Sonoran Hot Reads: Andre Iguodala named finalist for USA Olympic team

Will we see Iggy in Rio?

USA Basketball announced the 30 finalists to represent the country at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, and there is one Arizona Wildcats alum on the list. Andre Iguodala will get a shot at making the Coach K-led USA squad. Looking at some of the names that are on this list of 30, I don't like Iggy's chances of making the final 12-man roster, but it's still cool that he's at least getting a look.

- In other Warriors news, they dominated Cleveland on Monday, but the highlight came before the game, as Steve Kerr was in the building and drained a half-court shot underhanded:
