The former New York Knicks guard may have played his final game.
If the New York Knicks or any other NBA team is looking for veteran assistance, they'd be wise not to bump Shump.
"People ask me, 'Are you retired?' I don't think I'll ever say I'm done playing," Shumpert told Siddiq. "I think if somebody said, 'Hey man, I just need you to come sit here and work out with the guys.' If everything made sense and I liked what I had to do, I wouldn't mind doing it. I don't think I'll ever go on a podium and say, 'I'm retiring from basketball.
Shumpert made it clear that any NBA opportunity would have to come with some assurance, as he's not interested in recurring 10-day deals. Otherwise, he wouldn't rule out niche endeavors like Ice Cube's Big3 league. "If not, I'll stay out of everybody's way and do my podcast and play basketball when I feel like it."
