Look:
Thomas told the interviewer:
I only oppose this. If I were the GM or the coach, I would never go to one of my players who go to the floor like this. I mean, we are professionals, the NBA League. We are not summer leagues. We are the YMCA.
…
I only believe that professionalism in our NBA League has diminished so much. … Look, I like LeBron, I am a fan of his own, so, and so on, but to go on the floor before a game, without a shirt and shoot, I mean, do we go, man? Where did we eat? What do we do? Where did we eat? “
Thomas even suggested that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Fine James for without shirt warming. “Adam Silver, if you want to fine someone, well. Put a fine in that,” Thomas said.
Basketball fans and media commentators had mixed reactions to Thomas’s comments. For the victories, Charles Curtis called Thomasresion “ridiculous” and said of James: “Nobody cares if he gets heated in a shirt or not. If he wanted to play the game without a shirt? Different history.” Curtis wrote on Saturday:
This is ridiculous. Imagine being the general manager Isiah Thomas and walking towards his best player and one of the best in the NBA (Thomas said it was better than Michael Jordan!) And tells him to heat up with a shirt. Let Lebron be LeBron and you will continue to get that greatness!
But the thing is: nobody cares if he heats up with a shirt or not. If I wanted to play the game without a shirt? Different history.
…
We are here talking about warm up! It’s not a game! Warming!
