Therefore, Iguodala’s eventual retirement plans lines up with his current contract through 18 NBA seasons. He has no plans to try to follow Vince Carter, who retired this summer at age 43 following 22 NBA seasons. The reason: Iguodala wants to help his wife, Christina, with raising their teenage son (Andre Taylor II) more closely as he approaches his high school years. “He lives a rich and soft life. So I have to prepare him to be self-sufficient,” Iguodala said with a hint of playfulness and seriousness. “He’s smart enough, but he hasn’t dealt with any danger. Coming from where we come from, it helps us in terms of having street awareness. You have to scope the scene and know there is danger around. But he’s so comfortable that I have to reign him in.”
