Lamar Odom to Tristan Thompson

Lamar Odom said his online conversation with Tristan Thompson about ex-mutual Khloe Kardashian could have “turned really ugly.”

Talk to TMZ, the former NBA star said things could have gone in a very bad direction had he chosen to fight back hard.

“He doesn’t really know me,” he told the outlet.

“What did Jesus say, ‘God forgive these for what they don’t know,’ then he doesn’t really know me, because it could have gotten really ugly.”

The reason he kept his cool was that the Boston Celtics star “is a black man, he’s in the NBA, just like the fraternity brethren, at the end of the day.”

“I’ll leave him there. He made a mistake saying that.”

Previously, Khloe took to her Instagram account and shared a sultry pic with her fans while rinsing her hair in a brown bikini.

Khloe’s two exes were quick to leave thirsty comments on the star’s photo.

While ex-husband Lamar complimented the KUWTK star by calling her “Hottie” alongside heart-eyed emojis, her boyfriend Thompson left behind a string of slobbering emojis.

However, Thompson, who shares three-year-old daughter True with Khloe, felt it necessary to mark her territory while tagging Lamar in a menacing comment.

“God brought you back the first time. Play if you will, different results,” Thompson wrote, referring to the former Lakers player’s hospitalization in 2015 with a near-fatal overdose.
