Image via:Khloé Kardashian has revealed why she has chosen to become the primary caretaker for Amari Thompson , the younger brother of her ex, NBA star Tristan Thompson . Despite no longer being romantically involved with Tristan, Khloé emphasized that her commitment to Amari stems from love, loyalty, and a sense of responsibility. Amari Thompson, 18, suffers from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy. He is non-verbal and requires full-time care due to his condition. Following the sudden death of Tristan and Amari's mother, Andrea Thompson, in January 2023, Khloé Kardashian stepped in to support the family, bringing Amari back to Los Angeles where he now resides with her. 'Tristan is in the NBA, and he is in a different state every few days,' Khloé explained on the July 30 episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land. 'It's just not conducive for Amari to be on that many planes… He has a handful of seizures a day. So Amari stays in LA with me, and I have chosen to take care of him.'

While some questioned why she'd assume this responsibility given her split from Tristan Thompson, Khloé said her bond with Andrea played a major role. 'Andrea and I became such good friends. I helped her with Amari's medical care. Me being in a relationship or not with Tristan has nothing to do with my commitment to Andrea or Amari.' Khloé Kardashian credits her two caretakers who assist with Amari Thompson and emphasizes their shared goal: 'We just want to provide Amari with the best, most beautiful life that we know how. And he deserves that.' Amari's presence in their lives continues to be cherished. In April, Khloé and Tristan Thompson celebrated his 18th birthday, a moment that featured on The Kardashians. 'Amari is one of the most special souls I have ever met,' Khloé said in a confessional. She's also shown her support at Amari's dance recital, sharing heartwarming photos with him and her mother Kris Jenner on Instagram. 'I love you so much mommy,' Khloé Kardashian captioned one photo. 'Thank you for always supporting ALL of us always.'

NBA Analyst's Blockbuster Proposal Lands Warriors $82 Million Former Cavaliers Champion as Kevon Looney's Replacement

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly exploring the idea of signing veteran big man and former NBA champion Tristan Thompson as they seek to fill the void left by Kevon Looney's recent departure. According to a report by Dean Simon, the franchise could be considering Thompson as a backup option to bolster their frontcourt depth for the upcoming 2025–26 season. Golden State Warriors Yet to Make a Move in Free Agency As of now, the Golden State Warriors have not made any official moves in free agency. However, the team is expected to strengthen their rotation at center following the exit of longtime fan favorite Kevon Looney, who signed with the New Orleans Pelicans earlier this offseason. Looney, a key part of Golden State's championship core, leaves behind a gap in rebounding and defensive consistency that the team is eager to address. Al Horford Remains a Top Target Al Horford (Image via Getty) Golden State has expressed interest in acquiring 5-time All-Star and seasoned veteran Al Horford . The 38-year-old brings a wealth of experience and leadership, but any potential deal has reportedly been delayed due to ongoing negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. The Golden State Warriors' front office, led by general manager Mike Dunleavy, appears to be exercising patience as they navigate their roster puzzle. Tristan Thompson Emerges as a Veteran Backup Option With no guarantees on Horford's arrival and Kuminga's situation still unresolved, the Warriors are now eyeing an insurance policy at the center spot. Tristan Thompson, a 2016 NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers and a familiar Finals rival to the Golden State Warriors, could be a sensible short-term solution. Despite being 34 years old and well past his prime, Thompson still brings one standout skill that could be of use: offensive rebounding. Tristan Thompson's Career Stats Category Career Average Points per Game 8.3 Rebounds per Game 7.8 Offensive Rebounds 3.1 Height 6-foot-9 Seasons Played 13 In limited minutes last season with the Cavaliers, Tristan Thompson averaged 1.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in just 8.2 minutes per game. Though his role was minimal, his efficiency on the boards remained notable. Finals History with Golden State One factor that may work in Thompson's favor is his familiarity with the Warriors' system—albeit as an opponent. During the four consecutive NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cavaliers from 2015 to 2018, Thompson was a key contributor for Cleveland. He averaged 8.6 rebounds over 22 Finals games and played an integral role in Cleveland's historic 2016 championship victory over Golden State. Concerns and Considerations While Tristan Thompson's mobility and athleticism have declined, his veteran presence and rebounding instincts could still make him valuable in a limited role off the bench. Golden State may be willing to overlook his physical decline in favor of experience, locker room presence, and familiarity with postseason intensity. As Dean Simon noted, 'The 34-year-old frontcourt force's experience as one of the best offensive rebounders in the entire NBA could serve the Warriors well in a limited role.' If the Golden State Warriors proceed with signing Thompson, it would likely be on a short-term, veteran minimum deal to add depth and leadership to a team that still believes it can compete in the Western Conference. Whether or not Horford signs, Thompson could offer a safety net at the five—particularly in situations requiring toughness and playoff experience.

Khloe Kardashian slammed for latest selfie just days after vowing to steer away from Photoshop
Khloe Kardashian has been slammed for her latest selfie just days after vowing to steer away from Photoshop. The 41-year-old appears to be in hot water with fans once again after stirring up a new controversy with her latest Instagram upload. The reality star recently spoke on an episode of her new podcast, Khloe in Wonderland, about her past obsession with editing her photos. She denied that she manipulates every picture but did candidly refer to her frequent use of photo-editing apps as 'humiliating.' 'There was a time that I definitely did. There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to,' Khloe said. 'I also think it was the era too. I felt like a lot of people were photoshopping, or heavily photoshopping, more than they do now. 'I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter.' She went on to say that she realizes now that her heavily-edited photos looked like 'cartoons.' 'I really had to reprogram my mind to be like, "Okay, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real. That's not how I look and I don't want to look like that." 'It was a strange time,' the star said. But despite the seemingly honest reflection, some fans have pointed out that her latest Instagram post appears to be at odds with her sentiments. On Monday, Khloe uploaded selfies alongside two-year-old son Tatum, who she shares with Tristan Thompson. The duo gazed towards the camera before the mom-of-two captioned the snaps: 'Me and my forever.' But it did not take long for followers to speculate that those images were also heavily edited. 'Didn't she just make a statement saying she no longer uses photoshop?!?!?' one Reddit user commented under a grab of Khloe's Instagram post. 'In her head she must have rationalized that filters are not the same as FaceTune/Photoshop. Because otherwise what the hell was the point of that lie?!' another chimed in. 'I think she edited his face too,' another speculated. 'A completely different person in her face tuned pics versus in real life,' one user commented. Some fans went as far as to question the implications of Khloe's apparent continued use of filters, Photoshop, and other photo-editing platforms. 'The day will come (if it hasn't already) where the kids will ask why her photos look different to what they see in real life,' one user said.

Khloé Kardashian makes shock Photoshop admission after she's accused of altering ALL of her images
Khloé Kardashian says that she's no longer utilizing the Photoshop app to doctor her images. The reality star, 41, on her podcast Khloé in Wonderland Wednesday, responded to a remark from a fan who wrote to her, 'You Photoshop every picture you post.' Khloé, who faced a controversy over Photoshop less than three months ago, said that the accusation at one time would have been accurate - but no longer is. 'I think there was a time we were all consumed by this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter,' said the Los Angeles native, who has more than 302 million followers on Instagram alone. Khloé pointed out that the mode of technology she's using via her podcast limits her ability to alter her image, even if she wants to. Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Khloe for further comment on the story. Khloé, the youngest of the three Kardashian sisters, is mother to daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, two, with her ex-boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson, 34. 'I mean, there's definitely days where it's like, "Ugh, I need a filter, I don't feel good about myself" - but, I'm on video,' Khloé said. Khloé said that she's generally more comfortable with streaming than still photos. 'I do like myself better on video than stills,' Khloé said. 'I don't think I'm the most photogenic but I'll take 500 photos to get the one that I like.' Khloé added, 'That's OK, I'm allowed to do that.' Khloé said in hindsight that she felt she looked 'like a cartoon character' in some of the images that had been edited. 'It's humiliating that I even thought that was a version of myself,' Khloé said. Khloé explained how she's reframed the discussion mentally, to no longer use filters on her social media posts. 'I really had to reprogram my mind, like, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real, that's not how I look, and I don't want to look like that - but currently now, no.' A number of fans watching the podcast on an Instagram stream said that they believe Khloé is still using filters or comparable technology to streamline her appearance, Page Six reported Wednesday. Said one fan: 'This damn video has a filter. What are we even talking about?' Another added, 'Sitting up there just delusional with a filter on the video chileeeeee smh.' One fan noted, 'Why are you still lying Khloè it's okay, we know you still do.' In reference to Khloé's claim of leaving Photoshop in the past, a user said 'and by past, she means yesterday.' The topic came up on an episode Khloé dedicated to debunking falsehoods from the 'long, long list' of rumors about her and her famous family. 'So we had the team Google some rumors, what they've heard about me or my family, and I haven't read them yet,' Khloé explained. She vowed to read the rumors 'and chat about them - give my insight.' Khloé said she wasn't quite clear about how and why some of the more bizarre rumors got started or spread. 'I don't know if people feel like they have to top these rumors - because some of these rumors are crazy,' said Khloé. 'There was something from many years ago about, like, how we abducted raccoons or something - it was like this whole thing; it was bizarre.'

Tristan Thompson's AI tool puts NBA fans in the front office
Tristan Thompson's AI tool puts NBA fans in the front office originally appeared on TheStreet. NBA champion and ESPN analyst Tristan Thompson is betting big on AI—and he's starting with basketball. In a recent episode of TheStreet Roundtable, Thompson unveiled TracyAI, a new AI-powered platform aimed at democratizing the kind of elite analytics typically reserved for NBA front offices. Thompson compares traditional analytics to ingredients in a recipe: 'Analytics is just numbers, right? It's like making a lasagna, right? Analytics is just the beef, but you gotta get the pasta, you gotta get the stew, you gotta get the sauce.' His goal with Tracy is to bring all those layers together, transforming raw data into meaningful insights. While many fans rely on basic stats from ESPN or Thompson wants to offer the same high-level analytics used by NBA franchises. 'Every NBA team has (access to) high level analytics that you have to be an official professional team to have,' he explained. 'But I was able to pull these APIs and put it into an AI agent.'While sports have lagged behind sectors like retail, music, and hiring in AI adoption, Thompson says live sports—particularly the NBA—are ripe for transformation. 'When guys are talking about, you know, who's the best player or who's the best player in the fourth quarter, most people just go off a field goal percentage in the fourth quarter,' he explained. The data NBA teams have access to go much deeper than overall shooting percentage though, 'When Anthony Edwards goes left, he finishes at the rim, he finishes 65% of the time. When Anthony Edwards is driving right, he finishes about 40% of the time,' Thompson said. For Thompson, it's about changing how people watch the game. 'Having those analytics and that information can change a whole perspective of how you view the game,' he noted. With Tracy, fans might soon see basketball with a front office lens.
