Andre Iguodala is way more than just a professional basketball player.

The soon-to-be free agent is making a late-night TV show, according to The Washington Post.

Iguodala is teaming up with a startup called Cheddar, which was founded by Jon Steinberg.

The show's title: "Evenings with Andre."

From the Post:

The two hope to sell the show to a premium TV network or streaming service like Netflix or Amazon, and split the proceeds. If no premium buyers emerge, Cheddar will broadcast it on Facebook, Twitter, and its own streaming platforms.

“You can assume we’ve talked to everybody, from the obvious Amazon and Netflix all the way down,” Steinberg told the Post.

“There’s going to be a time when my basketball career is over and I’m going to have aspirations outside of basketball,” Iguodala said.

The show will reportedly be filmed during the summer.

Iguodala will also co-host (with Steph Curry) an event called The Players Technology Summit from Aug. 14-16 in San Francisco.

It's possible Iguodala does not return to the Warriors next season, as there are reportedly many teams in the market for his services.
