I could definitely beat Kurt’s ass but I never would, he’s everything I loved about the Knicks

The guy was averaging nine minutes a game or so and suddenly, following what turned out to be a career-ending injury, he played almost 27 minutes in that game, including the final 15 minutes of the game. It was mostly his defense that stood out in the game.

OK; got it. Not about the stats. Thanks, Z-man.

Definitely in the NYK Badass HOF. Miss you, Kurt!

He was at the game last night, wasn’t he?

When I first saw “Kurt Thomas Appreciation Post,” it made me think that he passed away. (I’m very glad that’s not the case.) Now it just makes me think that we need to be more careful how we title our threads. 🙂

OK, so I looked at the boxscore contained at https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201303180UTA.html, as passed along by TNFH. For once I’m not trying to be a smart-a$$. I looked at Kurt Thomas’ line in that game and I can’t figure out what is supposed to be special about it. Is this the right game?

I was going to say exactly what EB said – we can’t seem to be able to win a playoff series without Kurt, so we need to bring him back! If not to play, maybe as an assistant coach? 😉
Please tell him he has a fan in Portugal and thank him for all his time with the Knicks, the 1999 run to the NBA Finals is one of the most epic seasons i have ever witnessed! 💪

Kurt Thomas would’ve been the hero in Game 2 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Finals if the Knicks hadn’t blown the game in the final minute.

Kurt had an amazing arc. Steady improvement in college with a pretty incredible peak. Steady improvement in the pros. One of the truly great late bloomer stories.

Personally I loved the way he carried on the tradition of badassery that I loved so much from Ewing, Oak and Mase.

tell captain kurt that jowles will beat his ass.

also, does kurt know that he’s one of only 3 knicks in recorded history with 1000 offensive rebounds and 2000 personal fouls (willis et al were pre-orb statkeeping)? he’s in the bloody pantheon.
