Iman Shumpert is a busy man right now. He's actually been busy for weeks as the Cavaliers have been making their playoff push towards the 2015 NBA Finals. But he took some time out of his schedule recently to record a rap over the ESPN First Take beat, and it was used during the opening of the show today in place of the usual song featuring Wale and Stalley. Shumpert also recorded a short video segment for the show.

You'd think that would make Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless thrilled, right? Of course. But while Skip showed Shump love for dropping a few bars, Stephen A.'s official review of the First Take remix was..."He was aight."

"He was aight"? So disrespectful.

Fortunately, Lil B was a big fan:

Check out Shump's song in the video above. Not bad for a guy who has a million and one other things going on at the moment.
