Shumpert, a Chicago native, has forayed into rap before. He released a mixtape last year entitled, "The3 #Post90s," according to NBC. He also released a track on Youtube earlier this week in response to Kendrick Lamar calling himself the king of New York.
"In response to Kendrick verse...he is my fav rapper," Shumpert tweeted on Tuesday. "He can say what he wants. He is the BEST out. But ill still dunk his ass."
