The Cavaliers have made a big deal about getting behind the Indians in their pursuit of turning Cleveland into a two-title town. Well, all but one. 

Chicago native Iman Shumpert posted a photo on Twitter of himself wearing a Cubs hat at Game 2 while all his teammates pulled for the Indians. 

But is Shumpert really a Cubs fan? Only a month ago he pledged allegiance to the White Sox.

And again in 2011. 

LeBron already said he’s still a Yankees fan even though he’s rooting for the Indians, so now the Cavs have bandwagoners on both sides.
