Iman Shumpert spent his childhood with three brothers in Chicago, the son of Odis, who works as an insurance broker, and L’Tanya, a professor of art and design at Columbia College. He started playing basketball while attending Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School in Oak Park, Illinois.

Furthermore, he was one of the top 30 senior players, ranked as No. 15 by Scout.com and No. 26 by Rivals.com.
After high school, Iman enrolled at Georgia Tech University, where he continued to develop his basketball skills. However, in his second year of studies, Iman tore the meniscus in his left knee, and underwent surgery which kept him off the team for six games. During the 2010-2011 season, Shumpert was the best player on his team, averaging 17.3 points per game, and was also the leader in assists and rebounds.
