Tristan Thompson

Tristan Thompson's career is defined by his role as a relentless rebounder and defender on a championship team. He was a key piece of the 2016 Cavaliers, the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 Finals deficit. His durability is notable: he played 804 regular-season games, ranking among the top active players in offensive rebound percentage during his prime. Thompson also represented Canada internationally, earning a bronze medal at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship. In retirement, he has become a respected voice on financial literacy for athletes, a transition that few former players make as seamlessly.
