When they rocked the fade: Kurt Thomas

You thought that this topic wouldn't go this far.  You probably believed that I wouldn't be able to find a picture of Kurt Thomas rocking it, but I did.


Here's a shot of him when he played in TCU.  Must be taken during his freshman year in college because he looks a lot slimmer here than he does in his other college photos.

I didn't know much about Thomas until his days with the Heat.  Seems like he did quite a lot in Texas Christian.  Apparently, he led the whole NCAA Division I in scoring and rebounding.  Only two other players had accomplished that feat, the late college great, Hank Gathers, and one-time Knick, Xavier McDaniel.  Way to go Kurt,  I thought his mid-range jumpers off the pick-and-roll was his greatest achievement.
