Four-time NBA champion Andre Iguodala believes the LeBron James-led Miami Heat had a major hand in starting the small-ball revolution around the league.
During a recent podcast appearance, the 39-year-old explained his thoughts on the matter.
“Bron does well with shooters or guys diving to the basket,” he said. “And so, he doesn’t do well with midrange guys. It’s either you’re a stretch or you’re at the basket for a lob. And when he played with Miami and they lost to Dallas, they made subtle tweaks. It’s interesting — you started seeing certain tweaks where Chris Bosh would be at the 5. It didn’t look small ’cause LeBron’s got the ball, and he’s a big human being with the rock a lot…but they tweaked it against San Antonio, and I think that’s when you started seeing smaller basketball. Nobody really talks about that.”
