Lou Amundson is a journeyman NBA big man who has played for 11 different teams in 10 NBA seasons. Currently with the New York Knicks, Amundson played well defensively against Tristan Thompson on Friday, limiting him to just four points in a performance that included this monster of a blocked shot.

Thompson discussed his frustrations afterward, and appeared to take a shot at Amundson's ability in the process.

Amundson appeared in 12 games for the Cavaliers last season, so perhaps there's an existing relationship with Thompson that might make this comment more humorous than it is mean-spirited. Either way, Thompson took to Twitter a day later to apologize.

I apologize @LouAmundson17 My frustration on last night's game got to me. I'm better than that and we're better than that. #BeProfessional
