Former Cavaliers forward Iman Shumpert's controversial remarks about former teammate LeBron James the other day sparked a stir, and on that podcast, Shumpert claimed that Lakers superstar LeBron James "ruined basketball" when he joined the Heat and built a Big Three lineup.
Considering that LeBron James suffered greater criticism when he joined the Heat, Shumpert's remarks undoubtedly caused more controversy. However, the meaning that Shumpert really hopes to express on the show does not seem to be fully conveyed, and Shumpert also responded to the controversial remarks on social media and implied that the media's statement about himself was completely out of context:
"I'm going to laugh to death, some people think I'm denigrating LeBron, and if they've gone through the whole interview, they'll find out that I'm actually praising James." I can't have slammed LeBron's level NBA career, where people just don't like to hear people say different things and choose to side. ”
Iman-Shumpert insisted that he never intended to "lash out" leBron James, and to be honest, he did give LeBron James's choice a high opinion if he spoke to The full interview with Schumpert on the show.
Then again, Shumpert did utter the word "ruined basketball," which is also a factual statement. So I don't quite understand why Shumpert would take such an obvious accusation as a positive statement, no matter how much praise he expressed to LeBron James before saying this, he still thinks from the bottom of his heart that LeBron James's choice to leave the Cavaliers and join the Heat to build a "Big Three" lineup is to ruin basketball.
