Andre Iguodala isn't mad at anybody who calls him Iggy.

"I don't love it, but I don't mind it," the three-time NBA champion said of his nickname during an Instagram Live broadcast Wednesday. "I've learned that sometimes you gotta just embrace certain things, and that's one thing I've learned to embrace."

There you have it folks... @andre has set the record straight on “Iggy” https://t.co/DOIC6bZ1Jg

The Memphis Grizzlies traded Iguodala to the Heat prior to February's deadline. The 36-year-old veteran did not play a game for the Grizzlies during a short but rocky tenure that began when the Golden State Warriors dealt him to clear cap space last summer.
