Four-time NBA champions and 2015 MVP of the NBA Finals Andre Iguodala announced his retirement from the NBA on Friday after 19 seasons in the league.
Andre Iguodala is calling it quits after 19 seasons in the NBA that resulted in four championships. Iguodala, 39, who spent eight of his last 10 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, announced his retirement on Friday, just four days before the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. 'It's just the right time,' Iguodala 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.
You want to play at a high level. But then family is a lot. My son is 16, and then two girls. So, looking forward to seeing them grow up in those important years.' Iguodala said he had interest from the Warriors and other teams about returning but ultimately decided to retire. Iguodala was drafted out of the University of Arizona in 2004 by the Philadelphia 76ers with the ninth overall pick. He spent his first eight seasons in Philadelphia and was selected to his lone All-Star Game in 2012.
