Just like last year, the Cleveland Cavaliers are fining players $100 each time they bite on DeMar DeRozan‘s pump fake.
In a story by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Tristan Thompson delivered one of the realest quotes of the postseason.
“I’m not trying to give up that money. I just had a kid, so I’m just trying to save up for their college tuition,” Thompson joked.
With LeBron James having a rare off night, the Cavs were headed for a moral victory. They ended up with a real one https://t.co/9e6y01Yaxi

[Thompson] didn’t bite on pump fakes that DeRozan tried to throw at him. The Cavs have a standing $100 fine for falling for DeRozan’s trap, and Thompson didn’t want to pay.
“I’m not trying to give up that money,” Thompson said. “I just had a kid, so I’m just trying to save up for their college tuition.”
