Over the course of Iman Shumpert‘s nine years in the NBA, he became well-acquainted with the Houston Rockets. Shumpert faced off against the Rockets as an opponent and played for the Rockets organization.
Shumpert got a firsthand glimpse of the dominance of Rockets five-time MVP finalist James Harden, as Harden dazzled as his teammate and made life difficult as an opponent. Harden has proven to be one of the most unguardable players in NBA history, and certainly the most unstoppable force in today’s league.
Shumpert recently joined former teammate Channing Frye on The Players Tribune and shared his thoughts on The Beard, while also outlining the difficulty of defending Harden.
