VIDEO: ESPN Actually Aired Andre Iguodala Running Through Oracle Arena Tunnel Shouting NSFW Phrase

The thrill of victory, the agony of accidentally airing Iggy screaming at his beautiful hands after a game-sealing steal clinched Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Check out the live mishap, with ESPN blatantly blowing it again in the QB department.
Yup, those MFers truly are crazy, Iggy.
If you missed the game and are wondering why he is yelling at his hands in disbelief, it's because he stole the ball from Damian Lillard, among the most clutch players in the NBA, in the final seconds of the game to seal the win for the Dubs.
Iguodala has become a devastating defensive specialist over the course of his career. He was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2014 as a member of the Dubs. Iguodala averaged 1.51 steals in just over 32 minutes per game that season, leading the NBA in plus/minus per game with a +9. He also was tied for eighth in the league in defensive rating with 96.9.
Not much has changed, as Iggy continues to make a difference on the defensive end of the floor.
While his hands may be as "crazy" as he claims, his basketball IQ is what separates him from other veterans in his position. His court awareness is unparalleled, which allows him to have an impact on every play while he is out there.
As a former NBA Finals MVP in 2015 for his strong defense against LeBron James, you can expect Iggy to play a substantial role in the Warriors' success moving forward.
And you can expect the cameras to be on him the whole time, through every scream.
