Cavs’ Iman Shumpert calls Iman Niko Mirotic a b-tch
By Mike Dyce
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert had a bad word to call Niko Mirotic after being clotheslined in the second quarter.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert got into a bit of an altercation with Niko Mirotic in the second quarter of Game 6 against the Chicago Bulls. Shumpert was trying to get into the paint and was going around Mirotic, and then Mirotic stuck out an arm to try and stop Shumpert and basically ended up clotheslining him.
Mirotic was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for the play.
Moments later, Shumpert had a little scoring spree.
Shumpert responded to Mirotic flagrant by scoring 6 points in 39 seconds. Dunleavy in for Mirotic.

He punctuated that by hitting a big three pointer and seemed to be rather fired up from the incident. He had some choice words as he walked towards the bench calling an unnamed player a “b-tch.”
After hitting that three, Iman Shumpert goes to the bench yelling "He's a b****." I think we know who he's referring to.

We all know he is refering to Mirotic here, even though he left it open with the use of “he.”
Apparently not every reporter at the game heard the comment though.
Shump played this beautifully. Never said a word. And is now currently baking Mirotic, making him look silly
