Kurtain Call
I'm sure Kurt Thomas is a really nice guy. And he doesn't have the Shaq-size ego or Kobe-type sketchiness of other players. But Kurt Thomas, as good a person as he may be, is just in the wrong line of business.
It seems that any time I randomly turn on the Knicks game, Thomas commits a foul within 30 seconds. This happened two days ago--it was early in the 3rd quarter, and he committed his third. Then he turned over the ball 20 seconds later.
Yesterday, the Knicks were leading by 16 points late in the 2nd quarter, and with 20 seconds to go, Thomas committed his 3rd foul.
And who can forget last season when Thomas committed an offensive foul from behind the three point arc?
The poor guy is just always in foul trouble and I'm sure he'd be very good at some other career opportunities.
