LeBron James is used to putting on a show in front of thousands of spectators. But this time, the Los Angeles Lakers star was made witness to a different kind of spectacle by his former teammate Iman Shumpert – and it wasn't on the basketball court.
Shumpert, a 10-year NBA veteran, flexed his versatile skill set by joining the latest iteration of Dancing with the Stars. He certainly didn't look like a rookie on the dance floor in his most recent performance. Check out Shump slay his routine alongside partner Daniella Karagach.

That's definitely some fancy footwork any basketball player could respect. LeBron is no stranger to the dance floor either. The Lakers star swapped his Nike sneakers for some dance shoes as he took on the role of Salsa King for one of his latest endorsements.

LeBron James and Iman Shumpert played four seasons together on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Shump was an integral 3-and-D role player on all four Cavs teams that went to the NBA Finals during LeBron's second run in Ohio.
The fact that Shumpert, who entered the league in 2011, is making celebrity appearances on Dancing with the Stars while James is leading the Lakers in the thick of another title run certainly speaks to LeBron's insane longevity.
