Cam Thomas On His Irrational Confidence, Playing Behind KD and Kyrie, AAU Basketball and More

[@Seanobb]

Bro Cam Thomas is such a real one. People don't realize this dude had 3 legit bucket getters around him every day when he first started. He's going to be great. Another great guest on the best podcast out there.

[@versatillion15]

Playing with 3 bucket getters makes you a real one?

Cam's development has been unbelievable this year. He always had that "it" factor, dude was hitting game winning shots right out the gate in Summer League. He's grown as a defender, passer and outside shooter, he'll be one of the best scorers in this league for a while. I remember him saying his favorite player was James Harden, and luckily for Cam he got to play with Harden for half of his rookie year. He definitely benefited from playing with 3 superstars (at least they did something positive for us). Hoping Cam can be a key piece to some contending Nets teams in the coming years

[@jamesransom1981]

He could’ve done more every year he’s been in the league. He was being held back.

[@gotedits8747]

This aged poorly lol

[@jerms99]

The fact bro was able to watch 3 all time great scorers, he brought a mix of all of them to his bag.

[@zakinoo5734]

You’d never thing that a guy averaging 27ppg goal is to be in the rotation consistently😂

[@shelovet0mmy]

Cam just exudes confidence and I absolutely love watching him play because of that fearlessness, and talent to put the ball in the hoop on even the most audacious shots/moves😮‍💨

[@B133K]

started paying attention to Cam after Gil mentioned him and dude is a legit bucket, fun to watch, rooting for this young man to succeeded.

[@danieldanielson2324]

I love how much respect and adoration Cam gets from his peers. Fans know he’s special but it’s guys like KD saying to the nets FO “you should get cam. That kid is a bucket.” Kyrie and harden praise him. PG and JJ can’t praise the kid enough on their shows. I can’t wait till the Nets give him the keys

[@Mrdonjuliothewicked]

He's got em now 😎😎

[@lewisgrosso2408]

I worked with long island nets tv when Cam was on the team. He’s a great guy and was always the best dude on the team

[@davinator152]

We just need to be healthy, we’ve been injured this whole season

lemme ask you then, how are ben simmons and cam johnson doing? i lied to myself by saying i would watch most nets games

[@betoluvsu]

@@palooski227you do realize that they were/are injured right? most of the team was injured for most of the season so far, and at one point we were missing 4 starters 😂😂 chill on the team and give it some time

[@DAVAND23]

@@palooski227 Ben was playing well before he got injured and Cam Johnson just got back from being injured in game 1. It's been a very injury heavy start to the season for the Nets but luckily for them they have a very deep roster. Lonnie's been amazing this year as the sixth man off the bench.

[@BKNNKB23]

This dude has that “it” factor when you watch him. He’s just got it. He might genuinely be a top 5 scorer in the league

[@darrylwallace2428]

I really hope this young man continues to make wise choices, and finds ways to excel. He’s a phenomenal player to watch, and already miles ahead of many players.

[@nextshotsonme]

Cam is just a solid dude

[@Sorianfappel]

Will be one of the best scorers in nba for a long time. Love him

[@kevinramos6062]

I got to catch a game in Brooklyn back in February in the middle of all the Kyrie drama and KD was injured.. that’s when Cam was dropping 40 points in like 5 straight games or whatever it was.. Boy put on a show!

[@Thichris]

Man I love Cam

[@JevityRecords]

For those that knew him from back in 757 VA, he was destined for greatness. Even as a shorty he was known for his shot. Everywhere he has gone, he has broken records so FOR 757ers, it was hella frustrating to see Nets sitting him.

[@2Generic]

my favorite player in the League to root for. CT is the future

[@smoothsavage2870]

He has to be more willing to pass outside of when he runs into defense and he'll be a great player. The scoring is there obviously, but if he develops his passing, he'll be a major threat.

[@jesuseunmorohunfola697]

Mailbag: What do you think of the in-season tournament using a point system. 4 points per win. 1 point per quarter won. Means we’re less likely to see too many teams with identical points, which means less tie breakers. But it also gives an incentive for teams to compete in every game and every quarter. And they can do it without feeling like they’re disrespecting the game. I think the tie breaker after the points system should be points differential though. Point differentials make for a great fan experience.

[@jackherron1279]

Cam needs that early Dbook treatment. Run everything through him and get him playmaker vets to teach him.
