James Harden warns Tristan Thompson: Khloe is just a distraction

Tristan Thompson and James Harden

Earlier fans warned Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Tristan Thompson not to take his relationship with Khloe Kardashian seriously.

Now, Khloe's ex James Harden has sent out another strong warning that she's a huge ‘distraction'.

"Khloe was a good woman but she was also a curse. She was a huge distraction to James. It's was always lights, camera, action with her and being on social media like it was a real 9 to 5. James was so caught up in her world that his game took a back seat and his performance on the court wasn't up to par," a source close to Harden was quoted as saying by HollywoodLife.com.
