Iman needs his own podcast this mans is so GOOD at storytelling
Real talk
I was just thinking this
I’d definitely subscribe
His vlad interviews , epic.
Yessir
Damn that part about him saying let him shoot it from 40 is crazy. Because until Steph, you literally are taught that if someone shoots that it is the worst shot possible and don’t even worry about it. Let them do it. So you don’t even fathom the idea of what to do if someone consistently hits it, because its never happened. Now Steph comes and literally breaks that whole mold and you literally are just stuck because this shouldn’t be possible according to all basketball logic.
And there you have it....as a basketball fan and someone who plays on the weekends....everything he said is true. It's replicated in rec ball now as well. In today's basketball, the offense doesn't even care of the defense...in decades past basketball, offenses would try to trick the defense
I feel had the officiating stayed the same , with hand checking and all being fair then that would’ve kept the defense and offense balanced, bcuz over the years it seems refs favor the offense
@@Cashmere__ The rules favor the team with the ball to a large degree to the point that even rules that would help defenders, they were often not called until this season.
@@cycleoflife565 yea i agree thats why harden had a hard time adjusting
@@Cashmere__ Yup but he’s made his adjustments. Dude had 17 free throws last night but of course that was against the defensively challenged Lakers.
Iman is now one of my favorite people ever after I’ve listened to this whole 2 hour conversation. This man has every answer I wanted to hear
This is one of the REALEST interviews I've ever watched. I have a new found respect for Shumpert.

iman is a real dude. love the transparency. no ego, nothing.
Shumps analysis of Amare's rebounding numbers is as hilarious as it is straight genius
Twins I swear
LET IMAN TALK !!!! My guy was tryin to make interview awkward lol
Iman is a g, I appreciate his honesty and i hope he gets his own show.
Iman is such kool dude. I love to hear him talk and tell stories. And he's 100% right about MJ and the Bulls.
A dude from Chicago talking non biased about the Bulls lol okay
Iman was absolutely right about the Bulls.
Bulls were so strong defensively and mentally plus had the GOAT
@@GoGetYourShinebox lolol
@@smoothoperator1862 we got a Lebronica stan here folks 😂
This would have been a great interview if Bootleg Kev actually did his research, knew what he was talking about and didn’t cutoff/interrupt Shump on every topic.
And didn't be a LeBron D rider , was so gringe. You can tell he wanted support from Shump , but he kept it 100
@@izzy9189 exactly!
THANK YOU!! Dude is horrible
Facts bro was trying to d ride the cavs so bad 😭
he just a fan boy
I love how Iman puts Kev in his place on basketball facts. Shump is a great student of the game
On god then Bronsexuals swear they know basketball more then anyone😂relaaaxxx
To be fair, this guy is a very casual basketball fan.
Dude Iman is 100% real. Never heard him speak before.
go watch all his other interviews. If given the chance he's the one person I would want as a friend.
I love how nuanced shump is in his basketball analysis. These nba players forgot more basketball than any of us regular fans have ever known thats how much they know about ball.
Iman need his own show, TV, radio, Podcast whatever. He’s dope period. He can carry conversations. Much respect.
Respect. There was no holding back to his answers. Didn’t play favorite and friends but kept it a 💯 the whole way
He was most definitely talking about the new look Lakers and Westbrook when he said "they lose and start worrying about what clothes they wearing on the way to the game" 😂😂😭💀
Lol
He was talking about the fans and media worrying about what the players are wearing on the way to game.
I like how he did say how he feels about bron' s move to Miami and MJ being better even tho he's his friend he's being honest.
Bootleg Kev doing basketball podcast without knowing anything about basketball and NBA overall. Just following LeBron and twitter. It would be great to hear Iman in a conversation with someone thats into basketball and would pull information from him.
facts
Him complaining and implying that some of the all stars from back in the day were undeserving, using Terry Cummings as an example is deserving of an immediate slap in the face.
Something as simple as "why do you say that, shump?" would have given better insight to certain questions. Instead he gives off subject interjections changing the subject. Hee comes off like an amateur
Bro get Iman his own podcast. Man is so good at story telling
"I play defense for free"
I love Shump for that mentality. I hope you get back into the league sooner than later.
This man was smacked but still gave a solid interview
You can hear it in his voice
He gave a good ass interview high the interviewer just wasn’t that good he was agreein more instead of askin questions
@@johntookyobish6757 I agree, he tried to relate too much. Also talked over Iman way too much.
Fr lmao noticed it when he was asked about the Cavs 14-15 season.
Big facts lol
Wish this man never got hurt the first time. He would have been a legend in New York for his play style. Always loved shump and that team
1:47:12 mike vs lebron. You’re welcome
JR Denver was 🐐. Really was one of the first ones to be shooting deep 3s, doing video game dunks along time ago. He a Legend!
This interview is so legendary! Iman is that guy. Thanks for giving your insight and perspective. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:17:00 This is interesting to hear because it's so true. This dates way back to Thugger's start! When he hit the mainstream scene with "Stoner." Aside from the hook, the end of his 2nd verse is the most memorable part of the song due to the cadence and pitch switch. Thug's really a legend. 💯
Da Legend Gowie
Bruh stop
🌹🌹🖤
Stop it young thug weak ass music he’s ass he changed the game for lil nas x to walk in and deem our youth and give alphabet people lead away especially those t
Country niggaz
iman really breaks down the game and doesnt let them diss any player... respect
makes sense why amare couldnt get boards lmaoo
LET THE MAN TALK KEV BRUH DAMNN! Smfh…
"We"!!! That's how you're supposed to be when you're a Bulls fan. If you came up during the Jordan era, "It's WE!"lol. Loved Shump for that.
I could watch Iman talk all day. You can just feel the real, I love it!
Bro drop so many gems I'm surprised this shit ain't super edited
Skip can’t wait to talk about this shit in the morning 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
this a good interview, shoutout shump for the work he put in for them cavs
Sorry to double comment but I never watch interviews from beginning to end that are this long. Except this one. Loved it.
ua-cam.com/video/hgVHMFhydtQ/v-deo.html💪🆕
Let my man finish his thoughts 😫😅
Shump nailed it at 13:39 ...the league is so out of wack. This highlights what the Lakers has been doing the past few seasons. Switching rosters and literally expect contrasting talents to have chemistry right on the spot. It just looks silly
Iman high as a kite with no strings attached, lol!!! Dope ass interview!!!
Vbv
Shump was so athletic and raw when he got drafted. Injuries definitely slowed him down. He was locking up Wade in 2012 playoffs
When did Shump ever go against D Wade in the playoffs? The heatles never saw NY in the playoffs 😪
@@kennyfrancis3192 they literally played in the first round of 2012 heat won 4-1
I think there's room in the league for teams to win with different styles. Teams have to be smart enough to build rosters around their superstars.
I never said this about a basketball player but Iman sounds smarts as fuck. This dude sharp.
He’s was a NBA hooper, he should know the game like the back of his hand
@@Kedp_ it's the ageless replies that I enjoyed about his role and place in the league and about other role players
Good interview, but he cut him off way too much. Let him finish the story.
iman doesn’t have the feeling of a “celebrity”. He has a more intense energy. But it’s not intimidating it’s welcoming like a family member. My guy really is good at talking
Iman is so dope 💯
One of the Best story tellers
Iman is one of my favorite players. I'm glad he won a ring.
This was amazing. As an NBA fan for years, it’s fascinating to hear these stories from an actual player and almost no filter on.
99p
Iman def has that "IT" THING THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT!!!
The story about Klay was epic! Love that take and Klay...really dgaf frfr 😂 #silentassassin
Lol. Man I like Bootleg Kev. That nigga say u can't stop the rain with no Shaq bars. This convo was real. I love it. Im subscribing fa sho. Chi town Westside Holy City Stand-up.
I can hear Iman talk basketball all day long
I liked the Buddy Hield comments. Wished you could have asked more about his time in Sacramento, from afar it looked like he had a great influence on that team and then he inexplicably got traded to Houston. Great interview.
100% just became a post NBA Iman Shumpert fan !
I love iman so much this man speaks with his chest and keeps it a whole buck lmao.
Loved this interview. They took me down memory lane with them custom mixes cds lol. Man miss them days
Horace Grant passed John Paxson the ball on that last shot in Phoenix. Mike got trapped in the backcourt and had to give the ball up.
Exactly, Mike took that shot 10x more than he passed it to paxon or Kerr. Dude seem older but don't know what he talking about. He sound like a typical fan(atic)
DAMN!!!!! Iman said “You tell me who lost… 👀 “ FACTOS
Shht was cold but real , kev was bugging out
Shump a Chicago legend
I can legit watch him
Talk 😂😭all day iman really speak facts 🤙🏾
I miss shump with my kings bro. He was such a culture changer.
Shump interviews are underrated fasho
For sure
i dead ass tune in on his interviews because he dont hold back unless its really really personal
I would have subbed because this a really good interview, but man you can't be on that "I hate the warriors they should have never won, and if they didn't go and get KD they would have never won". Even Iman shied away from agreeing with that. As a Kobe-era Lakers fan, I watched this team in 2012-14. I understood that this team wasn't far from being great. Klay was lights out, going to shoot it and score. Curry was this silent monster whose shot was so perfect (you wanted it to miss but it kept going in). If Kobe didn't shoot those last 2 shots on his torn achilles in 2013, Curry would have been the highlight of that game with 9-3pts on 60% 47 points.
Steve Kerr is what made the Warriors a champion not KD. They needed his experience as a player and a coach to help them become the monster they became. He used all of that knowledge from Popp, Phil, Alvin Gentry, and Mike D'antoni to help the shooters on the team, which opened up the inside game. You can't sit here and deny Steve Kerr is props.... no disrespect to Mark Jackson, but Kerr's impact on the team was greater than KD alone
Hands down my favorite player to hear speak on the game now a days he is just to Raw S/O Iman Shumpert
Love how real he was about the whole Warriors/Cavs rivalry we could all tell both teams hated each other at the time 😂
Shump! Wise man. Good convo thank you 🙏🏽
When he started laughing at him for the Amar'e rebound thing I was dying hahahahaha
I love how Iman checked him on the Bulls talk. Dude was making typical Twitter fan boy arguments to Iman Shumpert. An NBA PLAYER lol.
great interview I feel like he cut Iman off a lil too frequently but it was still good to hear Iman's stories.
Agreed. He interjected a little too much. Let your guest talk, that’s why he is here.
A little? lol
Pissed me off.
Pissed me off.
Interviewer seems to like the sound of his own voice
He need his own podcast I watch his 85southshow interview everyday
Jr is one of the most underrated player to play this game…right next to jamal Crawford n iman
30:10 I really wanted to hear Schump expound that point about the nature of the new style of play versus the "blended" old style.... Luv you Kev, but i thought that was a particularly bad place to interrupt his sentence and flow of thought.
Shump keep it a band every time.
Pause that Imanii the beginning convo was crazy lol
37:20 "and he went with the roller" EPIC!!!!!
Iman shumpert interviews are 10/10. Needs to make more content
Shump my nigga after talkin about defense!!! Major respect….and damn mane let Iman talk his shit for u throw ya 2 cents in…. And that song not bad Bruh chill
Y’all remember when iman & JR was on good morning America high asf 😭😭
Just followed bootleg I’m glad you said you can’t stand the warriors cuz I could smell the hate on you. “What if game” you know the facts!
he a hater
Good Interview I would really want to watch that Iman & JR podcast.💯
He tried to shit on IT I’m glad Shump checked him on it.
Warriors = 90's Bulls of now just not the same amount of rings, but they both changed the league in a sense. Both get great love or great hate.
Literally can watch any Shump interview over and over 🤣🤣🤣nigga funny fr!!
Iman Kobe story is epic. Lol
Numbers don’t lie the ppl love shump
Idk why this Kev dude is trying to argue with a 10 year vet about whether or not Ben Simmons needs to shoot threes.
The analogy Iman made about Draymond not playing Game 6 in the Finals was PRICELESS! 🤯🔥 Draymond is such an important player, it’s not even funny
He played 6 and 7,it was game 5
@@erictolbert5769 Changed the whole momentum of the series
Man I loved this 🎄 morning iman please start a podcast homie much love wild 💯💯💯s #23 goat
ua-cam.com/video/hgVHMFhydtQ/v-deo.html🔥💪
Would love to see him in Chicago even if he doesn’t get much pt
IMAN A GOOD ASS SPEAKER ✊🏽💯
Shump leaves out that in the 2016 series Curry was rushed back in less than 2 weeks from a Grade 2 MCL sprain, by the time he was in the Finals he couldn't defend and he could barely get separation, that's why he was calling for help. The Warriors made a mistake rushing him back, they could have beaten Portland without him and given Curry an extra week and a half.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@9thirtyyg573 What’s funny? Do you have something to refute what you’re laughing at?
@@cycleoflife565 at that point in the year no one is 100 %
@@Supreme36074 How does that dispute the fact that his mobility was compromised? Was Kyrie’s similarly compromised?
@@cycleoflife565 you’re using that as an excuse, if you’re on the floor you’re healthy, any NBA player knows this..
One of my favorite basketball players who rep the orange and blue
52:21 Buddy has to relax and let the people tell their stories. Through the whole pod there were interruptions. I wanna hear the takes and first hand experience iman had not what you think it is. Seen a few shorts and came to your page but watching the whole pod was hard
Iman on all man-time, much love from D.C. gotta respect him!
Shump❗️ is the best storyteller in the NBA🔥
My guy Shump a GOAT
ESPN just mention bootlegs podcast. Love to see an AZ native making it big
Shump is such a cool dude fr great speaker and shows respect where it's due
1:17:26 On everything I love Droppin Jewels is one of the greatest works of art ever made.
Imans a real one!
I love the way shump has respect for other players ,he wasn’t going for anything attempted disrespect dude was going for😂
Confession: That part around 36:20 ish when Shump is talking about how Steph was scared to guard Kyrie....i love that sh*t. I know, it's no secret that Kyrie burned Steph a lot, but just hearing it said out loud by a player....man, i listened to that part about 20 times. Just makes me feel good.
[And the truth is, i do really like Steph, i just like hating him on the court because of the style and shift in the game that he represents.]
Literally LOVED that part because nobody ever wants to admit it because Steph is the Golden boy of the NBA but curry really wanted NO parts of Ky ever !!
@@FragologistDre i dont think anybody denies it, it just goes both ways, Kyrie doesnt want to guard curry either
@@crazyllama2073 Ky has never run from that defensive assignment. I have footage of Ky actually playing good defense on Steph. Steph on the other hand literally runs from that assignment. Ky would never respectfully
Seriously. Cant believe this doesnt have more views. That was awesome to watch
@@FragologistDreDid any of you ever think that the coaching staff preferred that Klay defend Kyrie because of his length and so as to not exhaust their primary scoring option in the defensive end? Plus Klay is the better one on one defender of the two. Kyrie can afford to expend energy chasing and defending Steph since he has Bron to fall back on the other end in terms of scoring and facilitating. Additionally how many of rhe league’s points can successfully defend one another one-on-one? As Iman said after awhile it became a pride thing and Curry went against the team’s defensive strategy regarding Kyrie and took on the responsibility. Strange that folks want to talk about how great Kyrie is but when it comes to Steph defending him, they talk as if he should be ashamed for getting scored upon by him. The NBA’s elite point guard light one another up on a regular basis.
