Iman Shumpert tried to get Guillermo from ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ get kicked out

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Iman Shumpert wants nothing to do with Guillermo from ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The NBA Finals are about to tip off on Thursday night, and that means their own media day ahead of Game 1. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ sent security guard Guillermo Rodriguez to the Oracle Arena in northern California to interview the players.
It looked like he particularly got underneath the skin of Iman Shumpert by asking if he could level his hair. J.R. Smith was surprisingly friendly with Guillermo, signing a net for him – yes a net – and letting him take his picture and put it in an app that makes a person look fat.
But Shumpert wanted nothing to do with Guillermo, and at one point called for security to escort him out.
The vide doesn’t tell the whole story, that looks like the end of a longer sequence. It might be this moment when Guillermo shoved the ball in his face that he had enough.
