Iman Shumpert had a relatively quiet regular season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he’s already made a few highlights through the first two rounds of the playoffs. First, he rose for this nasty jam right in the face of poor Mike Muscala, and followed it up with this equally impressive one-handed putback slam.

Shumpert and the Cavs got off to a slow start in Tuesday’s Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Raptors, but Shump gave Cleveland a 29-28 lead late in the first quarter with this nifty driving jam (h/t @NBA):

Is it safe to say The Land is lit Tuesday night? Probably so if the Raptors continue to not defend the rim at all. Because as the game heads towards halftime they have still not done so yet.
