Former Cleveland Cavaliers player Iman Shumpert recently made headlines, and not for his 'Dancing with the Stars' win. Shumpert was reportedly arrested for possession of marijuana.
After the TSA detected a "green leafy substance" in his bag, Shumpert wasn't allowed to board his Delta flight to California. He claimed that he was on his way to see his daughter in Los Angeles and was later cuffed and arrested.
It was also reported that the 2011-12 All-Rookie member had 6.12 ounces of weed in his possession and tested positive for it. Additionally, there were gun components found in his bag, a Glock magazine, and 14 nine millimeter rounds.
NBA fans immediately hopped on social media to share their reactions to Shumpert's arrest.
All jokes aside, Iman Shumpert has committed a serious offense. It's being reported that the 2016 champion may face up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Texas is one of the few states in the US that has not legalized the recreational use of marijuana.
Iman Shumpert's last three NBA seasons weren't too impressive
Iman Shumpert was last seen on an NBA court back in the 2020-21 season with the Brooklyn Nets on a 10-day deal. He only appeared in two games and both were in garbage time. The Nets didn't sign him for the rest of the season.
Following his stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Shumpert's numbers started to go down. He was never really a prolific scorer for any of the teams that he played for. However, his efficiency on the floor earned him plenty of game time.
Back with the New York Knicks and the Cavs, Shumpert was a key player defensively and as an outside threat.
During the four years where the league was dominated by the Warriors and the Cavaliers, Shumpert was the player responsible for trying to put the brakes on Steph Curry.
Being a three-and-D player for the Cavs, the burden of shutting down Curry during the Finals for four straight years fell on the 6-foot-5 guard. He recently expressed how intense his matchups against the Splash Brothers were during those years.
"That's why I love Klay Thompson to this day, bro. 'Cause that man was ready to swing on me."
"Steph too, man. Steph was talking s**t, man."
After four years with the Cavs, Shumpert found himself bouncing around the league, and played for the Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and the Nets.
Right now, Iman Shumpert is a free agent, but he hasn't ruled out the possibility of playing in the league again.
Guess the Lakers players!
