Former University of Kentucky basketball head coach John Calipari, who coached Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, shared a reason for the MVP's nonchalant demeanor. Speaking with ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Iman Shumpert, Calipari explained Gilgeous-Alexander's poker face amid NBA critics. It's an approach coupled with elite talent that yielded Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder a 1-1 series to the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals. Advertisement ESPN's Windhorst and Shumpert relayed the Gilgeous-Alexander conversation they had with Calipari, per ESPN's Hoop Collective. 'Coach Cal said before the game that, 'that even keel and that nonchalant attitude sometimes is used to hide his teammates.' And as critical as I was of that statement, just because I think it's coming off of watching,' Shumpert said before Windhorst intervened. 'What did he mean by that? I don't understand,' Windhorst said, to which Shumpert replied, 'He says that it's just another game, and he does that so that if you do ridicule,' Shumpert replied. 'It's a defense mechanism,' Windhorst stated. Advertisement Coach John Calipari is now the head coach of the University of Arkansas' basketball team.

FISH/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Former NBA guard Iman Shumpert understands how Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's nonchalant demeanor can shield him from harsh criticism. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder threw the most punches against the Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The confidence head coach Mark Daigneault had in his team's ability to bounce back from losses all season long paid off. Either way, Gilgeous-Alexander remains even-keel. For Shumpert, Gilgeous-Alexander builds a closer bond with his teammates when his mood doesn't shift after wins or losses. At this stage of the 2024-25 campaign, it's the kind of leadership SGA has put forth that makes it easy for his teammates to follow suit. Advertisement 'It's a defensive mechanism, I'm already nonchalant, right? I'm going to be nonchalant about this. It's just another game,' Shumpert said. 'If it is more than another game, I will deliver that message to my teammates. But right now, y'all are going to deal with nonchalant.' After scoring 38 points in his NBA Finals debut, Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting, eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals. He scored a combined 72 points in Games 1 and 2, surpassing Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson (71) for most points in the first two games of an NBA Finals debut.

Iman Shumpert backs Jalen Brunson's dad Rick for next Knicks head coach: ‘I think it's time'
Former Knicks guard Iman Shumpert had an out-of-the-box idea for who should be the next head coach of the Knicks. Shumpert was on ESPN's 'Hoop Streams' live from NBA Finals Game 1 with Vanessa Richardson and Brian Windhorst when the topic of the Knicks' coaching search came up, and when he was asked who he would like to see take over, Shumpert shocked everyone with his pick — Jalen Brunson's dad Rick. 'I think it's time, they're going to put Rick Brunson in there. I think it's time,' Shumpert said. 'Go ahead, let Rick do it. His son's already playing point guard. Head of the snake, head of the snake. He's an extension of the head of the snake.' Advertisement 3 Iman Shumpert had a candidate in mind for the Knicks' head coaching vacancy. The suggestion seemed to surprise both Richardson and Windhorst before the latter jumped in to say that Brunson had not been a name that he had heard talked about getting the job. 'I have not heard that yet, I mean that's an interesting concept,' Windhorst said. 'But I will say, whoever it is has to be a guy who has the respect of the locker room immediately. Veteran team that's designed to win now, so Rick is a guy who would have the respect of the team, but I think it's going to be somebody who will walk in with that.'

Teyana Taylor & Iman Shumpert's Battle Escalates To Contempt Of Court Claims Again
Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert's bitter relationship continues months after the finalization of their tumultuous divorce. The former power couple has become a broken shell of their past selves, frequently throwing shots at each other in court since their 2023 split. Most recently, the now-venomous duo is trying to get the other person locked up for contempt. Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert were once a fan-favorite for their blossoming romance and united front in public. They were together for seven years in what many assumed was a blissful marriage until they announced their separation in September 2023. They share two children, Junie and Rue. According to new reports, Shumpert filed a motion for contempt on May 5, where he accused Taylor of violating the terms of their divorce agreement. The 2024 deal included stipulations about their child support, custody, and property division. The most crucial term in this case, per Shumpert, was the clause prohibiting both parties from discussing their divorce case and agreement. In his motion obtained by In Touch, the former NBA star argued that Taylor violated their agreement on March 12 when she: "Willfully and contemptuously exposed and broadcast specific provisions of the final judgment decree of divorce and related provisions, recklessly disregarding the financial circumstances, privacy, safety, and security of the parties and their minor children." Shumpert claimed that Taylor's alleged actions negatively affected his earnings and damaged his personal and professional reputation. He promised to provide the specific amount he lost at a later date before firing off more accusations at his ex-wife. According to Shumpert, Taylor willfully obstructed and interfered with his right to pick up their children from school on April 17. He claimed she took the kids out without any reason, noting this behavior was on brand for the entertainer. The former Cleveland Cavaliers player accused Taylor of disparaging him in front of their kids. "For example, in the presence of the children, [Teyana] has shouted crude and inflammatory racial insults at [Iman]," his motion alleged, adding: "Such insults and criticism of [Iman] have caused the children to unjustly suffer stress and worry, unfairly placing the children in the self-imposed position of peacemaker between their parents." Based on Taylor's alleged crimes, Shumpert implored the court to find her guilty of civil and criminal contempt. He also asked for severe punishment, including imprisonment for up to 20 days and a $1,000 fine. His demands come weeks after his ex-wife echoed similar sentiments. Taylor filed a motion to find Shumpert in contempt of violating their divorce agreement by leaking sealed divorce documents to the press. "[Iman] has consistently exhibited an alarming disregard for the consequences of his contemptuous behavior and should be found in willful contempt of the Court's Decree," her attorney argued. The "A Thousand and One" actress demanded that the court throw Iman in jail for 20 days and pay fines for his alleged crimes. However, Taylor denied pushing for Shumpert's incarceration in an Instagram Live, telling fans: "I never tried to send Iman to jail. I'm still not trying to send Iman to jail." Taylor is no stranger to filing motions for contempt, as The Blast noted she did so in 2024 during her divorce from Shumpert. At the time, she accused her former husband of diminishing the value of their marital estate by taking out loans without her knowledge. The entertainer explained that she became aware of the situation when her counsel noticed a sharp decrease in some of the values Shumpert submitted for certain investment accounts on or about March 7, 2024. The figures differed from the statements he shared with her team in October 2023. To get to the bottom of this mystery, Taylor enlisted Mike Bean, a certified divorce financial analyst, to investigate Shumpert's movements. The analyst allegedly discovered several loans in his name from 2023, including a $886,285 loan from a marital Merrill Lynch account. The financial analyst's report about Shumpert continued with withdrawals of $878,760 from a marital Park Avenue account throughout 2023. The former NBA star also took out $1,883,899 against a second-marital Park Avenue account, and another loan of $105,000 from the Mass Mutual Life insurance policy. Based on the information given to her by the financial analyst, Taylor discovered Shumpert had diminished the value of their marital estate by $3,797,944. She argued his actions violated the court's automatic domestic standing order and pushed to have him held in contempt. When a person files for divorce in Georgia, they are issued automatic domestic standing orders. These are designed to protect both parties' interests and prevent specific actions, such as a spouse disposing of marital assets while the divorce is ongoing. Are Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert heading for another nasty legal battle?
