    http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...the_free_money/<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Tyrus Thomas downplayed his excitement in being in the slam dunk contest on Monday night when he was asked about it."Not really," Thomas said. "I'm just going to go out there, get my check and call it a day.""I'm just into the free money," he said when asked if he thought fraternizing with the great dunk champs of years past could be of benefit to him. "That's it. I'll just do whatever when I get out there."</div>What a loser. Another NBA player just in it for the money. This is the problem with professional sports today, give me a break.

I never really liked Thomas that much anyways, but this gives me another reason to.

    Tyrus Thomas just has a terrible attitude, he had one during the draft process, interacting with fans and now this. If this is the way he acts during all-star weekend...man...whats going to motivate this ***hole to improve? I officially hate this guy.

    As a bulls fan, that is horrible attitude. I hate when people dont play for the love of the game. He wouldnt even sign anything for me at this one game when I was facing him and he had a black marker!

He had a terrible attitude then, and he still does. I started hating on him then, than this..I do hate the guy, and his pathetic attitude. If he's just in it for the money he doesn't deserve to be out there at all.

    Maybe he will get hurt before the dunk contest, So gay or carney can replace him.I just forgot it's hard to get injured if you never play.

    I don't think he should be fined, he should be pulled from the contest. You want guys to join because they want to give the fans a great show. Replace him with JR Smith... [​IMG]

I am really interested though in what Stern will say and/or do in response to his comments. I agree though... he should be pulled from the contest.

    Another black athlete who takes his skills for granted. Never liked Thomas during the tourney when he made himself a marquee name for the draft and don't like him now. I posted his draft reactions to fans and he's got a lot of maturing to do. For his sake and Bulls, hopefully it hits him and he actually develops his talent. Otherwise he's just another guy who wastes his gift for the almighty dollar. Can't blame him but sad.

    Yeah, I remember an incident during the draft process where he apparently made fun of a kid who was getting an autograph from Adam Morrison. This guy is a dick.
