I know what you guys think...but it is not Rose.
He's my favorite player yes, but he's far too talented and too much of a star for me to ever relate to him.
For me it gotta be this man.
I've watched him shuffled in and out of the rotation all year and he consistently brings it every time. He can be playing great one game. Then not play again for two weeks and when a big gets hurt he comes in and does immediate work.
I've seen him not play for the first 40 something minutes of a game but when something happens and his number is called he brings it whether its a spot up j or a rebound or defense.
Coming from organized basketball I know how hard it is to play consistently when you get inconsistent minutes or get your bearings on a game when you're shoved into a game cold so late.
Moreover, I'm amazed by how he can stay in sync with teammates he hasn't played with for a couple games or a week or more like he hasn't stopped playing with them.
And then I look at Joakim Noah and he gets out of sync with everybody so fast even after a 2 week layoff.
It's just amazing.
It's just a shame when Noah starts playing better and gets to 100 percent Thomas will fall out of the rotation again. When we have all our bigs, Thomas is the odd man out in our rotation of 4 bigs. But I know if something happens, my dude's ready to step back in again no problem
I swear if I could've done my youth all over again I would've had a different attitude about my playing time.
This guy and Grant Hill are the ultimate professionals. It's not a coincidence they're still in the nba at their age.
