And after winning four NBA championships with the Warriors, and fresh off their most recent playoff appearance, his game has never been stronger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOff the court, Iguodala has earned respect, too--for his successful tech investments, his philanthropy, and increasingly for his contributions to the conversation about race in America. It is no surprise, then, that in his first book, Andre, with his cowriter Carvell Wallace, has pushed himself to go further than he ever has before about his life, not only as an athlete but about what makes him who he is at his core. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sixth Man \u003c\/i\u003etraces Andre's journey from childhood in his Illinois hometown to his Bay Area home court today. Basketball has always been there. But this is the story, too, of his experience of the conflict and racial tension always at hand in a professional league made up largely of African American men; of whether and why the athlete owes the total sacrifice of his body; of the relationship between competition and brotherhood among the players of one of history's most glorious championship teams. And of what motivates an athlete to keep striving for more once they've already achieved the highest level of play they could have dreamed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn drive, on leadership, on pain, on accomplishment, on the shame of being given a role, and the glory of taking a role on: This is a powerful memoir of life and basketball that reveals new depths to the superstar athlete, and offers tremendous insight into most urgent stories being told in American society today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndre Iguodala\u003c\/b\u003e is an American professional basketball player who has played for teams including the Philadelphia 76ers and the champion Golden State Warriors.
