Heat news: Andre Iguodala on the differences between Steve Kerr and Erik Spoelstra

New Miami Heat small forward Andre Iguodala says Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and Miami coach Erik Spoelstra are pretty different.

Kerr is more relaxed, while Spoelstra is direct and fierce, just like Heat president and Hall of Famer Pat Riley:

Iguodala said Steve Kerr "has Phil Jackson zen more relaxed," while Spoelstra "is direct and intent on how he delivers the message," which he says is perfect approach with young players

Iguodala is back in San Francisco, as the Heat are taking on the Warriors on Monday night. It will be Iguodala's second game with Miami. He will get a tribute video from the Warriors before tip off. Golden State guard Klay Thompson, who is injured, will introduce Iguodala to the crowd.

A former Finals MVP, Iguodala won three championships with Kerr and the Warriors. The Dubs were forced to trade Iguodala this past summer in order to create cap space to sign All-Star point guard D'Angelo Russell as part of the Kevin Durant sign-and-trade deal with the Brooklyn Nets.

Golden State, of course, traded Russell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal which brought them former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, but losing Iggy hurt.

Last season for the Warriors, Iguodala averaged 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 50.0 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 58.2 percent from the free-throw line. The now 36-year-old swingman put up 9.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the 2019 playoffs, where the Dubs lost to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals in six games.

Iguodala and Kerr will surely have a nice hug before the Heat and Warriors tip off. Those two had some great times together, while Iggy is hoping to create good memories with Spoelstra.
