When Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith came over from the New York Knicks to join the Cleveland Cavaliers, there was the obvious problem as all new players have joining a new team. How would these guys fit in a new system, with new teammates, coaches and such?
It looks like LeBron James has made a move to welcome and accept his new teammates, which now also includes Kendrick Perkins and Iman Shumpert’s famous hair.
James and Shumpert took to a pregame handshake to showcase their new found cohesiveness. LeBron James and Iman Shumpert do a multitude of things, without looking at each other, that culminates in both Shumpert and James fixing their hair. For Shumpert (and his hightop haircut) it’s a fun for LeBron to do something with his new teammate..
LeBron James also embraces Kendrick Perkins. Big Perk, like he used to do with Kevin Durant, whispers words of wisdom into his ear before he takes the court.
