Andre Iguodala: 'I got some funny calls out the blue from like three teams'
Andre Iguodala: But I got some funny calls out the blue from like three teams. It was pretty funny. I got two calls around free agency from some folks that I had relationships [with]. They were with other teams I didn’t even know they were with. They reached out asking. And then at a golf tournament, I played with somebody who asked me if they would save the spot. So that’s pretty funny.

More on this storyline
Along with being a champion four times over, Andre Iguodala also proved he was much more than an athlete during a 19-year NBA career that he now says is officially over. Iguodala, a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, told Andscape that he is retiring from the NBA after 19 seasons. “It’s just the right time,” Iguodala, 39, told Andscape in a phone interview. “Time started to get limited for me and I didn’t want to put anything in the back seat. I didn’t want to have to try to delegate time anymore. Especially with on the court, off the court with family. A lot. “You want to play at a high level. But then family is a lot. My son is 16 and then two girls. So, [I’m] looking forward to seeing them grow up in those important years.” -via Andscape / October 20, 2023
Why is now the right time to retire? Andre Iguodala: I know I can still play, but the body can only take so much of what the body can take. And then just the lane that I’ve been able to open up with [business partner] Rudy [Cline-Thomas] and what we’ve been able to build off the court, I felt like it was a good time. The timing is right for that. It’s similar to when I went to the Warriors and I wanted to get into the tech space. How often can you marry the on-court opportunities where we are were winning with the off-the-court? In that market, opportunities are very rare as well. -via Andscape / October 20, 2023
Did you the Warriors or another NBA team try to sign you for your 20th season? Andre Iguodala: The Warriors always left the door open. They’ve always been gracious towards me. It’s always been love with them. And then obviously, I have a spot in my heart for Steph. That’s always been my man. He’s just a phenomenal human being. But I would have loved to play with Chris Paul, too. That would’ve been fun. He and I spoke a few times and been trying to be open to whenever he needed me to help him transition on everything that goes on within the organization. -via Andscape / October 20, 2023
