With Andre Iguodala retiring after 19 seasons, there are officially no more Lute Olson-coached Wildcats playing in the NBA.
After the Golden State Warriors' series-ending loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs on Friday, former Arizona Wildcat Andre Iguodala retired from the NBA after 19 seasons.
Following his one season at Arizona, where he was an All-Pac-10 selection,"Iggy" was drafted ninth overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2004 NBA Draft, before he averaged 11.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game over his 19-year career. The following season, fellow ex-Wildcat Steve Kerr was named head coach of the Warriors and Golden State went to beat the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers squad in the NBA Finals; Iguodala was named Finals MVP. The Golden State dynasty won four championships in six appearances with Iguodala on the roster.
