Iman Shumpert’s flattop is looking a little healthier than it was earlier in the season. Not as voluminous, but definitely sturdier. It used to resemble the Leaning Tower of Pisa, veering rakishly at an angle due to its own immensity. Or, alternatively, looking like someone took a Dumpert on his head. Now it’s a classy hairstyle, the mark of a man who knows how to party, yes, but also how to maintain a professional appearance when he needs to. Those patterns he carved into the side really pull the whole thing together, adding a whole new dimension of classiness.
Iman’s game is looking a little healthier as well. His time in New York had run out, with his former franchise no longer having a need for someone who could play basketball at a competent level. Cleveland is a better fit, since he doesn’t actually need to do anything besides defend. His scoring numbers are indeed down, but I don’t get the feeling that Cleveland fans are hating him nearly as much as Knicks fans were by the time he left. Must be a matter of expectations or something.
