Tristan Thompson takes Larry O'Brien Trophy to Tim Hortons
Tristan Thompson is one proud Canuck.
The Cleveland Cavaliers big man has been touring the Greater Toronto Area with the Larry O'Brien Trophy, and made a stop Friday at the most Canadian establishment there is.
Thompson brought the hardware to Tim Hortons, a la Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby, who took the Stanley Cup to a Timmy's in Halifax, Nova Scotia last month.
