Andre Iguodala Once Gave A Warriors Teammate A Free Car Based On A Dare Of Running Naked Through The Team Plane

[Source] - Soon after the confetti fell in Cleveland, the Warriors chartered a plane for Las Vegas to celebrate. Iguodala offered McAdoo his souped-up Jeep Wrangler if he'd strip naked and streak up and down the aisle of the plane. McAdoo accepted the dare, and thrilled in driving his new vehicle to the facility each of his next two seasons with the Warriors.

Asked about the episode, Iguodala says with a Cheshire grin, "There may or may not be video in my phone."

Listen, locker room culture is different. I get that. We've all been a part of a locker room at some point, obviously not at the professional level. But we've been in locker rooms. People are dared to do weird shit all the time. But this? This is just uh, weird to say the least. 

That said, I'm doing this 100 out of 100 times if I'm James Michael McAdoo. A chance for a free souped up Jeep Wrangler just to streak up and down the team plane? I mean these dudes have already seen me naked in the shower so what's the big deal. We're not seeing anything new here. Granted, I don't know who else was on the plane, but I'm assuming it's players, coaches and probably some front office guys. No biggie. I'm getting a free car out of this. I don't have to have my girlfriend drop me off at practice anymore. I can drive myself. 

What I really need is to hear more of these team bets. Remember Lou Williams won $15,000 on the team bus: 

There's all the gambling stories from the Wizards leading to Gilbert Arenas bringing in a gun to the locker room. Give me these stories. I want to know what millionaires are betting and daring. Good to see Iggy going with the classic I dare you to streak move though. No matter how rich you are boys will be boys I guess. 

I would have also loved to be a fly on the wall as McAdoo explained to his girlfriend how he got a brand new Jeep.
