The guy is blessed for being in the NBA and even having fans to want an autograph. This is ridiculous, I don't care who you are. Asking for money for a piece of paper with YOU'RE name on it? I guess Tyrus Thomas favorite song is called "For the Love of Money" by bone Thugs.
wait so are you sure this wasnt for charity and he gets part of the money? if so, then this isnt the whole story at all
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SerbBojo @ Mar 22 2007, 12:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>at least he doesn't rape women like Kobe Bryant, or beat women like Ron Artest, or DUI like J.J. Redick, or is a part of illegal fighting pit Bull ring like Qyntel Woods, or smokes weed like Damon Stoudamire, or throws cheap punches at players like Carmelo, or gets arrested for assault like Stephon Jackson. so big deal, he wants to make money. The nba is a business, these players wouldnt be here if they werent getting paid. I highly doubt Thomas is even setting this stuff up, its prolly his agent. Besides if your stupid enough to hand over 40 bucks or w/e for a autograph from a rookie than you are an idiot. And by the way, he donated that money from the dunk contest to his school. He can make all the money he wants off the court as long as he continues to improve and make this team better.</div>Kobe Bryant was never convicted of rape. Your taking a 19 year old girl's word living in California over Kobe who could get any women he wants at any time any day. Makes sense.

Still sounds worse to me than accepting money and possible donating it to charities.
