Steph Curry and Andre Iguodala played pivotal roles in securing four NBA championships for the Golden State Warriors. Despite Iguodala's retirement, their strong friendship endures and Curry cheers him on whatever he gets into beyond his basketball career.
The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) just named Iguodala as their Acting Executive Director, Curry was one of the first to show his appreciation on social media:
"Big Moves @andre," captioned Curry on his post on X, formerly Twitter.
Andre Iguodala played for eight seasons with the Golden State Warriors and averaged 6.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 assists per game for the team.
His stay with the Dubs made a mark when he defended LeBron James in the 2015 NBA Finals and took home the 2015 NBA Finals MVP along with the team's first of four championships in seven years.
Iguodala now enjoys being in the world of business investments as a Venture Partner in the Catalyst Fund. He takes an interest in investing in underrepresented founders and entrepreneurs of tech companies.
In 2017, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant played host in the inaugural Players Technology Summit which was organized by Iguodala.
Andre Iguodala's appointment as Acting Executive Director of the NBPA
The NBPA has appointed Andre Iguodala for the Acting Executive Director position which was previously held by Tamika Tremaglio since January 2021. Tremagilio stepped down after successfully leading the union to the recent collective bargaining negotiations with the NBA.
Iguodala takes honor and pride in this new role and hopes his 19-year experience of playing in the NBA will help strengthen the union for current and future players:
“I am honored to take on this role and serve the players, who are the heart and soul of the NBA. I’m presented with a unique opportunity to take all that I’ve learned as a player over the course of my 19-year career and apply it to creating an even stronger and more influential union for current and future generations of players.
"I am thrilled to work alongside our extremely committed Executive Committee to lead the brotherhood through its next stage of advancement and development," Iguodala said in the NBPA's official statement.
Current NBPA President CJ McCollum praised the newest development and having the opportunity to work with Iguodala as the Executive Director. He also thanked Tremaglio for her service to the NBPA.
Meanwhile, Andre Iguodala has been part of the Executive Committee and is expected to bring valuable experience to his new role and build on what Tremagilio worked on with the NBPA.
Guess the Lakers players!
