Former New York Knicks shooting guard Iman Shumpert had nothing but words of praise for Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks’ 2011 first-round pick talked about his old teammate in an interview on DJ Vlad’s YouTube channel.
“Off the court, he don’t get enough credit,” Shumpert said. “For somebody that can deal with noise, somebody that can withhold comments and, just, not hide behind their work but let the work speak for them. And somebody that, finally, when he does speak, doesn’t lie. He won’t lie and he won’t blame.”
Shumpert spoke highly of Anthony’s ability to take criticism without responding, at least not verbally.
