In a post shared by @RealTristan13, Thompson wrote,
“Bitcoin represents financial freedom.”

The statement immediately stirred reactions across X, as users debated whether crypto is really the answer to long-term wealth.
Some users supported his stance. @quick1875 responded,
“100% buy now or regret later,” echoing the optimism of Bitcoin believers who view it as a modern form of economic empowerment.
But others were skeptical, with @ForgeOfAgents pointing out,
“Relying on one thing doesn’t give you financial freedom.”
In the end, whether you agree with him or not, Tristan Thompson has joined a new wave of athletes promoting financial independence—and this time, the discussion isn’t just about scoring points, it’s about owning your future.
LeBron James’ Warning To His Financial Advisor Shocks NBA Fans
LeBron James may be one of the most business-savvy athletes in the world, but even he knows how dangerous financial trust can be. A recent report from @LegionHoops revealed,
“LeBron says he warned his financial advisor about stealing from him.”
LeBron says he warned his financial advisor about stealing from him:
“The first thing I told him when he wanted to manage my money was if you steal my money, bro, or if I’m broke, bro, I’m letting you know, bro, it ain’t going to be good for you.”

That single line quickly spread across social media, with fans reacting to both the seriousness and the bluntness of the statement.
User @LONDO87540615 summed it up in one quote:
“‘I wish you would.’”
Meanwhile, @KevonLooneyMuse joked,
“Wow so he is threatening people now.”
Behind the memes, though, there’s a serious message. LeBron James has built his reputation not only as one of the best players ever, but also as a smart businessman who protects his assets fiercely. From investments in Blaze Pizza and SpringHill Entertainment to long-term brand deals, he’s proven how to turn NBA success into lifelong wealth.
LeBron’s warning shows how even the most successful athletes stay alert when it comes to money management. Many players in the past have lost fortunes through poor advice or betrayal, and LeBron clearly doesn’t plan to be one of them.
For NBA fans, the comment sparked conversation about trust and control in an industry where big money can bring bigger risks. Some found it funny, others saw wisdom in the message—but everyone agreed on one thing: LeBron James didn’t get this far by being careless.
Whether it’s on the court or in his finances, LeBron continues to set the tone for discipline, awareness, and accountability—a lesson younger players and fans alike can’t afford to ignore.
