When Iman Shumpert wasn't working his way back from a torn ACL last summer, he was honing his craft inside the recording booth.
Shumpert's summer was clearly productive. His athleticism wasn't always there, but he flashed some of that suffocating defense that New York Knicks fans were used to seeing along with a suddenly lethal three-point stroke (40.2 percent).
When Shumpert, or 2wo 1ne rather, dropped his debut mixtape "The #Post90s" in December, he effectively buried the other rap hopefuls flooding the NBA ranks.
If Friday was any indication, his 2013 summer output isn't going to be nearly as generous.
A rare third-year NBA starter serving in the summer league ranks, he stood out from the crowd for more than just his trademark flat-top.
Unfortunately, he would've preferred it if the fans had focused on his hair. Instead, analysts were left to wonder what they'd just seen after he labored through an 0-of-5, two-point, four-turnover night. The Knicks were outscored by 17 points during his 27-minute run, the worst plus/minus rating for any of the game's participants.
Even worse, he wasn't the only Knick?who had a rough day at the office.
Tim Hardaway, Jr., New York's first-round pick, missed eight shots from the field and five of his six three-point attempts. C.J. Leslie, an undrafted free agent who inked a partially guaranteed one-year contract with New York, shot just 2-of-9 from the floor.
