Without a doubt the man had hella potential but just never evaluated his game to the next level IMPO. I Love The Man that he is off the court though & he is definitely one of My Fave People just in Life it’s self...
I thought he was going to be solid but not great. When you showed his injury it reminded me of Shaun Livingston he was going to be the next big guard can you do a stunted growth on him.
Iman was a lockdown defender, tenacious and agile. I suggest to watch his Knuckleheads interview with D Miles and Q Rich, Iman is a funny and interesting guy
Listen… he was a problem his rookie year.. I know what I was looking at. Before that injury he was destined to be at least 15 ppg just off energy and hustle
Iman Shumpert is the modern-day Daniel Gibson and Shannon Brown. What stunted these three guys' growth was getting caught up in the lifestyle of dating and marrying R&B celebrity females. They were not focused on their craft and not taking the game seriously and now they're all out of the league extremely early.
@@stuntedgrowth remember at one point they all wanted to be rappers as well. Shannon and Daniel what happened to them years later they all go divorced and lost there career's.
True especially Shannon brown he had all the tools to b a lot better than he ended up being I’d argued getting married while your a professional athlete is dumb more dudes need to take the Derek jeter approach just spend your career smashin then when you retire you can go and get married
that's not true he played behind Melo n lebron he never had his own team when he was on the kings he started balling out n became their leader until I think he got traded
It was good to see a guy that leaves it all on floor get a ring even if his body couldn't hold due to injuries,He had that dog in him that you speak on💯💪
Man great video. I love how you go in depth to show not that players are not always just trash. Do you think Gerald Wallace can get a stunted growth. Keep doing good work
I listened to him in a podcast and he basically resigned himself as a role player from the start and didn’t want to jump through the hoops necessary to get into that star situation he should’ve been in. He took everything in stride which makes him cool but also hurt his career.
I always liked his game. Yo on the real, Georgia tech is underrated in my opinion as far as putting out talent. More of a basketball factory than given credit for.
This was a good one. I remember watching the knicks in the early 2010s thinking they were gonna be so much better than they ended up being. This man too, sucks how it didn’t work out after the acl injury.
@@l.thomas1762 Iman Shumpert Net Worth and Salary: Iman Shumpert is an American professional basketball player who has a net worth of $30 million. Salary: $11 Million Net Worth: $30 Million IM sure he is doing great
Haven’t watched the video, yet, but as soon as I saw the thumbnail I was glad you made this video. This dude can ball. When he joined LeBron and couldn’t play his game, everyone clowned him (even more so, because he was seen more, being with LeBron). Thought he was going to be a good player when the Knicks drafted him. He came in as a defensive player, didn’t even recognize his offensive game (sort of like Jimmy Butler, who I knew since he was a Bull was a star and complete player).
Another striaght BEAST in 2k12. Playing private team up with the Knicks, if i got the SG position it was a wrap... Sub in JR Smith as soon as the ball was tipped otherwise someone else would try and steal him, but having Shumpert as the starter protected him coming off the bench.
Ahhh Mannn WE got a banger with this one y’all, So get y’all popcorn ready 🍿. Aye Brodie you’ve been dropping nothing but pure heat, Keep doing your thing My Guy much salute to you ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾. Try not to forget about My Guy Frank Mason when you get the chance he plays for the Bucks & he played for My Fave College Basketball Team Kansas because I feel like he’s growth is being Stunted... Anyway to anybody that’s watching this remember y’all, Keep Going & Be Safe 🤟🏾💯
I felt like he lacked ball handling and efficient shooting . Great defender n athlete , but never really developed a true offensive skill set can’t create his own shot or for others .
Iman Shumpert...had a dope and rocking hi top fade game when he was in the NBA...it was bs the league fined for his adidas haircut smh...had the potential to be a all star but injuries and consistency stunted his growth...although he’s not in the league now Iman Shumpert is doing his thing and grinding and shining...keep up the good work and salute and respect stunted growth.....
I listen to this guys interviews and tv shows all the time ,he seems pretty cool. At least he has a career in entertainment . One thing I remember is once he got to the cavs him and jr smith was a great fit and they won the championship. Once the cabs didn’t win he was shipped out
I loved seeing big explosive guards like Derrick Rose and Shumpert but it only is shock value. It hurts the athlete more in the long run. I loved watching shumpert play but man it all make sense now I had no idea he had so many injuries.
I really wish I could have seen him do more after the injury and then the championship is seen like he was less interested in basketball and more interested in family and the next phase of his life and is nothing wrong with that
God he was a nightmare defender in the ACC in 2010 wrecking havoc on my Blue Devils. GA Tech had Shumpert Aminu and Lawal and they were rugged and bodied the hell out of you.
I really thought him coming to houston was going to help bolster the second unit and sort of give him a fresh start. Of course D’Antoni didn’t utilize him though
I remember watching an interview of him where he was talking about how the league view dame's rap career better than they did when it was him and he was basically explaining how because dame came into the league in a situation where the team instantly built for him to develop, he had all the shots and etc he developed quicker and became a star so he gets away with it and I was thinking he was making excuses for himself but after watching this video I get it
Yeah those those Injuries & playing for the Knicks he didnt get a chance to play the point. they made him a defensive guy because of who he played with the rest of the league viewed him as just a defensive guy He still a NBA Champion at the end of the day. Salute to the West side's Own what up Joe!! ( Chi town lingo) For the record his music is a decent listen!!
Thanks for the video! I feel confident I.S. could play for a G-league team and try to work his way back. It'd be humbling but he could do it. Does anyone know if he's been offered a G-league deal?
Shumpert Rookie season He started.... He was given free reign... if anything it was Walt Frazier who spoke out on him talking 20 shots vs Memphis one game as a rookie and didn’t like it on air before Baron came back and Linsanity took over. That lockout shorten season he was playing 28mpg his highest. He started 35 games. Had he not tore his ACL he would held on to that 2 guard spot. He recovered from that injury cause he was getting up higher in 2012-2013. That alley off the backboard be the Nets he damn near head butted the rim. Problem was he couldn’t shoot. League was changing and that Knicks team was the prototype to the GS teams primary 3pt attack offense. That game Shumpert had against the Spurs with the game winning tip (27pts).. people thought he was on to something... Inconsistencies killed him. Not the Knicks on this one time
that wat i said, i never seen him as a future star, he had great d pause but everything else besides jumping you didnt know if you was go get it and he was never a pg lol
From everything I saw from him in college and rookie year, I saw a tall guard with an all-around skill set similar to Penny Hardaway. All-star caliber talent that just got devastated by the injuries. Honestly reminds me of what happened to Greg Oden, except Shump was able to bounce back a bit more
Mavs didn't do DSJ dirty AAU basketball did DSJ dirty. His AAU coaches never taught him how to be a PG and were satisfied with him being able to jump higher than everyone else.
I’d say his first injury was a curse and a blessing considering it gave him space to be with his now wife and mother towards his child. In the end though I do agree if put in a better situation from the start we’d see a different version of shumpert.
You have to do his brother, Preston Shumpert. I don't think anybody heard of his game, or the once kids from the documentary Preps: Chicago Hoops that followed Will Bynum, Sean Dockery, Luther Head, Eddy Curry, Kyle Kleckner, and Jason Straight.
I never saw him as a PG. I think he is a solid. Fringe starter, 6th man. Offensively, maybe because the offense sets never really developed. Injury really hindered him as well. Defensively he was very good..should still be in the L
Did anyone else think Iman was going to be a problem in the league? I sure did!
Without a doubt the man had hella potential but just never evaluated his game to the next level IMPO. I Love The Man that he is off the court though & he is definitely one of My Fave People just in Life it’s self...

Man he had me AMPED!!!!!
@@stuntedgrowth we need a Jamal Tinsley SG if u haven't done one already. Dude had game but it just didn't turn out to anything.
Him and Brandon Jennings had the cleanest Box fade
You ain't never lie fam.
Facts
For this era. Go back and look at the Flying Illini. Kendall Gill and Nick Anderson were full high top back in the dsy.
Put Marcus Liberty and Mark Macon on the list too.
Yo we might as well out the whole cast of hoop dreams lol 🤣 the early 90s was in full effect
Iman was a lockdown defender, tenacious and agile. I suggest to watch his Knuckleheads interview with D Miles and Q Rich, Iman is a funny and interesting guy
I feel like Shumpert had the potential to be an all-star if he didn’t get hurt his rookie year and got to play point guard more

But then they joined lebron lebron ruins star potential going to the lakers was proof
@@lennoxbelonie4981 They both got a ring because of being on the Cavs.

I didn’t even know my boy played PG whole time I thought he was SG
I Swear But Shoutout To Shump Tho..✌🏿✌🏿
He played mostly shooting guard and small foward.. his rookie year he played point guard.

Didn’t all 3 of those guys play with Lebron?
After that knee injury in his first year he was never the same
that's not true he played behind Melo n lebron he never had his own team when he was on the kings he started balling out n became their leader until I think he got traded

@@Zayrius-tori You have to prove you're good enough to have your own team in the nba
So true.
lol Wut? Dude went to 3 straight Finals and won a chip AFTER the injury.
Shump is one of my fav players! Thanks for making a vid on the homie!
It was good to see a guy that leaves it all on floor get a ring even if his body couldn't hold due to injuries,He had that dog in him that you speak on💯💪
I just found your channel man and I gotta say I wish I had found it earlier. Keep up the great vids
Man thank you for this NBA Channel!!
I feel like his growth was stunted but he did have a great impact
Man great video. I love how you go in depth to show not that players are not always just trash. Do you think Gerald Wallace can get a stunted growth. Keep doing good work
That's crazy you for this video. So much potential

I fr loved Iman when I was a teenager seeing him on the Knicks he was one of my favorite lowkey players dude was good
My dad and I are both knicks fans and we both always loved the dude. Wish he could’ve been mote
As always great content. Have you thought of or featured Lance Stephenson? Kind of similar player.
Thanks. I did Lance.
@@stuntedgrowth can't wait to see it. Honestly your videos have been a highlight of the pandemic. So well produced and entertaining but substantive
@@stuntedgrowth yeah just saw the Lance video it was awesome
I got two other suggestions that are compelling and I see you haven't done them. Would you kindly consider Felipe Lopez and Kerry Kittles?
Third suggestion Joe Forte from UNC 2 Seasons in the pros very underwhelming
I always liked his game. Yo on the real, Georgia tech is underrated in my opinion as far as putting out talent. More of a basketball factory than given credit for.
Yeah Chris Bosh, Kenny Anderson, mark price, Dennis Scott, Derrick favors, jarret jack,, Anthony morrow ect...ones I can think of off the top

Now this is a real stunt growth, he had star potentially NY but sadly it was wasted by injuries
This was a good one. I remember watching the knicks in the early 2010s thinking they were gonna be so much better than they ended up being. This man too, sucks how it didn’t work out after the acl injury.
Because they gave Melo to much burn . If shump and Smith got more burn they would have been better .
Great video.
Ayyyeee another banger!!! 40k subs OTW Keep grinding bro!!! #StuntedGrowth

Good video
Great job on this video👍
Yooo I know this about to be a good one
Come back to after a full watch and it was lol
But after his injury in his rookie year, it never healed properly. He was playing on it on all them years after that
Had the same injury as Derrick Rose in the same year in the playoffs 2012 but came back way sooner
Man you should do a stunted growth on Tony Rutland, he played with Iverson in high school and Tim Duncan at Wake Forest

Great video! can you do one on Walter Berry?
Shump was a great fit for Cleveland. He was exactly the type of player they needed and it got him a ring. Best case scenario after injuries
Eye opening video for me. Never saw Shump as a point guard. Imagine if him and Butler had switched places on the draft.
Another striaght BEAST in 2k12. Playing private team up with the Knicks, if i got the SG position it was a wrap... Sub in JR Smith as soon as the ball was tipped otherwise someone else would try and steal him, but having Shumpert as the starter protected him coming off the bench.
Pretty thorough review
Just thought to myself less than 48hrs ago after seeing a pic of Shump "Shump was nice just couldn't stay healthy. When he was there he could play"

I definitely dig these breakdowns
Always was a fan of game. Played D and had a solid offensive game.
Once his ACL went out after his rookie season he never developed a jump shot it was over from there
I felt like he lacked ball handling and efficient shooting . Great defender n athlete , but never really developed a true offensive skill set can’t create his own shot or for others .
its really hard develop this with lebron and carmelo with you
He lacked ball handling but was a pg a Georgia tech . Cmon bro.

Still waiting on my Desean Butler and Chris Allen Michigan State
Yes Desean Butler is a good one
Big injury in the final four or elite 8 right before the draft
I genuinely ask: what did we expect Shump to be?
At GTech I thought he'd be next in line of the big point guard era
From everything I saw from him in college and rookie year, I saw a tall guard with an all-around skill set similar to Penny Hardaway. All-star caliber talent that just got devastated by the injuries. Honestly reminds me of what happened to Greg Oden, except Shump was able to bounce back a bit more
@@drgattz4555 He could’ve been a similar player to Tony Allen with slightly better shooting.
He don’t know bro, just thinking he deep….Winning a Ring and being a good piece on the Cavs was a over achievement for dude
Kriss Dunn type without a jumpshot I thought he’d develop into a baby Jimmy Butler injuries is what derailed him he just got slower and slower
Do a story on Ernie D, or Brad Sellers.
The Mavericks did dsj dirty.......... REAL DIRTY
Facts! Hated they drafted him. He never fit that culture
Yessir they did
Mavs didn't do DSJ dirty AAU basketball did DSJ dirty. His AAU coaches never taught him how to be a PG and were satisfied with him being able to jump higher than everyone else.
@@andrebryant5081 also a fair assessment, the highlight channels also ruined a lot of players careers
@@jay7949 Yep DSJ was told for years he was the best or one of the best PGs since middle school. With most of his highlights being dunks.

Who’s here after he got signed by the nets?
You have to do his brother, Preston Shumpert. I don't think anybody heard of his game, or the once kids from the documentary Preps: Chicago Hoops that followed Will Bynum, Sean Dockery, Luther Head, Eddy Curry, Kyle Kleckner, and Jason Straight.
Iman is 1 of my Favorites
When he was young I thought he was gonna be at least a borderline all star
He was the best on ball defender before injury. He could actually stay in front of a healthy D Rose
You should do one on Anthony Bennett or Darius Miles.
Can you do shabazz napier?
You're 💯 brother i always said he should've been with Utah New Orleans or Phoenix
I never saw him as a PG. I think he is a solid. Fringe starter, 6th man. Offensively, maybe because the offense sets never really developed. Injury really hindered him as well. Defensively he was very good..should still be in the L
Shump was excellent at what was expected from him which wasn't scoring
Once again it’s time to renew my call for videos about Pervis Ellison and Danny Manning
You can maybe send him your request on Facebook, Twitter or instagram in the description
He's from Oak Park, IL. I grew up there...
Like you said despite the tribulations he had a pretty good career and is doing good for himself.
Do a video on Daniel Gibson please
That thumbnail the reason for his stunted growth
Stunt #1 is corny cause Shump was perfect fit for that NY team and surrounding with talent
his 4 point play in game 7 was the momentum shift though. Don't act like this dude isn't part of ALOT of history
Knickstape year!! I still rock my shump jersey.
Crazy timing Nets just signed him🔥‼️💯
I have an suggestion, Jimmer Fredette.
He thinks the guy is trash he's mentioned him before
