After weeks of harsh critique, and tons of sweat, tears, determination, and hard work, Iman Shumpert has been crowned the winner of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ on the season 30 finale on Monday night.
The NBA star, was awarded the Mirrorball Trophy by host Tyra Banks after battling on the ballroom floor against fellow finalists Amanda Kloots, Cody Rigsby, and JoJo Siwa.
The celebrities and their pro partners each performed two routines during the show, including a fusion dance and a freestyle.
Iman and his partner Daniella Karagach performed a cha cha and foxtrot fusion dance to “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, which earned a perfect 40 out of 40. The pair returned later in the evening with a freestyle to a medley of “Lose Control” by Missy Elliott featuring Ciara and Fat Man Scoop and “Bounce” by DJ Client for yet another 40 out of 40.
Their final judges scores combined with scores from viewers voting online and by text landed them in the top 2 spots, along with Siwa, who many presumed would be the winner of the night.
He has made history as the first basketball player to ever win the show. Get into his final dances and the big win below.
