VIDEO: Andre Iguodala blows by LeBron James for massive dunk
Andre Iguodala admits his jumper is broken.
That's an issue when it causes him to pass up open 3-point looks, like he did late in the first quarter of Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. With how cold the Golden State Warriors started, an Iguodala three - a 34.9-percent proposition during the regular season and a 31.9-percent look during the playoffs - was a favorable one.
But Iguodala passed it up, and anyone who had an issue with that forgot about it within the next few seconds.
Iguodala instead opted to dribble, lull LeBron James to sleep, and then blow by the two-time NBA Finals MVP for a quarter-ending dunk. It was nasty:
The Warriors finished the opening frame down 29-19, having shot 6-of-21 overall and 1-of-5 from outside. Recent history suggests they won't stay cold for long, especially if Iguodala is making aggressive plays like this.
