NBA star Tristan Thompson showed off a stunning body transformation.
Thompson shared his rigorous NBA workout routine with fans on social media.
The 33-year-old shared how he stays in shape with a series of videos on his Instagram Stories.
Included in his training were basketball exercises, weight training, and bodyweight training.
“Skip lunges,” he captioned one of the posts.
“Core strength training,” he captioned another post.
“Balance and strength training,” another was labeled.
Thompson previously described his hard work and training in a 2015 interview.
“It was a lot of work,” Thompson told Cleveland.com.
“I worked out daily. I did weight training every day and on the court in the morning and afternoon faithfully every day.
“I just wanted to keep defining my game and growing as a player to be ready.”
Thompson explained how his hard work culminated in performance on the court.
“This is what I worked for all summer,” he said.
“A lot of players, when they get to the NBA, they have to figure out what their niche is, and once you figure that out, it’s time to flourish.
“It’s like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. I’m going to keep developing my game.”
Thompson has been in the NBA a long time since that interview and has built a successful career.
What does the new TV deal mean for the NBA?
By US Sun Assistant Sports Editor Damian Burchardt.
The new television rights deal promises to be a big win for NBA players.
The league is expected to more than double revenue from its media partners, pocketing around $6.9 billion per year, which will inevitably lead to a huge salary cap increase in 2025-26.
This will cause the value of players’ contracts to skyrocket.
Projected numbers suggest we could see the first $100 million per year deal being signed soon.
Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum is currently set to earn the highest single-season salary in NBA history, bringing in $71.5 million in 2029-30.
It seems like basketball fans would be on the losing side of the fight if the NBA and TNT actually split.
Inside the NBA is a unique sports entertainment program, as evidenced by ESPN’s continued failure to create its own version of the show in recent years.
