Iman Shumpert is an American basketball player who plays in 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 Shumpert’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 subsequent season.
