Cam Thomas ahead of the Nets NBA game in Paris
Yo yo who said that c you’re wearing Kobe Sho this your goto shoe yeah for sure it’s definitely my go-to shoe my go to shoot for a while now so you know it’s my favorite player so so look at it if it ain’t broke don’t fix it so I had
A lot of good games in Kobe so I just keep wearing him so that’s really what’s special about themo uh just him being my favorite player and I try to imitate him a lot uh just looking up to him as a as a role model coming up through my
Basketball career just trying to do everything he does so that’s really all is to it so yeah what’s your take about them being unavailable for regular clients all the drops and stuff like this it’s almost impossible to get them yeah it’s crazy uh it’s kind of unfortunate CU everybody uh everybody
Likes Kobes now so you know everybody wants to pair Kobes CU is the Legacy he had so obviously it’s unfortunate but it is what it is it’s a popular shoe everybody’s going to get on them soon as they come out so you know it’s unfortunate but it’s definitely a great shoe to
Have okay you your numers tremendously compared to last season what is the main reason for that big jump this season yeah just uh the hard work I put in this summer and obviously just playing more being on the court more I probably say that’s all it is to it just playing more
Having more playing time uh obviously in the past years when I have played a lot I had to I had 20 point games 30 point games 40 point games so when I have played I produced so probably say this year just me playing a lot playing a lot
More on the court in the rotation more so that’s probably the only thing thank you can you are one from the youngest player in the team what’s the impact of veterans like Spencer Deni or d f yeah it’s good to have uh just cuz you know
They’re you know in their 30s they’re uh they seen a lot their experience so you know want them out there playing they give little tips about you know certain stuff I can do on both ends that could help because you know they they’ve been in big games big playoff games so they
Know like what it takes so it’s good to have vets like that on your team so it’s really good for me to learn learn from those guys for sure C still quite young obiously innba career early VI how’s it feel to come out to a country like Paris
Come play basketball yeah it’s good U it’s my first time out in the country so yeah this is different for me for sure so it’s good to just be in a different spot playing basketball at the country so that’s good feel like it’s going to
Have any impact on your game or oh no no not really I really just just trying to stay in much of a rhythm as I can try to keep my routine as simple as possible time difference been fact yeah for sure that definitely is that’s definitely
Been a factor for sure so I just got used to that I’ll probably be straight by tomorrow I just got back from New York not long ago myself and it was it’s crazy right crazy do may like the idea of playing maybe the final four of in season
Tournament next year in Europe because the format is quite right for the Europe and people are maybe um they like it here and they are accustomed to it so how do you think about this idea it’ll be different I’ll be different for sure uh yeah probably probably in different place than Vegas
I’m tired of going to Vegas from from the preseason this year and my two summer league years yeah I’m tired of going to Vegas so probably we can do it in a different country that’ll be cool for sure what’s the feeling around the group at the moment OB currently sitting in
The 10 SE just kind of wde open at the moment yeah yeah uh The Vibes are good uh there a lot of games left you know our best basketball’s ahead of us we just got to stay locked in and keep producing but we have a lot Good Vibes right now we’re just staying
Locked in and just you know take one game time recent changes for management to team say it again any recent changes from management towards the team to that mindset changing anything cups trying to get some wins in no just part say getting more keen in on our game plan our schemes our principles
So just uh just staying locked in on that and just reemphasizing on that stuff cuz we got away from that a little bit so he want to keep reemphasizing those kind of things so no I mean everything’s been good everything’s been the same Good Vibes good everything so it’s
Good and you’re currently shooting 20% or 40% from three and 45% from the field goal how do it feel to we get more playing time this season as well obviously averaging 21 points as well yeah that’s good uh just you know having the Rhythm playing more like you said I
You know I don’t really have much to say on that just I’m playing more just getting more Rhythm More reps in so it’s just really that’s a really one thing is to it for me oh again coming in attempt see that the like how’s it feel you
Looking to get into the postseason and like obviously push on and maybe get into the playoffs as well oh yeah definitely uh got like 50 40 50 more games left so we got a lot of games left a lot of basketball ahead of us so we
Just got to stay locked in try to strength together some wins is there any more changes you guys are going to make in terms of trying to push up the table to obviously get into a better seeding no just try to win get as much wins as
We can just win that’s what itals to it you have a lot of fun in France do you have a message for them say again you have a lot of fan in France do you have a message for them yeah uh come out to the game support me I appreciate all the
Support whether it looks like it or not I appreciate all the support you know it’s good to have different fans in different countries so I definitely cherish that a lot so just come out to the game got my jersey I’ll sign it cuz you know I don’t know when I’m coming
Back out here so we’ll see so I’ll definitely be you know try to put on a good show for my fans and the fans that’s out here watching the game tomorrow for sure have you already managed to see something special or try something special like food or drinks or
Something no not yet I just been uh sleep sleep this the practice you know time the the jet lag and time difference is killing me right now so probably just I probably try I mean we went to Eiffel Tower yesterday took pictures there so that was probably the only sight SC I’ve
Done so far so that’s good but no I haven’t really done nothing yet I just been sleep yeah yeah I’m against that yeah I swear I swear to God yeah what think tournament was it a good exp experience for you yeah it was good uh I
Only played in one one game cuz I hurt my ankle so I mean that one game was really competitive though play Chicago but even when I was watching the the competition level was high everybody was playing to the final buzzer you know you don’t really see that too often but
Everybody was playing to the final buzzer and that was really a good thing to see so you know it’s definitely a good thing for the league for the ncon tournament so you know to concentrate on on the game on such a tournament at the beginning of
The season is it uh is it a kind of motivation for additional additional motivation through is it different the tournament yeah oh yeah just from what was like the winning prize it was like 500k so everybody wants a little bit extra money in their pocket so yeah that’s definitely that’s definitely
Added Stakes to it but n not really it’s just still a basketball game but the money to it obviously makes it more Amplified so that’s really it yeah extra money are you okay with last one yeah uh there was some kind of backlash about teams being up 25 and something
And battling for the point differential how do you feel about it it’s is it okay or maybe doesn’t feel right that’s perfectly fine that’s basketball though I think I don’t know it’s just this Unwritten un Unwritten rule that you can’t score you know you just don’t run
Up the score like me I like running up the score so I mean you shouldn’t I don’t care went by 80 you can’t ask me that question so I’m on the side where you keep playing to the final buzzer so you know so you keep scoring till it
Says 0 Z that’s how I look at it but I don’t know I feel like it was good for the league though it’s competitive everybody was playing hard playing at a high level but me said run the score even as if you know we’re losing they
Have the right to keep scoring like we got to stop them till the final buzzer so if you don’t want them to score stop them so that’s just how I look at it you’re giving up you giving us a 30 P tomorrow we’ll see man we’ll see see thank you man guys
