QUOTES BY Iman Shumpert


When I was growing up, all my cousins had high-top fades. I thought it would be cool to see how long I could grow a high-top.

Keep feeding yourself with positivity.

Love is one of the most powerful and most dangerous things I've ever encountered and, within the same breath, one of the most beautiful and relevant journeys of my life.

I'm a people person. I'm a hugger.

Ray Allen's diet was insane. He was trying to break it down to me what he ate and how disciplined he tries to stay. When you're a 21 year-old, you're not used to that. He was doing Paleo and experimenting with all types of things.

I was called fool's gold. That's what I was called in the draft combine. That's how I remember it. I took it personal.

I always enjoyed writing.

I'm a taco guy, so I like Mexican food, and any form of a taco, I'm going to eat it. During the season, I'll make it a grilled chicken taco. But after the season, give me a regular beef taco and fill it to capacity. I need meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, pico de gallo, and everything you got.

In Chicago, growing up there, that's how we played. You play for something more than just yourself. You play to win, and that's all that really matters.
