Mychal Thompson

The Golden State Warriors camp continues to direct a string of pointed comments at LeBron James, with former NBA player Mychal Thompson joining the fray.

Thompson, father of Klay, called out James for being overly sensitive to trash talk and called him “entitled,” saying that he never would have survived in the NBA of the 1980s.

Klay not the only Thompson going in on LeBron. Mychal on radio on complaining: "Are we now this PC that we can't trash talk on the court?"

Mychal Thompson: "Are you freaking kidding me? Who complains to the media about being called a name?"

— Diamond Leung (@diamond83) June 13, 2016

Mychal Thompson: "We all respect LeBron's ability..but man sometimes he acts too entitled like he's supposed to get everything he wants."

— Diamond Leung (@diamond83) June 13, 2016

Mychal "I cannot believe..what we're facing tonight bc a player complained ab being called a certain word that rhymes w witch on the court."

— Diamond Leung (@diamond83) June 13, 2016

Mychal Thompson: "LeBron (James) couldn't have survived in the 80s with the physicality and the words guys said to each other back then."

— Diamond Leung (@diamond83) June 13, 2016

Mychal Thompson isn’t speaking on behalf of his son or the Warriors at large, but you can bet that most of them would agree with his comments. They feel that the Draymond Green suspension was extremely unjust, and Klay Thompson himself accused James of being too sensitive. Don’t be surprised if Game 5 is played with a bit of an edge to it.
