Since entering the NBA in 2004 after a stellar two seasons at the University of Arizona, Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76’ers) has emerged as the main attraction in Philly. The same fickle fan base that once cheered for Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson is now behind Iguodala as the Sixers take on the Miami Heat’s trio of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in the NBA Playoffs. Iguodala is a master at stealing the ball from opponents and has a solid all-around game, which helped turn the Sixers around in just a year and jettisoned them back into the hunt for a championship. Iguodala lists videogames as one of his hobbies, so when he’s not on the real court, he’s likely playing basketball or football on Xbox 360. The NBA star talks about his gaming habits in this exclusive interview.
