but I’m talking about “defense” and Kobe served him……Defense is a very important element to any game!
This clown owes LeBron and Curry everything
Iggy is a HOFer. Put some respect on his name....
He didn't deserve that MVP, I'm sorry but it's ridiculous to think his "defense" impacted Lebron enough to truly earn that thing over Steph and Klay's offensive efforts and Dray's defense... COME ON.
