Shumpert is at artistic peace these days and dedicating his time to being able to express all sides of his creativity. Shumpert teamed with dance partner Daniella Karagach to become the first NBA player to win “Dancing with the Stars” last November and the dancing continues on the tour. “The main joy that I have with being with ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is not having to hide myself, not even a little bit,” Shumpert told The Athletic. “They’ve done an incredible job with telling my story in bits and pieces, of course, telling the story of what I’m into, my family, why I like certain songs. I think it’s helped people sort of break away from judging it like I’m an athlete and judging it for what it is. I think that’s the coolest part. I’ve never really received energy from people that wasn’t from scoring the ball or getting a stop.”
