Andre Igoudala wins the NBA finals MVP!!!!!

by Stefan Allen

In the 2014-15 season, the Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship. Andre Iguodala won the NBA finals MVP. He was a good team player, and he showed leadership. Andre Iguodala represent clear (C.L.E.A.R. comes from the Eagle Academy’s Eagle Foundation, and it stands for Confidence, Leadership, Effort, Academic excellence, Resilience). The reason I said he represents clear because he played with confidence, he show leadership, put effort into the game, went to college, and he never gives up (resilience). 

Andre Iguodala was the only person in the NBA to win an NBA finals MVP without starting a single game in the NBA regular season. He didn’t start because the Golden State Warriors need a good bench, so Steve Kerr had Andre Iguodala sit on the bench. The warriors had a good bench and a good starting five. He had his career highest, 25 points. He had a good history. In 2004-05 season, he had won the All-rookie first team. In 2010-11 season, he won All-defensive second team, also in 2013-14 season, he won All defensive first team. In the 2014-15 season he got a ring, AND he won the NBA finals MVP. He stopped Lebron James, and got him frustrated.

Here are the top 8 starting lineups for the Golden State Warriors throughout the 2014-15 season.

Andre Igoudala’s goals.

Andre Iguodala never started a single game in the 2014-15 season, but he helped the Warriors bench and made the whole team better.

During the season, Iguodala said, “I want to dominate a little more, just be a level beyond everyone else. I expect that from myself.” Andre Iguodala tried to reach that goal, and he had a good season and the best playoff season he ever had in his life.

Next season I think he is going to be starting for the Warriors and have a great season.
