Andre Iguodala credits Rob Pelinka for having him prepared during NBA career

On Thursday, Andre Iguodala made official what most had long assumed in that he was retiring from the NBA this season. The announcement came in the most 2023 way possible: via a newly-created podcast.

Alongside former teammate Evan Turner, Iggy launched the Point Forward podcast with the first episode on Friday dedicated to his retirement and reminiscing on his time in the NBA.

While Iguodala is more commonly associated with the Warriors and the dynasty at Golden State, he was well into his NBA career before moving out to the West Coast. And during most of those early years, Iguodala was represented by current Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka.
