6. Fans trying to get into Thompson’s head

You have to wonder what was going through the mind of Thompson, when fans were chanting “Khloe” while the Brampton native stepped up to the free-throw line.

Certainly not an easy position to be in, but nobody deserves the blame more than Thompson.

For those who may not have known, Thompson is dating reality T.V. star Khloe Kardashian and a video uploaded recently shows him cheating on her. This gave fans the fuel they needed to try and get him off his game.

The other issue with this is the fact Khloe appears to be ignoring the issue, after giving birth to Thompson’s child. Whether this continues going forward is anybody’s guess, but the longer it goes on it could start to get into the Canadian’s head.

We’ll leave the rest for TMZ to report from here.

Game 2 goes on Thursday, where we will have another edition of 6 Revelations and hopefully a bounce-back game from the Toronto Raptors to talk about.
