Iman Shumpert Joins Q and D | Knuckleheads S5: E7 | The Players' Tribune

- Oh, what’s up, Shump!? NBA Champion, rapper, and fashion king Iman Shumpert joins Knuckleheads this week! We get going on Chicago basketball, of course, and Shump explains where he learned to talk his talk, playing all over the city, and why that Chicago streetball intensity is like nothing else. He talks balling out in high school - getting paid by his brother to dunk it and wanting to face off against the best city schools because of … the girls? He gets into his decision to go to Georgia Tech over UNC and discusses how his injury delayed his ascent to the league. Post-school, Iman’s draft process was pretty unique, specifically when he got into a fight during his workout for the Bulls and why that attitude actually attracted NBA teams. Then it’s to the mecca, and Shump explains what it was like playing in NYC as a rookie, his Knickstape, learning to understand the NY media and why his loyalty to Melo will never leave. He talks how he was unsure about getting traded to Cleveland, what it was like to win a championship and why he had to reset himself after winning. Then Iman bounces around the league - how he loved Sacramento but Houston not so much, and what his short experience with the Nets last season was like. He ain’t done there, though! Teyana Taylor. Delivering their kids. And where he’s taking his rap career. Shump brings everything! Don’t miss out!

I love that “First person to bust yo ass” question...
Yes. I wish they change it up a little. Like someone who gave you work, that ppl wouldn't think of. I think Kyrie said Jose Calderon once and I was like man, that wouldn't be a name most would even know or think of..
Pause
Love that question as well. Only real NBA fans know everyone can hoop and you can get that work from any body in the league on any given night
My favorite part of the podcast
That’s what separate them from other basketball podcasts 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Man these podcast really help me through some dark ass times, respect to y’all
Edit: thank y’all for the support dudes 🤙🏽
There's a light 🌟 at the end of the tunnel friend 🙏
@@alxndrlpz amen 🙏🏽
God got you. Keep pushing through, you’re still here for a reason. Walking testimony for someone else.
Most relatable comment I've read on the net...
Run dis MAN his likes y'all
Hey same here I’m going through the TOUGHEST time of my life. When I mean TOUGHEST it’s a understatement. Fighting giving up thoughts. Life has been a burden since childhood, 36 and got hit with a situation I thought I would never be in. This is therapy after work before bed. 💪🏾
He pulled up to interview without a shirt I’m 💀 lol
Hood shit😂😂
@@brunopires7284 4eva
Lol “pulled up” without leaving his house, he gotta do it in person next time too
I respect the way he talk about his father! Shout out to his parents, they raised a real one.
What's a real one?
@@jboogy5039 in other words a good man
@@travg912 oh ok
We only know what they “celebrities” allow us to know and we dont know what’s important just hear bits and pieces but as a fan of basketball we shouldn’t even worry bout his off court persona cuz if it wasnt for basketball we wouldn’t even know him! Todays fans wanna be right next to they’re favorite rapper/athlete etc. all that said to say basically how you know he was raised right bro he could jus be well trained when it comes to the media nd interviews
@@yomoney9469 💯 you’re entitled to your own opinion for sure. Ima always support a black man that positively represents monogamy, marriage, and fatherhood. Idk buddy in real life, ima slide with him just off the principles he publicly stands for, especially in the world today that doesn’t stand for anything positive or uplifting.
The toys behind Iman on his shelf LMFAOOOOOOOOOO. One is bent over and the other one is hitting it from the back with his hands in the air LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Every well rounded man has some type of action figure, statue, cards, collectibles collection.
@@trilliam8806 Re-read the comment.
Haha didn’t notice that at all. Joker and harlequin
Didn’t even catch that lol
Gotta Get Derrick Rose On Here🏀
I cosign the shit outta that comment! 💯
I agree. I wonder what's taking so long
ASAP
Facts!
So far, this is a top 5 interview on this podcast. It ranks with Kobe Bryant's, Dikembe Mutumbo's, Rasheed Wallace's and Al Harrington's.
Feel like you missed the first season. And you didn't mention gil...
Cynthia Cooper was dope
I love interviews where they let the guess just talk.
Let's them express themselves more..that's why we all here 👌🏾
Shump can have a conversation with himself 😂
For real lol
Crazy how I literally posted yesterday about him being a good story teller(he was talking about his grudge against Paul Pierce lol) and today this pops up lol 🔥
Shump's storytelling skillz up to par with his shooting early on his career. my man!
Iman looks like a skinny amare stoudemire
Shump’s got personality. Must’ve been hell of fun to be around as a teammate
I enjoyed Iman Shumpert's time on the New York Knicks. Love how he talks about his parents. Upbringing is huge, never take it for granted.
To see Rafer “Skip to my lou” Alston on this program would be dopeee!!!
Remember that Knicks team on 2k, gotta guard Melo n Amare then Kid n J.R hanging out on the wing and then when you finally force a missed shot Tyson Chandler gets the offensive rebound 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
I retired with that team. Was killing everybody. Felton was nice 2
@@thedon8976 people used to sleep on Felton but bruh was a sneaky bucket, and don’t leave him open
Especially Melo because his three point shot was unguarded and money all day
FACTS!
I’man was 86 overall lol
Tyson tall a** cleaned the glass lol

The Real Art Of Story Telling
Iman lookin like a younger Big Gipp from Goodie Mob
And Amari'e Stoudemire 😆
It’s the braids
Damn i never peeped!! Lmao a lot of mfs don’t even remember Big Gipp!
lol Facts
@@dAtVAkidd94 soul food...survival kit...gipp goodies what Dey know bout tha goodie mob
He needs to go back to sac... kings looking real decent right now n I feel he can bring that defensive intensity as he did b4 w/ the kings
Shump is a Pro's Pro. He is a true vet. NBA teams need him in there locker room. Clippers need to make that call
He fresh off a hotbox 😂
Yeah my nigga RAMBLIN ain’t he? 😂 #jeremiahphillipsvoice 😂😂
@@diegotheyorkie1420 Lmaoo
@@diegotheyorkie1420 he always been like that. Hyper asl. Lol
@@TheIcemanthomas word he is like that every interview
Dope interview. Love hearing all of the Chi Town stories. D Rose needs to be next on deck.
Plenty of legends have been on this show,this is the realest hooper on here so far.
I'm thankful to all these podcasts.You don't realize how it makes my driving commute so much easier.
Best episode so far ...Iman likes to talk so I'm glad they just let him and didn't cut him off
Iman gotta start acting 😂😂
I was thinkin that too
He acting now...on CHI
Im a chick and I love this! I think Iman is one of my new favs.. I love that he appreciates good home black parent training!
Love his laughter ,being real and from the Chicago
I'm doing my next zoom job interview shirtless
😂
@@ShutterSpeedGaming facts
Lol 💪🏼
I think Shump would’ve been an all-star if he didn’t tear his acl
Possibly but he got shoeboxed into the 3 and D role. The Knicks shipped him and JR off before he could show what he had on a bad team
And if Mike Woodson wasn't in love with JR Smith*
His career was never quite the same after that. And he was a high flying rookie too.
No he’s average.. multiple players have had better stat lines & haven’t been a allstar. But just off the strength, his realness & shump being shump he should be an AS to me.
@@josheasy6716 I’m obviously implying stats would be better if he didn’t get hurt....reading comprehension smh some of y’all just talk just to talk on here
New found level of respect for iman
.....PUT HIM AT THE ONE💯🎒
As a huge fan, the best Knicks teams of the last 20 years are the Knickstape.
The year they lost to the Pacers..such a heartbreaking sports moment for me.
We need more players like Shumpert. That is a classic New York Knicks type player. That gritty, defensive minded guy who can get his teammates (and fans alike) back into a game with his energy .
Great interview! Didn’t think I was gonna enjoy it this much. Keep up the good work!
I watch any video with Iman, he's a great interview!
U sleepin then u jump and wake up lmao love these brudahz man
This was a great ass interview, much respect iman
I remember that dunk he had in high school where he got a tech. Was against Hinsdale Central. He shut the crowd up with that shit
My guys killed this interview
Loved this interview with the dawg Iman. Champ for life 🔒
Love all the knucklehead podcast but this is one of the best.
Shump got a big mouth
I’m a Knicks fan from Japan
I’m so happy if someone makes subtitles .
I have been waiting for him to get on this episode
Iman is always a good interview
Man I miss Shump in Sac. Wish he could’ve stuck around more than half a season.
This bout to be heat
Yall gotta get Drose next 🔥🔥🔥
Somebody give D Miles some Mucinex. Lol!! Keep doing y'all thing.
Mann! 😂😂
Yessir been waitin on shortie to come on. Good shit folk!
I’m here for the first question only. He could have been a really solid player but unfortunately an injury never let him get to his potential
I learned so much about Chicago from this podcast 😭🤣.
Best city in the planet. Idc what no one say shordy. But I guess I’m biased tho
Tks from irealnd I'm new to basketball you guys great ty knuckle heads learn alot watching
This episode so Chi town!! I love it!!! Outwest shit 💪🏿

G-$hitt 16-13-12
Lol what this man represent?
@@shotzrangout in Chicago Fin = 5. So he’s saying basically on Vice Lord or anything under the 5. It’s the funniest thing watching Chicago dudes gang bang right under ppls nose on National tv. Always pay attention to Tony Allen and KG they can’t help themselves.
@@wanningtonamore1229 I'm know all that I'm on the Southside. But what he claim? VL or BPS? I never seen him throw up the fin or VL so 🤷🏾♂️
@@shotzrangout I can stand ah straighten.. I heard Shump saying Gee, over n over thru out this interview..
Piece n Luv
Get Micheal Beasley on here
This interview so Chicago I love it
This top 5 for sure
Great interview
Good interview.. from the crib too
Let’s go We here Out West Chicago In the Build
Somebody gotta tell Q, The Golden Dome is NOT at Columbus Park Lmfaoooo
Exactly, that’s Garfield my boi!
"He can't guard me until his braids get long".😆
Great ,great interview again a true baller !!
I would love to hear the shit they edited out (because they definitely did).
Y’all really need to get players outside of the nba like the and one players. I think a Raefer Alston interview would be dope. Ask him what was going through his head when he hit Eddie house upside the head. Definitely a classic moment in nba history. House was lighting his ass up
Top 5 Interviews
Josh Selby giving out tht B-More luv shor this shor tht😁😁😁
Iman lowkey like a Baby Q that Chicago vibe ain’t leave dem !
Shump was glassing Jimmer shit 😂
Lol @ Melo catching strays
You guys should have L. O. On the show
Yes, I want Lamar Odom on the show.
Idk. Odom my boy but did you see his Drink champ interview 🥴🥴🥴
@@AcePlaya4ever that was sad
@@AcePlaya4ever idk why he even agreed to that
I was just thinking that. Maybe they could get Maggette or Elton Brand instead.
Do an all the smoke crossover special
Yo I know that exactly feeling, playing HS ball in Camden, NJ was an experience. Teammates scared as hell but me and my ol homie Danny Fortson would thrive in that hostel environment. Nothing like City Ball.
Cincinnati Danny Fortson?
Camden high?
@@RikiRouseScott Bruh he really got me wanting to know about Danny Fortson...🤔😄
LOL Fortson was a straight goon
I ain't nothing special, never played more the high school ball. My Mom used to stare at me without saying anything. Drove me nuts! She never told me why she did it , I never asked.
Fast forward 25 years. My son comes out to visit me. We are hanging out in the garage and I am just staring at him looking at how is now a young man. I am thinking how proud I am of him. Then he asks me "pops why do you keep looking at me?" At that moment, I knew why my Mom used to do that. I told him how his grandma used to do that to me and how I just realized why she did and that one day, he will do that with his children! 24:25
Shump is only 30!!! How is this man not on a roster? 3 & D..(tho it seems like his shot's been a lil iffy later in his career). I would still take his on my bench over Frank (scared to drive/shoot) Ntilikina everyday
You must've not been watching Frank this year 👀
@@realjcoop182 I have. Lemme guess you’re one of those ppl with such a low bar for him that the fact that he made a couple of 3s in a game makes u think he’s doing good?
1) He’s averaging 4.5 points. 2) He is still SCARED with open line to drive the ball to the hole 3) He has no confidence & routinely is a liability for the team cause he turns down shots. There’s a few instances this season where he was open, didn’t shoot & passed right into a turnover. He plays scared. I played ball...I can tell when someone is playing scared to fail
Man I was unstoppable with that 2012-13 Knicks team on 2K and I was automatic with my boy Novak
As a Knicks fan I feel like he should've never been traded. I'm glad he won the chip in Cleveland and I feel like he should still be in the league.
What program was used to have this set up in terms of graphic design?
Nice meeting you thank you
Would love to have time stamps!
i love Iman.
So when Drose going to be on the show?
Growing up I never tought of oak park as burb I mean proviso east is few blocks away 🤷🏼♀️
Dope video. Sick.
💝🖤😎=🔥🔥🔥🔥...Respect Westside Chicago Dude. I am from Chicago Ave/Cicero. Westinghouse Warrior. Much love to you for spitting out gems on other nba Brothers.... Respect!!!
Iman a cool ass nigga bro. He was a baller in them Knicks days. I appreciate this episode. Homie down to earth and not letting the fame taint his mind. Big Salute to that boy.
I remember people blaming his and D.Rose’s injuries on the Adidas they had on
The rockets are weird af
