Through Thick and Thin, Tristan Thompson Has Been the Wine & Gold's Rock
Tristan Thompson is still a young man; he doesn’t turn 30 until next March. But in nine seasons with the Wine and Gold, he might be able to see he’s seen it all.
His rookie season was shortened to 66 games by the NBA lockout; his most recent season was shortened to 57 games by the COVID crisis. He’s been a cellar-dweller and an NBA Champion. He’s been a tabloid star. He’s started 429 games and has come off the bench for 190. He’s been both jeered and cheered playing against his hometown team.
