Cavs' Shumpert mocks himself after epic crossover failure (VIDEO)
Athletes tend to be very hard on themselves and Sunday was no exception for Iman Shumpert.
In his second game back from injury, the Cavaliers guard attempted a crossover against Thunder forward Serge Ibaka but failed miserably, leading to a moment of self deprecation via social media.
Shump took to Twitter to mock himself and also praised Ibaka for forcing his miscue, although we're not really sure why:
In my mind this move was going to be so much smoother. Damnit Surge!!! https://t.co/LY2YJPEz3t

Of course these things happen to everyone, and considering Shumpert was sidelined for nearly a month with a shoulder injury, we'll chalk this one up to plain old rust.
It's good to see Shump show some humillity and have fun with the situation -- plus the miscue didn't have much an impact on the game. The Cavaliers went on to convincingly beat the Thunder 108-98 for their sixth straight win.
