Hello, welcome to another episode of Club Shea Shea. I am your host, Shannon Sharp. I'm also the proprietor of Club Shea Shea. Stopping by for conversation and a drink today. He's a true renaissance man. He's an NBA champion. He was also a member of the very first NBA championship brought to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's the first NBA player to take home the grand prize on Dancing with the Stars. He's the first athlete in his high school history to have his number retired. A multi-hacketed analyst, a rapper, an actor, artist, an entertainer, TV host, a businessman, and a father. And he's from Chicago. Here he is, Iman Shumpert. Man, I appreciate you, bro. So, bro, how you doing? Man, why you made me sound better than I was?
Shannon Sharpe 2:09
Give me some big shoes. You know what I wanted to ask? How you get the... Because I only know one Amon, and that's the famous model. How did you get that name?
Iman Shumpert 2:18
Is that where... Did your mom... My mama, she didn't name me after, but she always loved the name. Yeah, okay. And it's of African descent, but me and my brothers all got little wrinkles of African descent in our name. We're not... Technically, we don't know our roots. Right, okay. You know what I mean?
Shannon Sharpe 2:36
So you haven't done like a DNA or an ancestry or anything like that?
Iman Shumpert 2:38
No, I don't know my roots. Yeah, I don't know my roots. I just know my mama liked African names. She came with Iman. It just means someone to follow what she said because I was just a big ass. I was a big baby. I was born at 12 pounds, 4 ounces. Damn! 23 and a half inches long. So she kind of, I think about the pain. Yeah. I knew. Got to give him some sort of, you know what I mean, something official. Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe 2:59
Man, well, congratulations. Man, I want to toast everything that you've done. You know what this is?
Iman Shumpert 3:02
I can't. I can't. I can't. Ramadan started.
Shannon Sharpe 3:04
Oh, my bad. I forgot. So I forgot that.
Iman Shumpert 3:06
I know, but I ain't Muslim. Like I said, I ain't Muslim. I ain't got nothing going on, but it's a discipline thing. Discipline, okay. Yeah, I'll take a little water, though, if y'all got something. Right there by your seat. Yeah. Right there by your seat.
Shannon Sharpe 3:17
I knew you cared. Yeah, yeah. I knew you cared about me. So, Jack, let me ask you this. I remember seeing on your Instagram post, you lost your father, unfortunately, last year. What did your dad mean to you? How influential was he in the demand that we that shape that we see sitting here today?
Iman Shumpert 3:40
My dad, he just did everything like he did. It's such a hard thing when you got somebody there and you get so used to it. It ain't that I underappreciated him because I talk to my dad every day.
Shannon Sharpe 4:02
You know what I'm saying?
Iman Shumpert 4:02
I didn't underappreciate him. But it's like, when it's good men around, especially when they just get snatched up like that, ain't nobody really ready for it. Like the hold that it leaves, I guess the process of it was like understanding that until I go down, they really won't know. I mean, we could celebrate. We could do this. People talk about getting flowers while you're still here on Earth. But you can't really feel it until somebody gone. You know what I'm saying? So it's like now when I do like just my day-to-day stuff, like I can hear him. Like I know what he taught me. Like it's to the point where it's like waking up and finna leave out my room before I brush my teeth. I can hear him. You didn't even brush your teeth.
Unknown 4:53
Like, how you going to be in everybody's face? You didn't even brush your teeth, dude.
Iman Shumpert 4:57
Right. You know what I mean?
