GOT7’s BamBam And Golden State Warriors’ Andre Iguodala Are Officially Besties
GOT7‘s BamBam is more than NBA (the National Basketball Association) team Golden State Warriors‘ Global Ambassador!
Ahead of his history-making halftime performance, BamBam was given a tour of the Chase Center arena and even met the players.

BamBam and Andrew Wiggins clearly have become just as friendly IRL as they were virtually after BamBam helped secure him a spot at the 2022 NBA All-Stars.
It was cool getting to meet him…I enjoyed it.

Still, BamBam was able to make friends with other players too. 3x NBA Champion and New York Times Best Selling Author Andre Iguodala made conversation with BamBam, admiring his style, particularly his expensive watch. The now-viral clip even got a response from BamBam on Twitter!

The watch in question is Jacob & Co‘s “Astronomia Solar Jewelry Planets Zodiac.” It sells for over $400,000 USD!
The Astronomia is the epitome of 21st century haute horlogerie and a globally recognized symbol of Jacob & Co watchmaking expertise. A world-first both in the boldness of its unprecedented concept and its entirely mechanical construction, the Astronomia has gone beyond impressive horological achievements and has been regarded as an outstanding multidisciplinary engineering achievement. Re-engineered from the ground up, the Astronomia Solar is the most compact in our peerless collection of Astronomia calibers.

This watch is priceless for BamBam, though, because, thanks to it, he and one of his favorite athletes, Andre Iguodala, are basically besties now.
After the Warriors won their game against the Los Angeles Lakers, BamBam shared a photo of flexing the Warriors’ NBA Championship rings, and his iconic watch made an appearance too.

Andre responded to the tweet, commenting, “Mr. Nice Watch.” It’s BamBam’s new unofficial nickname!
