Iman Shumpert addresses the rumors surrounding his dating life head-on… telling TMZ Sports That Amber Rose is nothing but a friend, despite the two recently being at the beach together.
The NBA champion and the TV personality/model made waves after they were spotted in Miami last month, smiling and lounging with each other by the water.
Our sources at the time said yes a platonic meeting …and Shumpert and Rose were just friends.
However, fans were still calling BS – so we asked Iman in person when we spoke to him in New York City.
“We went to ‘College Hill’ [Celebrity Edition] together,” Shumpert explained. “Any other time you would have just let us eat, but I understand.”
When we followed up and specified that there was nothing “romantic” going on… Shumpert didn’t flinch.
“No, those are my peoples.”
Even if he was in a relationship with Rose, he has the right to do that… remember, the 34-year-old shooting guard split by Teyana Taylor last year, making him an eligible bachelor.
But it looks like the NBA champion is focused on business, telling us that his new seven-part series called “Taking One for the Team” will drop on October 16.
“Bingewatch the whole thing!”
We also asked about his fellow NBA baller Dwight Howard‘s appearance on “Dancing With The Stars” … and he gives some advice to the big man.
And DH12 can listen better… Shump won the whole thing for 2021!!
