Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach react to winning ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and also talk future plans in this new interview with ‘Extra’s’ Cheslie Kryst. The season finale of ‘DWTS’ aired Nov. 22 on ABC.
Okay I'm sold. He deserved this. Everyone talks about how Jojo created history for so many people but so did he! He is showing so many young boys who look up to him that they can express themselves in other ways! This is just so sweet.
I completely agree! There was even an episode when he thanked his parents for encouraging him to be more than an athlete! And that is such an important message for young men and especially BLACK young men!
Jojo was so good, but she had that dance experience. Iman didn’t and the fact that dani can help make this happen for Iman, EVEN with the height difference is amazing. This season has been such a good season, and I’m so happy with how it ended!
@@anniebanana3698 i didn't know who he was before dwts- i went back and rewatched all of his dance packages and i am a fan now! what a humble guy. they had the most challenges out of everybody and never complained once
Finally a winner that takes the show back to its roots. NO dance experience, but grew each week. Daniella is a visionary, and the trust and bond they created to bring us all of that amazing art💖💖💖
LIES! There was never a "no dance experience" rule in DWTS, a matter of fact season 1 and 2 winners were by experienced dancers, model Kelly Monaco (winner season 1) and singer and dancer Drew Lachey (winner season 2) from the boy band 98 Degrees. SO PLEASE STOP THE LIES just to excuse that Jojo was clearly robbed. BTW no disrespect to Iman that did a great job.
I couldn't agree more... I heard "Jojo and Jenna should have won" and my response is, "Iman learned how to dance, Jojo already knew how to dance"... Iman and Daniella brought something new to DWTS, something never seen before... Iman and Daniella definitely deserved to win!
OMG I just love him .. his whole demeanor within the entire competition was absolutely phenomenal .. he made dancing look so much fun and transformed into the little kid having fun .. his smile with every dance was incredible .. his dance partner is so talented .. the trust she had with him on those acrobatics made everything flow with ready .. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
This goes to show nothing is impossible for you to achieve. Well done Iman and Daniella, you dance your way to the top, and that trophy is well deserved.
I had no clue who this guy was before DWTS but he was a favorite of mine right from the start. I know alot of ppl were rooting for Jojo bit at the end of the day she is a trained dancer. Iman had no dance training what so ever. He killed it. This aas the most deserved win on DWTS in quite some time. Usually it ends up being a popularity contest and the winner is always well known. Also Daniella deserved the win as well. This was her 2nd season as a pro dancer. They both did AH-MAZING
~ So happy for Iman & Daniella. They represented what DWTS was originally about. ( Amanda, Cody & JoJo had prior dancing experience, unfair.) ... As it should be, Iman had no dancing experience, worked hard with his stellar partner, & become the winner. The 1st NBA player to do so... Iman has now won the Larry O'Brien Trophy & the Mirror Ball Trophy.🏆❤🏆 ..Congratulations to Iman... He & Daniella were the perfect match. 💕
Cody had prior dancing? I think he must have forgotten a lot of what he learned. I can't believe he made it to the finale above some of the other contestants. Is his Pelaton audience that big, because I had never heard of him before. Also, as a gay man saying this, I hate, HATED his freestyle. I was embarrassed!
@@kev7161 Surprisingly, yes. ( I've often wondered just how accurate the voting is for some dancers.) ...Cody is a former professional dancer & doesn't dance like it; interesting how they kept that part of his life quiet.
I remembered when they had to do the contemporary dance Iman asked her what’s that? That’s when I fell in love with him. They nailed the contemporary dance! So glad they won!
Iman you and your partner are incredible started watching this to see how you would do an found myself inspired by your hard work and humbleness congrats you both deserve this!
Iman is THE man. The audience fell in love with his beautiful soul. I only wish Teyana had done a special guest appearance and danced with him and Dani in a performance, they would've broken the internet for sure.
Congratulations Iman and Daniella you worked very hard, and YOU BOTH deserve this... Daniella you must really trust Iman, which says a lot about Iman! I was completely mesmerized by YOU BOTH!
I was only planning on watching DWTS for Disney week but ended up watching the rest of the season for them they were my favorites by far he just always looked so happy and had this passion in his eyes and Dani is amazing and has this beautiful elegance about herself they truly deserved the win 🏆 he showed the most improvement and passion and she really showcased her talents by choreographing such amazing dances
They makeme want to continue watching DWTS. When they had professional dancers like Amanda and Jojo I was saying why am I wasting my time with this but after this win I'm back watching!!
They really deserved this! Dani is always paired with the ballers and does magic with them finally she gets a much deserved acknowledgment for her talent!
@@rtmusicvideos431 last year she was with Nelly whom is a rapper. But yeah but still she was almost 2 feet shorter then him which was kinda trash. They had a big disadvantage
I’m so happy #Iman & #Daniella won. Their hard work and dedication paid off. They had the best #freestyle dance in all the 30 #DWTS seasons! 🎤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️
OMG!! Finally, Iman’s the first NBA player to win DWTS and 8th black dancer to win. This is also Daniella’s 1st win in only two seasons! She’s placed 3rd on her first season ✨🥇🏆 Emmett and Cheryl from season 3 Hines and Kym from season 12 Donald and Peta from season 14 Amber and Derek from season 17 Alfonso and Witney from season 19 Rashad and Emma from season 24 Jordan and Lindsay from season 25
I can't get this smile off my face. They deserved this win. They did things that I've never seen. All of the other pros need to step up their game, we've now saw what is possible.
Yes for real! I think since Dani is a bit more reserved and quiet, she couldn’t really insert herself in the conversation especially with how much the interviewer overlooked her
So well deserved. Instead of adding JoJo to the pro team, they added her to the other team. She's been a dancer since she was really young. I saw her on Dance Moms/Abby Lee Miller Dance School. She was an incredible dancer back then.
He is so proud of his coach He's proud of his win but he's really proud of his coach and I'm so happy for both of them congratulations guys You guys really deserve it 👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
He showed progress, but lets be honest it was clever choreography playing to his strengths and his fan support that got him to win. Props to Daniella for being smart and working towards his strengths!
YES!!!!!! I LOVE THEM, THEY WERE AWESOME!!!!! MY FAVORITE COUPLE!!!! AND THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE, THEY MADE IT LOOK SO EASY. DANIELLA AND IMAN ARE THE BOMB!!! "NO PITY WIN" HERE. THEY WORKED HARD!!!! FOR THESE MIRROR BALL TROPHIES. DANIELLA YOU ARE AN AMAZING!!!!! INSTRUCTOR AND IMAN YOU NEVER GAVE UP, EVEN WHEN THE JUDGES GAVE YOU LOW SCORES WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIGHER SCORES.

I liked him more and more each week. I'm glad it was a close 1st and 2nd place because both danced their butts off, but his personality was just a little more . . . something. Plus, he obviously appealed to a lot of different viewing groups.
Iman a pure gentleman the best dancer in 20 Years.Daniella and and Janna is also the best pro. Dancers in 20 years. Second place for Janna and Jo Jo is great tough competition. Love both couples great job.
I really love Dancing With the Stars. Anything with Janet Jackson, am in. Tyra Banks, were a perfect Janet Jackson. I was waiting for a Motown Night. CONGRATULATIONS, TO EVERYONE!
