Andre Iguodala's birthday is this Saturday, and the soon-to-be 33-year-old sent out a warning message to anyone thinking of wishing him a happy birthday this year -- you will be blocked.

Unfortunately for the Golden State Warriors forward, he may have used the wrong words to express his displeasure with the approaching birthday. As someone on Twitter politely asked, will that block look anything like "The Block" from Game 7 of last year's NBA Finals?

To which Iguodala responded:

The veteran isn't afraid to laugh about the infamous moment in Warriors history. Back in October, Iguodala told ESPN's Chris Haynesthat hadJ.R. Smithnot gotten in his way, he would've dunked the ball.

"People try to joke on me. I still get mentions all day from fans always talking about the block," he said. "Somebody just made a good play. What you want me to do?"
