Iman Shumpert
Iman Shumpert is an American basketball player who currently plays for the ‘Sacramento Kings’ of the ‘National Basketball League’ (NBA). Born and raised in Illinois, US, Iman started playing basketball with his school teams. While growing up in a violent neighborhood, Iman got into a lot of fights but continued to play basketball. During his first year at ‘Georgia Tech University,’ Iman was the fourth-leading scorer of his team. During his final year in college, he was drafted by the ‘New York Knicks’ in 2011. In 2012, Iman finished at the 5th position in the ‘NBA Rookie of the Year’ line-up. Despite suffering from injuries in the first few seasons for the ‘Knicks,’ Iman’s performance was decent. However, this was not enough for him to maintain a spot in the team, and in 2015, he was traded to the ‘Cleveland Cavaliers.’ There, too, he repeated his above-average performance and mostly got sidelined by injuries. In early 2018, he was acquired by the ‘Sacramento Kings,’ following a three-team trade. Iman did not make his debut for the ‘Kings’ in the 2017–2018 season and made his contract valid only from the 2018–2019 season.

Iman Shumpert said Sunday on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that he “felt for” Khloé Kardashian amid her tumultuous romance with his former Cavaliers teammate, Tristan Thompson.

Iman Shumpert and JR Smith were very valuable pieces for the 2016 NBA champions Cleveland Cavaliers.

Few men have torched NBA defenses the way Kobe Bryant did during his two-decade-long career in the league. The Black Mamba was an assassin on the court who relished in ripping the hearts out of opposing teams and fans alike with late-game takeovers, and the New York Knicks were on the receiving end of quite a few of those.

Iman Shumpert Defends Russell Westbrook's Play This Season: "If You Want $44 Million Russ Give Him The Ball And Run Everything For Russ"

Russell Westbrook's move to the Los Angeles Lakers has backfired for all parties involved. Westbrook has seen his reputation as one of the better guards in the league take a hit, while the Lakers are stuck with a player who just does not fit well alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The criticism of Russ was reaching ridiculous levels at times this season and he recently got some support from an unlikely source.
