Andre Iguodala has an NBA Finals MVP, three championships and two All-Defensive selections on his resume but is also 36 years old and hasn't played since June.
That didn't stop Miami Heat president Pat Riley from calling his team's new acquisition "elite."
He made the determination after the team "went all-in on research" that included delving into analytics, watching film and having conversations with those around the veteran, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com).
"He's an elite defender, an elite team defender, elite assist-to-turnover percentage, he ranks up into the top of those areas that are real tangible," Riley said.
