Thompson mentions there was also no shame in his cheating game as “he knew there were paparazzi taking pics of him in New York City, but that didn’t stop him from taking a woman back to his hotel.” The sources added that “He actually told Khloe he was relieved that it had come out, and that he thinks subconsciously he wanted to get caught.”

According to the source, Thompson supposedly felt “pressured” because women are “constantly throwing themselves at him” and “it’s the unspoken rule in the NBA that players hook-up with groupies on the road.”
