PHOTOS: Warriors' Iguodala dozes off holding NBA Finals MVP trophy

Even with Andre Iguodala out like a light on the Golden State Warriors' team plane, there was no chance the newly crowned NBA Finals Most Valuable Player was going to let "bae" out of his sight.

It wasn't until the last three games of the 2015 NBA Finals that the 11-year-pro became a starter for the Warriors, averaging 20.3 points, seven rebounds, and four assists during that span to earn himself the Bill Russell Award.

Clearly exhausted after a grueling Game 6 at Quicken Loans Arena against the Cleveland Cavaliers in which the 31-year-old played 36 minutes and took a team-high 20 shots, Iguodala decided to have a little snooze while cradling the award in his arms.

His Warriors teammates eventually followed suit, with regular season Most Valuable Player Steph Curry lying in the middle of the aisle with the Larry O'Brien trophy placed squarely on his chest.

Winning 83 total games (67 during season and 16 in postseason) is clearly one of the most physically draining feats imaginable, with Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls (1995-96, 96-97) being the only other teams to pull it off.

If not that, then perhaps the Warriors singing "CoCo" by O.T. Genasis on the plane ride home is what did them in.
