Golden State Warriors veteran small forward Andre Iguodala is 35-years-old and has a lot of miles on his body. Yet, when you watch the swingman play for the Dubs, you wouldn't be able to tell he has appeared in 1,108 regular season games and logged over 37,000 minutes during his NBA career.

So, what is Iguodala's secret to being so nimble after all this years? Genes and a good diet.

“Honestly, this is just a personal opinion, just got really good genes,” Iguodala said, via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area. “Got really good genes, but protecting the genes at the same time.

“Watching what you put in the body. Sleep. I drink a lot of water. I don't drink anything but water — played a big role. I have philosophies on what the body needs and it's helping me. That's just my personal thing.”
