Iman Shumpert’s spirits these days must be flying as high as his high-top fade. The NBA star and Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard recently announced that he was awaiting the arrival of his first child with actress and R&B singer Teyana Taylor.
Hopefully, when the child is born out of wedlock to Iman Shumpert, Teyana Taylor won’t go all Sabrina the Psycho Baby Mama on Shump and drive him as nuts as she drove Bow Wow (and us) in Madea’s Big Happy Family (2011). What on earth was that about?!!!
“I couldn’t be more happy than to share my first child with the woman I intended to have my family with,” said proud papa, Iman Shumpert, confirming the Teyana Taylor pregnancy rumors. “I love you @teyanataylor thank you for your sacrifice in starting our very own family!”
No one should be surprised by Iman Shumpert’s cavalier use of the word “sacrifice.” The Cavaliers don’t pay him for his eloquence off the King’s court.
Being in love and all, Iman Shumpert is simply ign’ant to the fact that “Anchor Babies” ain’t just for immigrants attempting to rise up from the border. Beautiful and exotic imports from Africa and Europe alike drop anchor yearly to “sacrifice” and stake their claim to all the riches and prosperity America has to offer—with or without that elusive Holy Grail of jewelry, also known as the wedding band!!
Although Iman Shumpert is No Lord of the Rings . . . yet (on the court or off), Tall, Dark & Handsome has already granted the wee one a name which he believes will bestow upon his basket of joy a winning shot:
Iman Shumpert, Jr.
Just one thing, the ham in the photo, hand behind head, feet kicked up chil-laxing above? Yeah, well, feast your eyes on this: When thass done cookin’, thass gone be . . . a girl! According to her sire, little princess Iman Tayla Shumpert, Jr. is expected to crown January 16, 2016.
Really Shump? Shump, Jr.?
