Question CAVs: Is Tristan Thompson considered an All-Time Great by fanbase?
  • Draft: Cleveland Cavaliers, 1st round (4th pick, 4th overall), 2011 NBA Draft
  • 2016 NBA Champ
  • 11 years a CAV



The Kardashians and bad boy image aside, is he considered like an all-time CAVs team member?

Asking for a friend, Thanks in advance.

If you're asking whether or not he's getting his jersey retired the answer is no.

No

And that’s not an insult. The Cavs have a way more impressive history than people realize

All time great is aggressive…

I also didn’t realize he has a bad boy image… is that just because he really likes sex and cheats a lot?

Because it’s not an on the court thing

I've literally never heard anyone say that.

Maybe that's what the Kardashian people say about him? Like the middle aged wine moms?

Yeah I’ve never heard it either outside of reality TV

TT is not considered an all time great.....


but he does fall into the category of memorable role players. The Cavs all time great look something like:

LeBron James
Mark Price
Kyrie Irving
Brad Daughtery
Kevin Love
Larry Nance
Austin Carr
Zyldrunas Ilgausakas

Their entire big 4 right now has a chance to join that circle, depending on how long they stay and how high they peak.

Tristan Thompson is just a less like able Anderson Varejao

And that’s OK

Might have to slide TB onto this list. Supremely underrated for 6 years

I’m partial to Hot Rod

The point is valid. Thompson is a Top 20 Cav of all time depending on how you rank the current dudes

That’s not an all time great though

He's Top 5 in games and blocks and top 3 in rebounds.

I don't know about all-time great but that's at least team legend status for a judge on a random contest during a regular season game.

He played 227 games in Cleveland

You can do the math on dividing that by 82

Why not include JR Smith then? Maybe Dellevadova? İman Shumpert still around?

Rhetorical

Shouldn't you need to make an All-star team or better at least 3rd team All NBA to be an All-time Great? We shouldn't be giving out participation trophies for being on the team.

"We" shouldn't be assuming either.
