NBA's Iguodala talks tech investing and VC pals

NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala—who helped lead the Golden State Warriors last week to their first championship since 1975—said Thursday he's taking advantage of his proximity to Silicon Valley to capitalize off the court as a tech investor.

"We have some great relationships with VCs [venture capitalists] out there, mainly Andreessen Horowitz. They've kind of taken me under their wing and ... showed me some things in the portfolio and how I can integrate my brand into some of their brands," Iguodala told CNBC's "Squawk Box" in an interview.

Iguodala said he follows Marc Andreessen on Twitter, and that's where he gets most of Andreessen's information.
