I loved the play vs Nuggets, I think it was, where Giles picked up a foul underneath the hoop and hung his head. You could see he was getting demoralized and frustrated because of his lack of impact and scoring. As soon as Giles makes the sad face and drops his head you see Iman swoop in and grab him by the chest. He immediately starts encouraging him and telling him that’s it’s alright, just another play. Giles picked his head right up after that pep talk. You could see that had Iman not been in the game Giles would have continued to have a bad game and get benched demoralized.
I’ll try to find that video and post it on the sub. It was very heartwarming and what sports teammates is all about.

Please post it if you can find it. These are important moments and prove that character matters.

I noticed that too and it absolutely makes up for the fact he’s wearing a blazer and sweatpants in this video.

Been a great player on court also. Our best defender and his offense not the cancer I saw in the 2017 finals.

I'm not totally in love with his shot selection so far but he's hitting it for now lol. Still extremely happy to have him. You see him constantly communicating with the young guys anytime they make a mistake. He was in Harry's ear all last night just keeping his spirits up. Shumpgod has been a welcome addition.

Yup I remember him shooting a three and it missed as expected. The next time he shot it I was like "Nooo Iman stop" and it went in.

I was wrong in lambasting Iman. He really brings a positive attitude and veteran presence. His on court presence is also really good as he is basically our only worth a damn SF until Bogi comes back.

I was very wrong about him and what he’d bring to the team. He seems like such a great locker room presence.
