Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world where a group of talented athletes compete for the ultimate crown of being the best in the world. It takes a lot of hard work, devotion, and sacrifice to become a professional NBA player, which is why they receive mind-blowing salaries allowing them to have a lavish lifestyle.
However, beneath all the talent, fame, sports cars, and huge mansions, NBA stars are just like regular people. This means that they too make mistakes and their life is not a fairytale-like most people imagine.
It is in our human nature to be attracted to other people, which can turn out to be a problem for married NBA players. Just like normal people, (if not more) NBA players are caught having affairs outside the marriage.
This can lead to divorce and possibly impact their professional career. With that said, let’s take a look at some of the NBA players who were caught cheating.
Tristan Thompson
Tristian Thompson has made a name for himself in the NBA league of his steady defense and rebounding which often helped Cleveland to climb out of a sticky 1-3 situation. He currently plays for the Boston Celtics which is the only two teams he ever played for.
On the other hand, his personal life was a really big distraction off of the court a few years ago. It seems like he changed women more than he changed his team jersey.
Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian while she was pregnant with their daughter. However, this wasn’t the first time that he’s done something like this. Thompson hooked up with Khloe Kardashian when his girlfriend Jordan Craig was pregnant.
It seems like a leopard cannot change its spots, and the same thing goes for Tristan Thompson.
Paul George
The 31-year-old NBA player has a rather interesting story to tell both for his personal life and career. He currently plays for the Los Angeles Clippers and never achieved his dream of playing for the Los Angeles Lakers as he was transferred to Oklahoma City Thunder back from 2017-2019 just when he was about to sign with the Lakers.
When it comes to his personal life, he was once married to Rivers’ daughter, Callie, which ended up shortly after she found out that Paul cheated on her with a stripper at a yacht party. It seems like Callie wouldn’t have found out about this incident if the stripper wouldn’t have gotten pregnant. George allegedly tried to cover up his tracks by offering $1 million, but it seems like they never made an agreement.
Paul George currently has a chance to win the first NBA Championship of his career with the Clippers being in the Conference Semifinal against Utah Jazz. Don’t be surprised to see his name popping up on the NBA trade rumors after his impressive season: https://edge.twinspires.com/nba/trade-rumors/
Lamar Odom
It seems like the Kardashians have a thing for NBA players, even though most of their relationships end up in the same way. Here we have another Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom who were married for almost seven years.
He was at a peak in his career winning back-to-back championships with the Lakers back in 2009 and 2010. His life took a different turn after developing a drug habit, and affairs with other women.
Khloe hired a private investigator which found out that Lamar was cheating on her with five different women.
Nick Young
The Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young has an impressive career playing for Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors, and Denver Nuggets. He was one of the trending topics after announcing their relationships with the Australian singer Iggy Azalea, but things ended up fairly quick.
Iggy claims that she broke up with him just because Nick brought other women into their home while she was away. She found out about this after reviewing the security camera footage.
Tony Parker
Tony Parker was one of the best professional NBA players a decade ago playing for San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Hornets. He was married to the famous actress Eva Longoria which didn’t end up very well.
She filed for divorce after finding sexy texts between Parker and his teammate Brent Barry’s wife, Erin Barry. She denied such accusations, but eventually ended her marriage very quickly after Parker and Longoria got divorced.
