Entrepreneur and “The Kardashians” star Kris Jenner revealed on a latest episode of the family’s Hulu show that in January, she stepped in to assist former NBA player Tristan Thompson get a job at ESPN — by contacting the network herself.
“I used to be in a position to reach out to ABC/Disney and really express how talented I believed Tristan was,” Jenner said in the course of the episode. “And the way they’d really profit from him being an element of the ESPN team.”
Thompson made several appearances on “NBA Today” and “First Take” on the sports network earlier this yr.

Thompson eventually put the media gig to the side after rejoining the Los Angeles Lakers for the playoffs last season, which led to a latest contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2023-2024 season.
“All the pieces’s been great. You understand, ESPN, obviously, I appreciate you, helping make this all occur,” Thompson told Jenner in the course of the show.
“It is a dream. The proven fact that we could have that decision on Friday and so they asked when you could start on Monday, that never happens to anyone,” Jenner told the NBA star.
