CLEVELAND — Golden State's Andre Iguodala has been voted NBA Finals MVP.
The former Arizona Wildcats standout didn't start a game all season until Steve Kerr inserted him into the lineup in Game 4 after the Warriors trailed 2-1.
Iguodala defended LeBron James most often and delivered plenty of offense of his own, scoring 25 points in the clincher.
Cavaliers fans booed, believing James should have won even in a losing effort.
The Golden State Warriors won their first NBA championship since 1975, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.
Stephen Curry and Iguodala each had 25 points for the Warriors, who won the final three games after Cleveland had taken a 2-1 lead.
The Warriors overcame LeBron James' best efforts in the series and followed their 67-win regular season with a title after none of their players had any previous NBA Finals experience entering the series.
