Iman Shumpert puts sports world on notice with historic 'Dancing with the Stars' run

That's 2016 NBA champion and "Dancing with the Stars" finalist Iman Shumpert to you.

The former Cleveland Cavaliers guard and New York Knicks 2011 first-round draft pick made history when he and partner Daniella Karagach secured a spot in the final round of the 30th season of the show.

While Shumpert is far from the first former professional athlete to advance to the DWTS finale, he is the first ex-NBA player to do so.

To be fair, he's also the only one who is married to singer-songwriter, dancer and choreographer Teyana Taylor.
