Boy what can you say about Shumpert--this is not a 3 game stretch--hes played good in every game and its on both ends.

IF THJ can stay aggressive and take the ball to the hoop to go along with his OS shooting than he should be able to command the 30 minutes. He really needs to focus on playing hard and smart all over the court.

For those who missed it, here's a video clip (not Youtube) of the best move of the game provided by Shump.

It was more impressive because of when he did it in crunch time.

People made fun of him working on his game during local chicago summer tournaments and schooling locals but ita paid off for him. Health, quickness, handle & shot.

He's been the hardest working/most prideful Knick since day 1
Throwback to the 90's Knicks

He will continue to work on his game on both ends

I don't think that this is him turning over a new leaf at all. I'd move him ASAP before the bottom falls out. Wouldn't want to re-sign him to big dollars based on just one good season and have him turn into Landry Fields.

Hey you are not alone with this line of thinking. Many good young KNICK players have come through that door who knick fans couldn't wait to get rid of. Only to regret their success with their new teams.

Just like we would regret Shumperts success with OKC and San antonio

Landry Fields got paid by Toronto when they had their heads screwed on backwards. He was never more than a bench player. Poor comparison.

David Lee couldn't hit a jumper if he was standing inside the basket when he came into the league. Every year he added to his game. Some people don't pay attention. They stick to their first impressions like dogs who won't let go of a bone.

It's the reason why there is such a complete disregard for lottery picks by the Knicks and their fans. They expect lebron like success from day one.

It doesn't work that way. You have to groom your skilled young players. Best part if you get to do it while they are on their rookie contracts so if they pan out GREAT if not they didn't hurt your cap space.

The team is already wishing they picked up his 4 million option, cause he is playing at over double that level now. At least he is restricted, unlike Larkin.

I wonder if they try to move Hardaway though if a decent offer comes up - purely cause of his lack of defense. I'd keep the kid if possible (if we can get defenders around him.)

Neither has Shumpert. What's your point?

And many more have been unmitigated disasters like Toney Douglas, Frank Williams, Mike Sweetney, etc. A few consecutive good games that occur during a throw away season doesn't change the fact that Shump has teetered between being mediocre and downright awful for the rest of his career. He's not someone I'd commit to long-term.

And exactly what has Shumpert added to his game? Go ahead, I'll wait...

As for David Lee, he consistently produced when given the opportunity and demonstrated that he was a walking double-double. That trait is a rare quality! Shumpert, on the other hand, is a dime a dozen player. The Suns basically got him in Gerald Green from the D-League. The Spurs got their version of Shumpert in Danny Green from the same place. So why am I suppose to be enthralled with Iman? Because he's managed to string together 10 good games in a 4 season career?

Rhetoric isn't going to work here. If you haven't noticed, every other thread I've posted has endorsed the Knicks tanking in order to get a top tier lo
ttery pick. I was even one of the guys who endorsed sign and trading Melo so that we could rebuild. My problem isn't that I hate draft picks or that I'm impatient.

My issue is that I've watched this game long enough to not be enthralled with 10 games of anything. Jeremy Lin had himself 10 or so good games and he's a bench player on any team worth a damn and still, Shumpert was no Lin. Signing Shumpert to a long term deal is a huge mistake and since he'll be getting offers this offseason, its best to move him now when we can still get assets for him.

I am hoping Shump has become the player he has been so far this season. However, that first impression is based on three years of watching him.

Exactly. I'd say the same thing even if he averages 40 PPG. Giving him mega bucks is a bad gamble

what is mega bucks? I don't think he gets a Klay Thompson type contract. Also, it depends on the pkg. He has a defensive rep and it had been reported that a team or two was willing to give up a 1st. So if he continues this level of play what is his worth on the trade market?

Well recent reports suggest Draymond Green[you hear that yellowboy] will command $8mil

Or more on the open market, if we pay Shumpert anywhere close


To $8mil or give him Mike Stanton money I'll puke

Every last drop of acid in my stomach out


And if Shump was playing on any other team

Fans would be pulling the he's putting up good numbers on a bad team schtick


I will not fall for Shumpert's "Imma Get You Suckers and Get Mine" contract yr play

Not sure why his cult following is growing at an alarming rate maybe surpassing Melo's


Cash this stock in Phil, you owe that to us

Shumpert has been very impressive
