Thompson last played for the Chicago Bulls in 2022.

He’s also had spells at the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers in the second half of his career.

But most of his career was spent with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Thompson was the fourth overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.

He was named to the All-Rookie Second Team in 2012.

And his career went to the next level when LeBron James rejoined the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014.

The Cavs built a ‘super team’ with the likes of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love also on board.

And Thompson was a key member of the side that captured the 2016 NBA Championship.

It was the first title in Cleveland Cavaliers history having won two conference titles previously.

And Thompson was part of the historic team that brought glory to the starved fans in Ohio.
