New York Knicks star thanks Taiwan for warm welcome
2013/07/24 20:33:53

Taipei, July 24 (CNA) Visiting New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert thanked
the Taiwanese people Wednesday for their warm welcome during his stay and
said he is very likely to come back to the country.

"This is my last day here. I had a load of fun. I've met a lot of different
fans… I feel like I've made some great connections. I can almost guarantee
you I'll be back," Shumpert said at an event in Taipei, where he met with
fans and signed autographs.

Shumpert, who arrived in Taiwan on July 22, will leave for New York on
Thursday. After that, he said, he will head to Florida for some rigorous
workouts before the start of the Knicks training camp.

The previous day, he spoke at his local sponsor's Taipei office and attended
a charity event, at which he urged the public to donate blood.

Shumpert said that having grown up in Chicago, he was inspired by Michael
Jordan, his favorite basketball player.

"He's the greatest competitor I ever saw in my life," Shumpert said. Seeing
Jordan win many championships "really helped me develop a hunger to want to
win," he added.

Shumpert said he thinks Miami Heat's LeBron James is the best defender "just
because LeBron can guard any position."

Budding writer Esther Tseng, 21, who attended the autograph session, said
Shumpert is one of her favorite basketball players because "he is a rare
defender."

Tseng gave Shumpert a copy of her Chinese-language fantasy novel about the
Knicks.

"It's a souvenir for him to remember Taiwan," she said.
