Drama on and off the court. LeBron James and Tristan Thompson appeared to get heated while their NBA teams faced off against each other on Tuesday, January 4.The 37-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star sped to the basket in the final moments of the game, sending his team to a 118-112 lead over the Sacramento Kings.

After the major play, James was seen making his way to the Kings’ bench and appeared to taunt the 30-year-old Canada native, who did not get to play on Tuesday.“I’m a motherf–king problem, bitch,” the two-time Olympic gold medalist shouted, according to a clip shared via social media.As James taunted his opponents, an announcer said, “He’s talking to Tristan Thompson, his former teammate.”The video later panned to show Thompson frowning from his seat on the bench. (The athletes were on the Cleveland Cavaliers together from 2014 to 2018, when James moved on to the California team.)The Space Jam 2 star’s victory celebration comes amid Thompson’s struggles in his personal life, which came to a head on Monday, January 3, as he confirmed he fathered a child with Maralee Nichols before he split from Khloé Kardashian in June 2021. (He previously confessed to having sex with the fitness model several times in court docs obtained by Us Weekly.)“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols.

I take full responsibility for my actions,” the athlete wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday. “Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son.”Thompson went on to address Kardashian, 37, in a second post. “Khloé, you don’t deserve this.

You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years.
