Finalists included JoJo Siwa, Iman Shumpert, Amanda Kloots and Cody Rigsby
Season 30 of “Dancing with the Stars” wrapped on Monday with a history-making moment.
Iman Shumpert took home the Mirrorball Trophy with his professional dance partner, Daniella Karagach. Shumpert’s victory marks the first time a basketball player has won the dance competition.
Host Tyra Banks awarded the 31-year-old NBA player the trophy after competing against finalists JoJo Siwa, Amanda Kloots, and Cody Rigsby. The Season 30 finale saw the dance pros and their celebrity partners break it down two more times, for a fusion dance and the fan-favorite freestyle.
Fitness guru Rigsby, 34, and partner Cheryl Burke also earned a perfect score for their freestyle, which was a medley of “Beethoven’s Fifth” and “Nail, Hair, Hips, Heels (Just Dance Version)” by Todrick Hall. Their paso doble and cha cha fusion dance to “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue only brought them a 36.
Lastly, Shumpert and Karagrach scored back-to-back perfect scores for a cha cha and foxtrot fusion dance to “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire and a freestyle to a medley of “Lose Control” by Missy Elliott featuring Ciara and Fat Man Scoop and “Bounce” by DJ Client.
“Dancing with the Stars” will kick off a winter tour in January, featuring alums like Kaitlyn Bristowe. Kloots and Jimmie Allen are expected to join some appearances. Bristowe and her pro Artem Chigvintsev took home the trophy in Season 29.
