Iman Shumpert Explains Why LeBron James Gets So Much Hate

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has earned himself a lot of fans throughout his lucrative career. But, King James also has an army of haters who doubt every move he makes. Iman Shumpert helped LeBron win a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. He is well aware of the criticism LeBron has seen. That was the most recent topic Iman talked about. He talked about it during an interview with This is 50.

According to Iman, people hate LeBron because he does everything really well. He doesn’t have any marks on his resume.

“Because he does it really well, and he ain’t got no marks on his résumé,” said Shumpert in an interview with This is 50 that surfaced online on March 24. “People just want him to look more like a person, I think. They just want to mark him up a little bit, ’cause he trying so hard to do all the right things.”

Iman Shumpert praised LeBron

Iman was pretty honest in his interview. He said LeBron has “irked” him in the past. But, he soon realized that King James is nothing like other NBA players. He collaborates with a lot of brands and people.

“To know all of this, his whole career and not really make a terrible step, that’s incredible, and still be playing at this level, that’s incredible,” Shumpert explained. “Still be with that same girl since high school. They really holding each other down, it’s incredible. All this stuff is really, really hard, and he does it without glory for it. He doesn’t want a cookie for it.”

Iman praised LeBron and his parenting. He is a proud father of three kids. People shared their thoughts on this interview right after Iman finished it.

“Finally, someone that played with LeBron (besides D-Wade) that truly knows and respects what he brings to the damn table whether from a basketball or business standpoint!” a user wrote on Twitter

“The fact that he never been caught wit another chick, he’s a really good father and friend, that’s all I need to know bout LBJ as a person,” another added. “What he does on the court is another level. We need more of this right now. “

“No outside kids, no domestic violence, no criminal history, no sexual assault allegations, no gambling habits, no adultery, no tax evasion, etc, etc,” a fan wrote. “But idiots always trying to demean this proud black man smh.”
