Iguodala reacts to Giannis block that looks eerily familiar

Share

The block heard 'round the world Wednesday night prompted quite the reaction from Andre Iguodala, who has been on the receiving end of one such play himself.

In Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo blocked a shot attempt by Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton that could have tied the score with just over one minute left in the game.

Giannis' clutch block might have saved the game. Had the ball gone in and the Bucks didn't respond on the ensuing possession, the Suns potentially would've had one last shot to win before the final buzzer.

Warriors fans -- and Iguodala -- are all too familiar with the block of a potentially huge basket in an NBA Finals game. And The Greek Freak's block was eerily similar to the one LeBron James had on Iguodala in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.

In fact, Iguodala agreed with the comparison, prompting a response from Draymond Green, his Warriors teammate on that squad.

Warriors fans might not want to re-live the block that helped seal Golden State's fate in that decisive game, but it's hard not to notice the similarities.
