For years, Iman Shumpert has been best known for his basketball skills.
During an appearance onGood Morning America, Shumpert reflected on his historic win.
Speaking toTMZ, he said, “Trying to see what we can get done.
I never stopped playing …
It’s not an ‘ex’ thing.
Me and the league didn’t break up.”
Still, Shumpert’s not going to wait around at home for the call.
It’s cool now, but it was not cool then.
Because my family and friends were so loud …
I didn’t even know I got booed."
He added, “I thought New York went crazy how my family went crazy.
When I found out the next day that they booed, it hurt, but it drove me.
It was fuel.”
“I wasn’t highly touted like everybody else.
I probably would have went higher in the draft, but they stopped working out with me.
Nobody would take my workouts anymore.
