Iman Shumpert
Iman Asante Shumpert (/iˈmɑːn/ ee-MAHN; born June 26, 1990) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and was selected by the New York Knicks with the 17th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft. Shumpert was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2015 and won an NBA championship with them in 2016. He also had stints with the Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, and Brooklyn Nets.
Shumpert won season 30 of Dancing with the Stars with professional dancer Daniella Karagach in 2021, making him the first NBA player to win the finale.
Shumpert was born in Berwyn, Illinois. In the eighth grade, he and fellow NBA player Evan Turner were teammates on the same basketball team at Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School in Oak Park, Illinois. Shumpert went on to attend Oak Park and River Forest High School, where he was a first team all-state player and was one of the nation's top 30 seniors. Shumpert helped Oak Park and River Forest to three conference titles and was named conference MVP as a junior and senior. He was rated No. 15 among the nation's senior players by Scout.com and No. 26 by Rivals.com. Shumpert was also selected to play in the 2008 McDonald's All-American Game and was named a third-team Parade All-American.
As a freshman for Georgia Tech in 2008–09, Shumpert was the team's fourth-leading scorer for the season, averaging 10.5 points per game and hitting 34.5 percent of his three-point attempts.
During the 2009–10 season, Shumpert underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a damaged meniscus in his right knee on December 3 and missed six games. Shumpert went on to finish the season as the team's third-leading scorer with 10.0 points per game.
In the 2010–11 season, Shumpert led his team in scoring (17.3 ppg), rebounding, and assists, becoming only the seventh player in ACC history to do so. He ranked fourth in the ACC in scoring, 15th in rebounds, 10th in field goal and free throw percentage, and first in steals (seventh in the nation). Shumpert was named to the All-ACC second team and was a member of the conference's all-defensive team. He also holds the Georgia Tech record for steals per game.
On March 28, 2011, Shumpert declared for the NBA draft, foregoing his final year of college eligibility.
Shumpert was drafted with the 17th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the New York Knicks. In February 2012, then-teammate Jared Jeffries said that "he's about as good an on-ball defender as there is in the league right now". Shumpert was selected to compete in the 2012 NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest but was unable to participate due to a knee injury.
