Listen: Shumpert hints at national anthem protest on new rap track
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
Iman Shumpert may be following Colin Kaeperback's lead by taking a knee during "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard dropped a new track Friday called "His Story" that includes the line, "you best believe I'm going to take me a knee for the anthem."
Several NBA stars have already thrown their support behind the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, including Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Jabari Parker.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Victor Oladipo also said in a recent interview that he expects many NBA players to join the protests in the upcoming season.
