Iguodala Says Daughter Was Taunted Over LeBron’s 2016 Game 7 Block

His account shows a viral sports highlight can turn into years of taunting that still hurt him as a parent.

Overview

  • Andre Iguodala told Richard Jefferson that his daughter has been mocked at school with “Blocked by James” jabs tied to LeBron’s famous chase‑down block.
  • Iguodala praised the play as “amazing” and said the crowd’s reaction felt like a “sonic boom,” but he added the insults hurt him as a protective father.
  • The block came late in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals and helped Cleveland complete a 3–1 series comeback that remains one of the game’s most replayed moments.
  • Reporters say the play’s persistence on social media has turned it into a long‑lived meme that fuels trolling and schoolyard taunts years after the game.
  • Coverage notes past child‑support filings reported in earlier years as background, and no new legal developments were reported in these interviews.
