Former NBA forwards Richard Jefferson and Andre Iguodala reminisced about their legendary battle in the 2016 NBA Finals, where the Cleveland Cavaliers completed a historic comeback against the Golden State Warriors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even though Iguodala was part of the Warriors, he was game enough to guest on Jefferson\u2019s show, which made a series to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Cavaliers\u2019 milestone championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But of course, it also became a flex-off. Jefferson and Iguodala debated over who \u201ccaught more bodies\u201d<\/a> during their careers, as they were both terrific dunkers.<\/p>\n

Jefferson mentioned Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, Dikembe Mutombo, and Alonzo Mourning as his victims. Iguodala, meanwhile, said he posterized Duncan, Mourning, Yao Ming, Paul Pierce, and Rasheed Wallace.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really think you got more bodies than me? More hops is one thing. But more bodies? I was a body collector, bro,\u201d said Jefferson.<\/p>\n

Of course, it was all in good fun.<\/p>\n

Jefferson and Iguodala never became teammates, although it nearly happened twice. Iguodala arrived at Arizona a year after Jefferson left to enter the NBA. Iguodala was signed by the Warriors a season after the team traded Jefferson to the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n

Just imagine how lively the locker room would be had they been on the same team. They would probably have a dunk tally after every game.<\/p>\n

For the record, Iguodala had 1,504 career dunks, while Jefferson logged 1,257 career slams, according to Basketball Reference.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jefferson has now joined the group of LeBron Smith, Kevin Love, JR Smith, Channing Frye, and Tristan Thompson<\/a> in their championship reunion in Europe, where they have been playing golf, drinking wine, and having a grand time.<\/p>\n
