Iman Shumpert describes himself as a low-key and private person. His life, however, is anything but muted.
His office is the unrivaled pressure cooker of Madison Square Garden, a place that burns hotter when the Knicks are losing. His girlfriend is Teyana Taylor, a woman who released her first studio album last month (under Kanye's GOOD Music, no less). And he spends his free time recording music, an endeavor that can be scrutinized as harshly as his place on the basketball court. For a self-described quiet person, Shumpert's days are inescapably noisy.
Earlier this week, we sat down with the Knicks shooting guard to touch on the noise in his life, like his rift with The Breakfast Club's Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, how Teyana Taylor's helped him to become a better artist, and what the Knicks can do—like, today!—to save their season. Check it out.
