The war of words continues to escalate between the Warriors and LeBron James. Families are getting involved.
On Sunday, Klay Thompson had an issue with LeBron complaining about trash talking.
“I mean, guys talk trash in this league all the time. I’m just kind of shocked some guys take it so personal (laughing). It’s like, I mean, you know, it’s a man’s league and I’ve heard a lot of bad things on that court, but at the end of the day it stays on the court,” Thompson said at the podium.
His father, Lakers legend Mychal Thompson, doubled-down on his ESPN 710 radio show in Los Angeles Monday morning. The always quick Diamond Leung (a must follow on Twitter) of the Bay Area News Group has the quotes. And they are gems.
Klay not the only Thompson going in on LeBron. Mychal on radio on complaining: "Are we now this PC that we can't trash talk on the court?"
