Iman Shumpert doesn't like it when reporters print things that get said off the record. He will go on the record to express exactly how much he doesn't like it.

. @ChrisBHaynes on the record. i don't like you. instead of reporting about the game i love, all you do is put out negative vibes to fans.
— Iman Shumpert I (@I_Am_Iman) May 16, 2015 Backstory? Apparently Shumpert felt Haynes broke locker room code when he printed something that was said on a whim in the locker room after game 6:
After the game, Shumpert was still miffed by that wrestling tactic. As he was getting dressed, he was telling James “That dude better be cool. I’m from here. I got my family here and everything. He wants to get out safe, don’t he?”
It prompted a laugh from his teammates and James responded, “He must not know you’re from The Chi.” Mirotic was partially responsible for their demise, which allowed Irving to be a second-half spectator.
Regardless of whether it should or should not have been printed, it’s clear that Iman Shumpert is not a Chris Haynes fan.
