Talking Watches: With Andre Iguodala
This is the summer of Andre Iguodala. The 31-year-old small forward for the Golden State Warriors is fresh off winning the MVP of this year's NBA finals. He's flying all over the world talking to artists and designers, presenting at the ESPY Awards, and becoming the king of New York Men's Fashion Week. In between it all, he sat down with us to talk about something that he holds very close to his heart – watches. This is your official HODINKEE Talking Watches with 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala.
