The list of on-court accolades runs long for Andre Iguodala - NBA All-Star, 3x NBA Champion, Finals MVP, Gold Medalist - but his best attributes may be off the court. Therefore, it's no surprise that Duncan and Davis locked him in to be the first ever interview on The Long Shot, and he does not disappoint. In this wide ranging interview, Andre digs deep into several topics, including leadership, dealing with social media, creating bonds with teammates, and building his budding business ventures. Plus, he goes above and beyond with his answers to the "Undrafted" segment, where he gives some 'insider tips' on some hot products. Shhhhh... we'll keep it just between us. It's all here on The Long Shot.
