Iman “Dumpert” Shumpert doesn’t exactly fit into the Kings’ long term plans, given that he’s a.) too old (28) and b.) under contract for just this season. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got traded at the deadline, just because overpaid players on the last years of their deals tend to get traded…

Iman Shumpert 23 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2018)
Unlike many previous instances where a player goes absolutely nuts scoring-wise in the first half of a game, your old pal DTB did not even get hyped a little bit for the prospect of Iman Shumpert scoring forty. That’s because I knew he wasn’t going to do it. There have been many occasions where I…

Iman Shumpert has already matched his “2017-18 DTB Videos” total from last year with this unexpected performance. “Unexpected” is probably putting it lightly, at least for me; I really thought we’d seen the last of him doing anything of note in the NBA. He played one game in the 2018 part of last season. Just…

“Dear Diary, Today I showed coach Lue that I should be the starter and not that idiot J.R. or old-ass D-Wade. With those two scrubs on the court they let the Magic destroy them, and the Magic aren’t even a good team. If I had been out there and the beginning I would have played…

It seems like it’s been awhile since I heard anything about Iman Shumpert, even though he’s a starter on a championship contender. Getting rid of his flattop must have really cost him some visibility in the NBA world. It’s a well-known fact that people care about players with unique (and noticeable) hairstyles more than their…

Iman Shumpert has seemingly rediscovered the long-range shooting touch that made him such an intriguing player in his second season; he’s now shooting 40% from three, and while he’s no longer young or intriguing, he at least can be a competent low-volume guy to complement the Cavs’ big three (LeBron, Kyrie, and James Jones). They…

Am I a bad NBA fan for not having listened to any of Iman Shumpert’s rap output? I mean, I listened to “What the Kidd Did”, penned by Jason Kidd, and it was, you know, not really all that good, even by my relatively undemanding standards of rap as a genre. Not blaming Kidd here,…

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…

Iman Shumpert sure chose a good time to start being a good offensive player, right as the rest of his team is imploding. Even the Zen Master himself cannot make JR Smith learn the triangle. The Knicks might be last in the league in BSPT (Bright Spots per Team, my new advanced stat for measuring…

Very little is going right for the Knicks this season. They are 2-5, have the slowest pace in the league, and Carmelo’s new nickname is “Slumpelo”. Calderon and Bargnani are both injured and euro. Amar’e still sees fire extinguishers in his sleep. The only bright spot, as far as I can tell, is that Iman…
