CLEVELAND, June 30 (UPI) -- Cleveland might have abstained from mirroring Golden State's championship parade jabs from last season, but the ripples are still in the water. On Tuesday, Iman Shumpert was the one throwing rocks.
While working at his youth basketball camp in Oak Park, Illinois, the Cavaliers guard was asked about guarding Stephen Curry during the NBA Finals.

Shumpert took advantage of the softball question: "What's it like to guard Steph Curry?" His response during the question and answer session was simply: "It felt good to beat him," according to the Pioneer Press.
