Andre Iguodala has been making a lot of moves since his retirement from the league. But none was as surprising as his being announced as a key member of the NBA. Andre Iguodala was recently announced as the acting executive director of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).

With this new role, new responsibilities have fallen on the shoulders of the 4x champion. Iguodala does not want to fail and wants to help the players and the league coexist with no trouble. This has unfortunately led to the Warriors legend having some trouble in his personal life.

Andre Iguodala is getting ready

In a recent episode of the Point Forward podcast, Andre Iguodala shared the troubles that he had to go through when he was initially given the opportunity to have this role. With the new TV deal that is to be made soon, Iguodala is not sure how things will go for him in the future.

This has placed a lot of stress on the 39-year-old. Iguodala wants to add more value based on his role, and this has been driving him for some time now. Iguodala also has other ongoing responsibilities in his life, like his venture capital fund. So with everything on his plate right now, Iguodala may question himself whether he is actually ready to face all these challenges.
