Love is one of the only reminders besides pain that things are real. It's one of the only things worth fighting for.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
With Cleveland, I think they did a great job in knowing what their team needed, and when I came, I just did my job, and they fully embraced me.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I wish I was in my 20s during the '90s to really fully live it. I feel like that was a pretty exciting time being from Chicago, seeing Jordan win six rings.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I'm glad Phil Jackson got the rings for Chicago. You traded me away from New York, cool. It's all business; it's all love, whatever. But I'm a grownup now. You not my hero no more.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Because of what I've saved, I don't really have a lot of worries about money.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Since I entered the league, half of my checks have always gone into a separate account... I pride myself on doing that. I've done it no matter the size of my contract or salary.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
My music, you know I'm not lying about anything, and the way you can tell is how in-depth I can get about everything I'm talking about.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I think, a lot of times, the mistake in music - even rappers that are trying to be big time - if you're broke, rap about being broke. If you're sensitive, rap about being sensitive, 'cause there are other sensitive people. If you're sensitive, but you talk about being a tough person that doesn't care about anything, people will call your bluff.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I like art; if I could just draw pictures all day, I would, but I can't; I'm horrible. I practiced at it, still didn't get better - gave it up. I'm good with words, though, so I write music, poetry; sometimes I just journal in my phone.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I can go toe-to-toe with somebody with my shoes. But you can't do it with LeBron, 'cause what shoe does he not have?
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I was always growing, so it made no sense for my mom and dad to load me up with a bunch of clothes. But I hated coming to school and feeling like a girl could be like, 'Iman's probably gon' wear this today.' So I would always have to mix and match and find a way to look different. I took a lot of pride in that.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I think early on in the league, my biggest problem was I tried to put out what I believe was an innocent fire because I felt it was a conflict with other stars.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I don't think I have whatever that thing is that makes some athletes bad with money.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
When you have a lot of communication, it picks up the aggressiveness with everybody on the court.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Everyone will say something about confidence or something if you miss a couple shots. You've just got to keep shooting.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I think when I started playing against some of the best guys on the AAU circuit, I started to look at myself and say, 'I am one of these guys.'
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
It doesn't matter what position they put me at; I've just got to make sure that I come out and play right.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
As I go back and look at the film, if I look at my first year, every time I caught the ball, I was looking to do something.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Rap isn't that time-consuming for me, compared to an ordinary artist. I do not stay in the studio all day.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
The NBA actually encourages balanced living. Realistically, basketball only takes up about six hours of your day before it becomes counterproductive.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I express myself through song when I can't let people in on my thoughts otherwise. I need the creative process.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
My high threshold for pain will allow me to battle through pretty much anything if I find a way to run and slide.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Truth is, none of us professional athletes are ever 100 percent healthy. We just decide what we're going to tape up and push through without making it worse.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Everybody in this league waits on an opportunity when you don't play the starter minutes, when you don't play the type of minutes you want. And with each given opportunity, you got to be ready to come out and perform.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
A lot of people celebrate the '80s. I was a '90s guy. The best music, and basketball, was at its high in the '90s, with all of the best players, playing the best style of basketball in that era, and Michael Jordan winning six rings in the city I grew up in.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
If an athlete plays the guitar, they say, 'That's so cool, he can play the guitar.' But if a guy raps, they say, 'Please don't be another rapper,' only because the rappers are so bad. I promise I'm not anything like that.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
I was told I was going undrafted. That's what I was told by everybody. I guess I wasn't good enough in everybody else's eyes.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
Back home, if you get scored on, you're the weak link. When I started getting good, they were like, 'If you're going to play on our team when we go play pick-up, and you start getting scored on, we're not going to let you play anymore.' I started learning how to help other people out with my defense.
Quote by -Iman Shumpert
In high school, I had gym, and with me just being so competitive, I would go too hard in gym class.
