Part 9: • Iman Shumpert: Carmelo...
Part 1: • Iman Shumpert: I Watch...
In this clip, Iman Shumpert started out by sharing a story about stepping to Carmelo his rookie year for not passing him the ball when he was open during a game. Iman explained that things got heated, but Carmelo explained to Iman that he worked on instances that were presented in the game, which Iman said he respected. He went on to detail going to Cleveland and playing with LeBron, who Iman says has a huge basketball IQ, and feeling like he was a girl in between two friends. While speaking about LeBron's high basketball IG, Iman says LeBron knows all of his teams plays along with the opponents. Iman added that it's "crazy" how LeBron can get his whole team on the same page, which you can hear more about above. 
Entertainment
That was probably the most in depth explanation of what it’s like playing with LeBron & his IQ I’ve ever seen so far. That was impressive Shump ✊🏽
kingtise agree!
Facts...i know exactly what play hes talking about with that baseline behind the back cross court pass🤯🤯
Blew my fuckin mind bro 🤯
Preston Wingate Interviewer did a great job letting him talk too. Think even he was surprised by how in depth he went. There’s a million questions he could’ve asked had he expected Shump to do that
Best story teller of how things happen on the court...!
Damn I felt like I was in court with Lebron there. Shump is a good story teller.
On God he is
Lmfao that’s a fact 😂 I was about to open my hands like “I’m ready to catch and shoot”
Ant C 😭😭😭😭😭
That’s that Chicago in him! 😂
Regardless of his finals record, there's a reason he's been there 9 times in 16 years. That is legendary in itself.
Maine championships are a team accomplishment, people don’t seem to understand that.
Thank you...now how many times have k.d n khawi been there n also conference finals count them up
mimicduzit they play in the west tho... Do you really think lebron in the west gets to the finals that many times? It’s a lot harder for KD and kawhi to get to the finals. The first season Kawhi is in the east he wins the championship
ZBT nigga stop it. Kawhi had Gasol, Lowry, Ibaka, Green, and Siakam. Plus they were the number one seed for the past three years before that lol
Nigga do you understand how many hall of fame players he played with
People really don’t realize how special LeBron really is. He’s a different level of talent; one that’s never been seen before. It’s crazy.
Indeed
Yep never will
We'll appreciate LeBron more when he retires after we did it with kobe
I really hope so.He is one of the best that i have ever seen play the game.I appreciate him now.The man is legendary 👍
I doubt he ruined the league kobe was loyal and never chase rings like him
@thekiddsean330 Kobe was hated!!!!!! Say whatever u want but that was facts!!!! It wasn't till towards the end he got love. That's what I was refering too.
Kobe wasn't appreciated until he passed away...the media n social media included eliminated him from the goat conversation up until his demise...he was hated when he played n ignored when he retired...but people forget...the convo was Kobe vs Jordan on ESPN b4 ESPN became the LeBron apologist station...lol
6'9" 270, runs like a gazelle and all anyone talks about is his brain 🤲🏾
That's crazy
Bell Shows he 250 now he used to be 270 when he first came back
He a complete freak!
He’s 6’7 for 1, he only weighs 250
Lebron stories from other players gon be crazy when he retires
frl
Right.
Facts
Hell yeah
facts
This almost as good as when Andre Berto broke down his fight with Mayweather. The respect and how specific they get when describing the GOATS in the moment. Appreciate it 💯 times more when you're actually there and witness it.
I was literally thinking about that as I watched this interview. I go back and watch that Berto interview from time to time cause of how insightful and detailed he got when describing fighting Floyd. I’ll probably do that same with this interview
Its better
Floyd = GOAT, LOLOLOLOLOLO. Silly.
@beefbwpd na bruh.
What is LeBron known for globally across the world? Being a 6'9 physical freak of nature. What is he known for among real hoops fans? Being a savant, unreal basketball IQ was part of why he was a child prodigy
Clutch7 chris paul
Clutch7 CP3?
Clutch7 they're agreeing with your OP description, lol. Chris Paul is one of the handful of players LeBron respects as a vision like his own: CP3, Magic, Rondo, J-Kidd, Russ, etc.
LeBron got a PHD in Basketball IQ. 😂
YvngGoat I used to hate him so much in Miami but I become a fan once he went back home because he didn’t have to do that . Then proceeds to make 4 more finals like cmon bro . That’s crazy . KD probably hated him for that OKC finals and wanted to return the favor .
I've always said LeBron is the smartest basketball player I ever witness
Facts
IQ is crazy
Sosa Laflare add Stockton And Kidd to that list
This interview, along with the passion we all know he has for the game, brings me joy knowing that LeBron will probably decide to coach after he retires.
Much respect to Shump for going in depth and bringing us on the court, great story
This is some amazing knowledge Shumpert is is giving out, especially about Bron. Lebron is a wizard and a scientist when it comes to his basketball IQ
Reason why he lost 6 times in the finals....they were amazed at his game knowledge and it put them in a fans position on the court which lead them to not understand how to involve themselves in the game with a player's magnitude such as his....lebron is every goat in one....true facts...lol..
I’m not a huge NBA fan, but I’m learning, and to see Shump talk about LeBron with such high regard makes me smile. Build up your broski, don’t tear him down. ✊🏽
man,shump had me rewatch this 5 times, his story telling ability had me locked in, and for the first 3 i actually thought I was in Cleveland catching passes from lebron and setting screens and cutting. # we gon miss bron when it's GONE.
I watched LeBron play the Indiana Pacers in a regular season game in Miami, I was in the nose bleeds. During the game he caught the ball that was going out of bounds with one hand balancing on one foot and from that same position threw a bullet pass thru the key for an easy layup from the three point line.
Shumpert really been impressing me with his explanations whether it Be what (JR) did in the finals or Kobe and now this he’s really a highly intelligent person...
David Walters yeah he went to my high school OPRF one of the best high schools in Chicago. He competed in poetry all 4 years there and obviously he’s a rapper today so yeah he’s a great story teller. Great with words. One of the smartest dudes I’ve met
So basically LeBron is the Professer X of the NBA
Yep cuz even if he was in a wheel chair in the court he still be destroying ppl
Kobe might be the better 1 on 1 player but Lebron is the best 1 vs 5 player in league history
umar b , why you got to bring up Kobe ? You can’t give LeBron his props with out bringing up another nigga ?
@Dragon Jay Z lies
Travis G he is Professor X in Juggernauts body🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ thats not even fair
Stories like this will happen more often once Lebron is done playing!!!
Amazing stories
This one of the best Lebron stories I’ve heard
It’s G Herbo nigga welcome to the Jugghouse
TBouttaBag 😭😭😭
TBouttaBag yeaaa🔥
That story also from former Cavs GM David Griffin about Lebron telling Patrick Patterson on what to do because he don't know the play
Love the way he explained Lebron 🤣🤣🤣
Great in-depth conversation, Iman. Out of all the qualities James has, it's his mind and basketball IQ that's his greatest asset!
Dudes really disrespected Lebron his whole career, won’t ever be another career like it. Always had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Right
He's one of the few chosen ones who actually surprassed their expectations
Just him spanking warriors by himself should.be enough he beat the greatest regular season team in nba history basically alone smh he is thy goat
ZenGod Splash he beat Warriors by himself?
This was hands down one of, if not, THE best explanations of LeBron All Time Great level IQ
Can’t wait for Iman to have a show. He’s a great story teller!
People don’t realize how sharp of a mind LeBron is. If he went to college whatever team he was on would have won a national title.
Clutch7 who has?
Clutch7 MJ never did it alone either
They even say he maintained a 3.5 in HS
Clutch7 name 5 championship team without 2-3 all stars
Getting to the finals 8th straight years shows you his love for the game and how locked in he be
Ppl say that like its easy.
somebody: "he threw a no-look!"
shumpert: "nawl, he looked"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
#legendary
transparent44 😂😂😂😂
@gussi123 transparent44 as in "show light through synchronicity"
#whatamImissing #Idontget😕
Facts! lmao
I felt that.
This is the respect I got for Lebron! Nobody can say anything. Shump just dropped some scary inside knowledge
After he retire, he's gonna be the most expensive head coach of all time.
Damnnn
i dont think he will coach
Ace de Pica yeah he will be Lakers or Cavaliers GM
@Robert Downey Jr He's gonna be an owner, dude's already almost a billionaire
@PmK96 he doesn't need to be billionaire. which owner would want to piss of lebron james? Yea none of them. he gon get them teams cheap
Shum ability to tell stories , the details and his humor is amazing 😂😂
I can listen to him all day. What story teller.
When shump said "Yes Sir!!" I died laughing 😭😭
I could listen to Shump tell basketball stories for days 😂
Instead of working on his defense and passing, Melo was busy practicing taking Jump shots while double teammed.😂😂😂😂
NÈG LAKAY facts 😂
NÈG LAKAY kobe had to teach him that
Clutch7 apparently a lot of people practice defense kawhi leonard lebron Michael jordan kobe bryant just to name a few
Clutch7 so you must have never been in a basketball team
Clutch7 they do
LEBRON’S WHOLE CAREER WILL BE AN EPIC DOCUMENTARY
Man explained it how i thought he would. LB is a king in ball. May not be the greatest in every time era but hes def a legend in this one. Well deserved words and great interview 💯
Why does Shump not have a Podcast already? Every time he tells a story, he makes you feel as though you are there
This man is amazing at breaking down stories! I love it. He needs to be a storyteller when he retires or dagone market in storytelling lol
Bruh he tells the best on court stories👌🏼 makes you feel like you there with him watching everything happen 😂🤣
Bro, this was one of the most enjoyable 8 minute Vlad segments ever. Watered my soul.
When Lebron retires, the stories players tell are going to be otherworldly.
Exactly just like with Michael and Kobe.
That Melo story was real af. Absorbing everything that comes your way. Testament to being a good player.
I could listen to Shump tell basketball stories all day long.
Wish every LeBron hater could see this… Speaks volumes on how great he truly is…
This story of how bron sees the game gives me chills!
That's why he's in the conversation with the greatest. Great explanation Shump.
LeBron is a rare bred!! One of a kind!! Will never be another!! Kudos King!!
Big Balls Still de King!! Will never be a better basketball player even with 3-6 record in the Finals. Lebron faced better competition and by far, better players.
This story is so good. It actually brings me to tears.
I love this dude his a good story teller and he gives props where they do... that's a king right there
You can easily tell Lebron has high basketball intelligence by dominating the league long time he knows what he needs to be doing to improve his teammates like himself he always takes the advantages of his physical physique combining it with his deeper view for the game dude is scary fr he doesn't have all the talent and skills but he's able to gather talents for himself, orchestrated not just his team but the teams front office man that dude is beyond everybody else.
shump is a good story teller man, i felt like i was in the court envisioning his story. props my guy!
I love how LeBron was always a team player he always knows what’s best for team
Lebron will never get the respect he deserves
Hes really only starting to get his respect recently, but if he keeps balling and winning, itll get louder and louder. Over the years, more and more people have come out and have called him the GOAT and i believe that'll continue
@Deandre Ray Isiah Thomas
Deandre Ray I’m 26 and he at least number two dawg
The one thing I love about LeBron James he always make the right play winning or losing a basketball game but always make the right play
No idea why Shump isn’t on a roster. He’s a nice rotation piece and a great locker room guy from what I’ve heard
That is why any team Lebron plays he has such a omnipresent impact because he see’s everything. He is kind of like Goku mastering ultra instinct. Sometimes LeBron does stuff that unless you really understand basketball you’ll never understand what was so special about that. I cant remember the last time Lebron played against a team that was just as good as his and his team lost... other than the games where Lebron just didn’t really care
He's Always going to be the " GOAT" not just for his on the court play as well as his Greatness he gave to his fellow teammates...
Really wish we had footage of these exact plays he's describing
The way he was explaining that pass to Kevin love had me dying. It was so fluent.
"Threw it like a bowling bowl behind his back" 😂
This guy is a God of story telling.
I think my respect for LeBron just went up by a hundred after this. Everyone talks about Kobe being an obsessive student of the game, turns out LeBron is the same, but in his own way.
Shumpert is a damn good story teller! He should have his own show frfr!
Can we have Shump start narrating more. Very intriguing how he explains things.
Dont be mad next time, cause you not getting it next time😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Edgard Benjamin Cruz that makes sense to me 😂
Lmfaoo
😂 that's real sht
That shit hilarious 😂💀
I love when Shump tells stories
Shump has great stories, I hope he continues to tell them.
Shump might be the best nba story teller I’ve ever listened to, captivating
4:17 “The Setup”
4:44 “Basketball IQ”
5:43 “Yes sir…..bro” - Quote of the Decade
6:08 Crazy perspective on playing pickup wit Bron
7:00 “Perfect Play”
The casual fans will never understand nor appreciate the depth of Lebron's game.
Lebron's IQ is higher than all his haters combined. That's a fact.
True
Lol
Fans too
Big facts
@Richard Walton i think chris paul got em beat
Iman has a unique NBA career he played with a lot great teams and players
one of the best storytellers of all time
Lebron will always make the best play. He is a chess master making the best choice thinking way ahead of other players. This is something special and teammates know it.
It's gon take Lebron dying early to truly get the respect he done earned. People only love you when you die even though they've been diminishing everything while you alive
Shumpert explain Le Bron actions accurately. Bron's scary, No one can read the game like he does. The GOAT and MVP
Iman is the GOAT at Story Telling, he's Kobe story too is so immerse.
He tells some of the best stories.
Shump has the beat stories. Terrific storyteller. 📖
😂😂You can listen to this man all day
Melo is easily one of the greatest SCORERS in NBA history. Loved watching him in Denver.
Shump is way more articulate than I realized he is. Wow great story telling skills
Wow!!!! Loved hearing that. That's what u call a professional. It's not all about how high you can jump or if u can shoot
I could hear Shump tell stories all day
Best story teller in sports 🐐
I like Shumpert. He's a good storyteller too. 👌👌
Shumps storytelling is incredible, it's so visual.
He is hilarious describing Melo😂😂😂
Best Bron story I heard from anybody in the league. Good to see the REAL appreciate him
Shump is a prime storyteller
This is what makes him great! He works on his craft!
You don’t have to be a die hard bron fan but if you’re a true fan of the game you gotta appropriate it. We’re all witnessing greatness don’t take it for granted enjoy it while we can
Amazing story, I could see Lebron as a great coach one day.
