MANILA, Philippines – Not even NBA champions are immune to Pokemon Go.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert was also sucked into the Pokemon Go craze when he endeavored to capture Staryu, a water pokemon, before getting in some yoga in Miami Beach at 7 am on Friday, September 16.
Teammate Kyrie Irving, one of the heroes in the Cavs' NBA title run last June, incredulously documented Shumpert's undertaking.When it's #2KDay, but you still gotta catch 'em all...😂 (via @KyrieIrving) pic.twitter.com/ZUZrsgYSnS— NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) September 16, 2016
"Shump! Give it a break!" Irving implored his teammate.
"There's a Staryu. There's a Staryu right here," responded Shumpert, who showed his smartphone to Irving and proceeded to catching the pokemon with a curve ball.
Unfortunately it broke free from the pokeball.
Perhaps Irving can get an update when Shumpert evolves it into Starmie?
The Cavs will defend their first-ever championship when the new NBA season begins late October.
