4x Warriors Champion Retires From NBA

After 19 seasons in the NBA, Andre Iguodala has officially called it a career. The four-time champion with the Golden State Warriors revealed today in an interview with Andscape that he is retiring.

“It’s just the right time,” Iguodala said to Marc J Spears. “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."

The last few years of Andre Iguodala's career have been filled with injuries, where he couldn't find much time on the basketball court. Last season, he only played eight games with the Golden State Warriors, and the season before he played only 31 games. Despite his late-career struggles, Iguodala still won a Finals MVP and four NBA Championships with the Warriors.

“We won four championships, that’s kind of unheard of,” Iguodala said. “There are only a handful to teams that can say that. You got the [Chicago] Bulls, the [Los Angeles] Lakers, [Boston]Celtics, us, and that’s it. No organization has been run like this. And I think it’s a testament to us believing in each other, playing the right way. The game was played beautifully and had perfect timing for me right there in my prime. And things just happen the way they were supposed to happen when they happened, and it makes you actually strengthen your faith. You just give it all the way up to someone else to say, ‘let me play to my maximum ability based on the work that I put in and the focus that what I have put into the game has paid off.’"

Make no mistake, Andre Iguodala has had a Hall of Fame-worthy career. He's a player that the Golden State Warriors franchise is incredibly indebted to and a massive key to their multiple championships.
