Iman decided to forego his final year of college and became part of the NBA draft in 2011. He was drafted by the New York Knicks. However, his first year with them was disrupted because of a severe knee injury which led to his ACL being torn and him missing the rest of the season. This was a recurring injury as Iman had faced a similar knee injury when he was playing in college too.

Regardless of this setback, Iman was still able to finish in the 5^th position for the 2012 NBA Rookie of the Year. In 2015, Iman would be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers making his debut in a game against the Charlotte Hornets. That year the Cavaliers were able to make it to the finals but would lose out to the Golden State Warriors. After his impressive performance for the Cavaliers, they decided to sign him for a $40 million contract spread over four years.

Though there were some injuries he faced that season as well, he was still able to perform well and was part of the team that won the NBA Championship in 2016. His team was able to beat the Golden State Warriors after going down 3-1 in the finals. They became the first team in NBA history to win after coming from such odds. Two years later, Iman became part of the Sacramento Kings in a trade. Since then, he has also played for the Houston Rockets and the Brooklyn Nets.
