Iguodala: I didn't feel LeBron's groin kick

David Richard / USA TODAY Sports

Andre Iguodala may have lucked out, after all.

"Lucky" is probably the last word you'd associate with the Golden State Warriors swingman in Game 3 when he was on the receiving end of a below-the-belt kick from Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James.

However, Iggy revealed the next day he was unaffected by the dangerous play.

"You know what's crazy? I did not feel it," he told ESPN's Chris Haynes on Thursday.

"When I look back at it, I was like, 'Oh, I didn't even know this happened,'" he said. "Somebody told me about it. I didn't know what happened, but I'm not going to be the one to say someone should not play, because you want everybody to be at full strength, right?"

James appeared to connect his foot in between Iguodala's legs while trying to draw a shooting foul. That prompted the 33-year-old's former teammate Marreese Speights to send Iggy well wishes in regards to having children.

That play wasn't only painless, but it saw Iguodala notch a crucial block on James to help the Warriors hold on and win 118-113 at The Q.
