Iman Shumpert learned a lot from his time with LeBron James

According to Shumpert, LeBron confronts teammates whenever they fail to get the job done. King James is the ultimate leader and he is always here to help his teammates become better players.

“We was playing with Cleveland and boy, Bron a– in the middle of, it was at the end,” said Shumpert. “Shorty (James) grabbed the ball at the top of the key to calm us down. I don’t remember if I was not headed over there or what, but he said, ‘Shump, corner, now!’ Shorty, I looked around. I looked at T. Lue, everybody looking with the eyes like, ‘Hurry up. You gonna do it?’

“Look, Cleveland is quiet as hell, and I’m like, ‘Bro, if I react, I’m the most selfish person on the earth.’ I’m like, I don’t know if he realize how he just said this bro, but I don’t like being talked to like that. I don’t like that. But he said it with so much command. If he wasn’t talking to me, I’d have been proud of him like, ‘Yeah man, you took control.’

“But he was talking to me so I wasn’t rolling. Bron, I ended up going to the corner for you, but I did drag my feet, and I apologize for that, you know what I’m saying, ’cause it was like, as a man, I really didn’t know how to deal with that, bro, like I don’t know, you know what I’m saying. Your voice ain’t have to get that deep to tell me to go to the corner.

“… It was your stature at the moment. I didn’t appreciate the stature, but afterwards … I approached the man in the shower to tell him, ‘Bro, come on man. I’ma run through a wall for you, dog.’”

Quite an experience, right?

LeBron is entering another great season

LeBron is the best player to ever play the game. The Los Angeles Lakers signed him for a reason. He led the team to a title and he is expected to deliver another MVP performance in 2022-23. Age has nothing on him, but inconsistent teammates sure bug him.

The Lakers are coming off of a bad season and Jeanie Buss has to improve the roster. Rob Pelinka has plenty of time to repair the damage. Get new names? Absolutely. LeBron may soon join forces with a bunch of new players. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant has been mentioned as targets for the purple and gold.
