Kenny Thomas Appreciation Thread

In all honesty, he should be shown some appreciation!

Thanks Kenny for keeping us competitive after the Chris Webber deal. Thanks for all of those big rebounds you pulled down to save a win or gain a win for us. Thanks for being a pure professional most of the time here. Thanks for being a mentor for the young guys here. And lastly, THANKS for having a huge expiring to net us an even BIGGER expiring contract and a allstar at that!

We love u Kenny 'K9' Thomas

Going home!

I remember watching the Kings beat the Lakers when Thomas schooled Walton in OT. Great game.

My favorite memory of Kenny Thomas was seeing him in VIP with two other dudes at Avalon. What struck me as odd was the Kings had just played a road game. Tough break!

I'm sure Kenny is HAPPY to leave since we weren't using him. I don't think he would have made a huge difference to us but he still can play.

Goodbye Kenny. I never understood the hate for you, but thanks for being a professional. I won't forget your first home game with us!

Thanks Kenny!

Wonder if a team will pick him up??? He can still play, but I honestly don't know if there is a spot for him out there.

^^Of course not!

Thank you Kenny for making "The Pouting Frog" a popular expression.

This guy:

Had a triple double against the Lakers in his first/second season here.

16 points
12 rebounds
10 assists

And he made Luke Walton his B*itch for that night.

A great day for Kings fans all around the world.

Haha! Nice. He played pretty well for us when he first came in for webb. He seemed to get in Adelmans doghouse and never left the end of the bench. I think he can still rebound and play D, its just his contract was so massive no one wanted him.

I think when we brought in SAR it was downhill from there.

I never understood why Kenny started over him under 2 coaches.

Kenny whined if he didn't start, SAR, being the chill dude he is, didn't care. That's why.
