The Golden State Warriors have been one of the most dominant teams of the past decade. Their accolades speak for themselves as the Dubs have established themselves as one of the greatest dynasties ever. One of the most integral parts of the dynasty alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green has been Andre Iguodala. After 19 successful seasons in the league, the veteran has decided to call it quits.

Although he might be out of the team and the league, his massive entrepreneurial success means that Iggy will still be close to Curry and Thompson.

A few days ago, TGL announced that Marc Lasry’s Avenue Sports Fund and four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry are the new owners of the San Fransisco side. Additionally, Iggy and Klay Thompson were also announced as minority owners.

Thanks to such ventures and investments, Iguodala has a massive $90 million net worth. In his 19 years in the league, playing for teams like the Warriors and the Miami Heat, the 2015 Finals MVP has earned $185 million in salaries alone.

Although his final years in the league didn’t prove to be really useful for the team, Iguodala is a Warriors legend regardless. He joined the Dubs in 2013 and has proved to be one of their greatest players ever.

Even the team owner recognizes his efforts. Joe Lacob, the owner, announced that he wished to retire Iguodala’s number 9 jersey back in 2019. This was even before he helped the team win their fourth NBA title in eight years! Iguodala retires with an average of 6.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.
