Iman Shumpert Has Clear Message For Haters Who Think he Bad-Mouthed LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers brought a lot of great names to the roster because they wanted someone to take the lead. Post-Kobe Bryant Lakers struggled to make an impact and Jeanie Buss decided to bring the king of basketball in LA. Well, the kid from Akron earned an army of haters and Skip Bayless is one of them. Some people can’t cope with his success. Former NBA guard Iman Shumpert shocked the NBA world with his comments on LeBron James.

Shumpert appeared on the Bootleg Kev podcast and said LeBron “ruined” the NBA with The Decision. Yes, LeBron decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join the Miami Heat. People in Cleveland were really disappointed.

“It wasn’t K.D.,” Shumpert said. “It was Bron first going to Miami. Bron knows he ruined basketball. He thought he was making it better. Me personally, I loved the NBA for the loyalty that I thought was there. He basically knocked the fourth wall down.

“Great business move for sure. But when you think about it outside looking in, I got people tweeting me right now, they’re literally talking about owners and trade.”

Iman Shumpert actually complimented LeBron James

Shumpert took a shot at LeBron and the king’s fans weren’t too happy about it. Well, Shumpert tried to convince everyone that he his comment was actually a compliment.

These two have history together. They played on the same team and even won a ring in the 2015-2016 NBA season.

King James made what he thought was best for his career. He changed the game and switched teams just because he thought it was the best for him. He did return to Cleveland and the problem was sort of fixed.

Durant made similar moves. He was in and out of teams just because he couldn’t handle certain environments. He left the Golden State Warriors and even criticized his former team. The veteran is part of the Brooklyn Nets right now. The Nets were pretty close to winning a ring last season but it didn’t happen.

Both players will try to win a ring this season.
