VIDEO: Cavs' Shumpert slithers past Barbosa, misses easy layup

Uncontested shots have been an issue for Iman Shumpert in the NBA Finals.

Shumpert entered Sunday's Game 5 shooting just 5-of-15 on uncontested shots and he added to that tally with a point-blank miss. Shumpert shed Leandro Barbosa with a slick spin-move before completely shanking an open layup.

Best move into a blown layup I've seen in a while.

For what it's worth, Shumpert is battling a shoulder injury that has dogged him for most of the Finals. But there's no excuse for missing a wide-open layup.
