Kurt Thomas has been in the NBA for what seems like 100 years now but I rarely see him getting any dap. For someone who’s been around so long I feel like we should have picked up a nugget or two of information about him but that’s not the case.

He has dated the large-bottomed ex-girlfriend of rapper Joe Budden, and this heavily-tattooed model.
