While Steve Kerr and Bob Myers prepare for the NBA Draft, Warriors Wire is checking in with ex-Dubs at the Disney World campus.
Although Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson’s streak of five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals is over, some of their former Golden State Warriors teammates will be on the court in the Orlando Bubble.
On Wednesday, former Warriors Andre Iguodala, JaVale McGee and Quinn Cook laced up for the opening game of the NBA Finals.
Golden State’s former sixth man tallied seven points on 3-of-7 shooting from the field with six assists, five rebounds and a block in 25 minutes.

Despite starting most of the playoffs, Frank Vogel and the Lakers opted not to play McGee any minutes in game two.
With McGee glued to the bench, Cook was the only ex-member of the Warriors suiting up for the NBA Finals. The Duke product nailed a 3-pointer in his lone minute of action in game one.

Anthony Davis led the way for the Warriors, marking 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting from the field with nine boards, five assists and three blocks.
LeBron James backed the Kentucky product with a near triple-double performance. The MVP runner up recorded 25 points with 13 rebounds and nine assists. The duo of Davis and James was enough to slow down the red-hot Heat in game one, 116-98.
