<p>While <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/636005-tristan-thompson-provides-sobering-update-on-lonzo-balls-injury" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tristan Thompson might not be in the league anymore</a>, there is no doubt that he is an accomplished man. Overall, he finished his career with one NBA title, and it was a historic one. Thompson was on that 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers team that finally brought a championship to Ohio. Moreover, it was the series where the Cavs came back from down 3-1 to defeat the 73-9 Golden State Warriors. Needless to say, Thompson has every right to that talk once and a while, even if he wasn&#8217;t a star player on the team.</p>



<p>Recently, Thompson&#8217;s most prominent teammate from that squad, LeBron James, has been disparaged in the media. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/95160-james-harden-and-mario-chalmers-involved-in-on-court-scuffle-twitter-reacts-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">This is because of former Miami Heat star Mario Chalmers</a>, who claims LeBron was never feared. These are some interesting comments especially since James is the best player Chalmers ever played with. Furthermore, he helped Chalmers win an NBA title. While speaking on Draymond Green&#8217;s podcast, Tristan Thompson hammered these points home. </p>

<p>“That shit pissed me off, man,” Thompson said. “How can you say that about a guy you went to war with, who believed in you; and you’re going to come and say ‘No one fears LeBron?’ This is the best player you’ve ever been on the court with&#8230; Guys be on some sucker shit. I don’t like that kind of stuff. Thompson also claimed that Chalmers probably asked LeBron for a spot on a roster and was told &#8220;no.&#8221; While Thompson doesn&#8217;t know this for sure, he is uncertain as to why anyone would make these comments about a former teammate. It is a good question to ask, and we are all trying to figure that out.</p>



<p>No matter what, nothing can touch or alter LeBron&#8217;s legacy at this point. With everything that he has done, he is cemented in NBA history. However, it is good to see guys like Tristan Thompson going to bat for him. Hopefully, this continues to be the case for James, moving forward.
