Iman Shumpert
LeBron Retiring In Cleveland Would Be ‘Coolest Story’
Published
The NBA world is in the dark about LeBron James‘ future … but if the King were to return to Cleveland for a final season, his old teammate tells TMZ Sports it would be “the coolest story.”
We caught up with Cavs champ Iman Shumpert at LAX this week … and asked if he wants to see the kid from Akron go home (again) before retiring.
Shump said James has obviously earned the right to decide for himself … but admitted the opportunity to bring things full circle to end his career is pretty enticing to him.
James’ return worked out well the first time around — he ended up raising a championship banner and ending the city’s 52-year title drought.
Speaking of their old team, we asked Shump if that iconic Cavs squad plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 3-1 comeback on the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals — and he said whatever the group decides, he’s there.
Kevin Love previously told us he’d like to do something with the guys to honor the ann’y … so here’s hoping they get to planning!!
