According to NBA star Iman Shumpert, Illinois has come up with brilliant NBA players, which led to an online debate, as people defended how New Jersey and Georgia have also given brilliant NBA players for history to remember.
It has become a discussion where fans have ensured they speak up for which state, they think, has created brilliant NBA faces.
Debate between Iman Shumpert and
Karl Anthony Towns
heats up
NBA star Iman Shumpert began the discussion when he shared a post by DH12 Above the Rim, where he said how Illinois has been better at creating more NBA stars than New Jersey. He said, 'We ain't even made it to the bigs. Cuz I got Ticket, Curry, AD.' With his bold statement, the post got the attention of famous stars like Dwyane Wade and Dwight Howard.
Meanwhile, NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns feels otherwise. He said, 'I'm always gonna go with my city… Of course I'm gonna go with Jersey all day, every day. Like I said, with my own two eyes, I seen people who cook.'
This friendly debate turned a little different after Dwyane Wade also offered his support to Iman Shumpert, since he also belongs to Illinois, along with top NBA stars like Derrick Rose and Kevin Garnett. But then, New Jersey too has bigger names, like that of Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Anthony Towns.

Iman Shumpert believes Rick Brunson should be New York Knicks' head coach
Iman Shumpert believes the New York Knicks should keep things in the family. While he was speaking on ESPN, during the NBA Finals, he said the Knicks should make Rick Brunson their next head coach. Rick is also the associate head coach, and Jalen Brunson, Knicks' star's father.
Shumpert said, "They're going to put Rick Brunson in there, I think it's time, Go ahead and let Rick do it. His son's already playing point guard. Head of the snake's extension of the head of the snake."
