Iguodala reminds himself to stop liking Warriors' posts: 'I play for the Heat'

After six seasons and five straight Finals appearances as a key member of the Golden State Warriors, Andre Iguodala once again finds himself back in the Finals, this time as a member of the Miami Heat.

But while he's moved on with his career, Iguodala is still in close contact with his former Warriors teammates - to the point where he has to remind himself where his current allegiances lie.

"I still talk to those guys every day," he told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. "Like, you're not allowed to say anything bad about Steph (Curry) around me, or in general. Even on social media, I'm like, 'Shit, I've got to stop liking posts from the Warriors or any of the Warriors fan accounts.'

"I play for the Heat. So I'll be caught in like these little internal battles. But it is part of the journey. So I'm going to just maximize these last however many days of my career I've got left, just try and enjoy it."

The Warriors traded Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies in July 2019 in a cap-saving move; he never joined the Grizzlies, who rerouted him to Miami ahead of the February trade deadline. The Heat signed Iguodala to a two-year, $30-million extension shortly after his arrival, with the latter season being a team option.

At 36 - long removed his lone All-Star appearance in 2012 and Finals MVP award in 2015 - Iguodala's best days as a player are behind him. Still, the cagey veteran has had his moments of late, including a 15-point outing in Game 6 against the Boston Celtics to help the Heat clinch the Eastern Conference finals.

With ailing Heat starters Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo doubtful to play in Game 2 of The Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, Iguodala's presence will be even more vital for his new team.

Game 2 is slated for Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
