Iman Shumpert on Kyrie, LeBron, Draymond, Curry, Kanye, PnB Rock, Fighting JR Smith (Full Interview)

In this full-length interview, former NBA champion Iman Shumpert shares his thoughts on the controversial "White Lives Matter" t-shirt created by Kanye West before reacting to DJ Vlad's statement that he can't be canceled. This led to a debate about cancel culture, where Iman explains that great artists such as Kanye will live forever through their art. Iman then spoke about how people like Nipsey Hussle will live forever through their art. As the Q&A session moves along, Iman Shumpert reacts to LeBron signing a new contract with the Lakers for $97 million, DJ Vlad's controversial "Video Game Tweet," the traffic murder of PnB Rock, high school players making the jump to the NBA, his future endeavors and more.

This how u supposed to handle a vlad interview. Good shit iman

[@lennyortega9144]

I love that he stands solid, and doesn't allow himself to get wrapped up in the hype that usually goes along with those questions... He's exercising patience and it's admirable. He doesnt mind an interview, but you not about to rope him into a gossip session, when he almost doesnt give af bout 90% of these current events.

[@d0nnn664]

I can listen to Shump talk for hours. intelligent, funny, keeps you engaged in the convo. Cool dude all way around.

[@MirrorMirrorConvos]

If minding your business was a person it’s Shump 😂. He keep it short on subjects not about him AND he corrects Vlad on some the verbiage

[@lydiablackmon4377]

I love this interview, Iman has always been so dope, no sugar coating, just real, so laid back, love his family dynamic as well.

It’s cool to see someone challenge Vlad in good convo. Iman has been in front enough cameras to get past the fame and flashy lights and articulate himself. Bring Iman back Vlad

He's becoming one of my favorite interviews

[@boomerang905]

Shumpter has principles. He has a lot of expressions but he likes to talk about business and passion for making careers work. Great philosophies! What I like most is how he guards his tongue when speaking of others. No sell-out in his body.

[@arvelynlewis]

This guy is comfortable in his skin. Confidence is real. He is funny for real. Please make this interview about me since I'm sitting here. If you want to talk about them, call them. I love it.

[@tredarriuscanady1630]

Iman too real for Vlad, "My life a video game now" lol

[@vc5232]

Iman look high 😂😅

[@waynealonzo7176]

Vlad is 100% wrong about gamers lol and I don’t even play the game but it definitely doesn’t mean you’re depressed. When you in everybody else business that can be a form of depression though 🤔

[@Dosed]

1:00:09 is straight facts. When my moms died playing my game was the only escape I had. I sank thousands of hours into it and noticed myself beginning to rely on it to get my mind away from the world. Everyone has they own ways of dealing with pain and escaping through video games and online interactions is absolutely one of them.
