Etan Thomas considers the owners’ point of view, in caricature
Veteran big man Etan Thomas is the rare NBA player who may be better known for his exploits off the court than on it.

Etan Thomas, Subtly Firing Shots at the Wizards Medical Staff
It’s as if we’re forced to admire or respect the outspoken views of Etan Thomas just because, well, they are outspoken. The mere fact that he’s a rare beacon of political activism amongst professional athletes somehow lends more credibility to his point of view.

NBA players' blind viewpoints during lockout
Nazr Mohammed and Etan Thomas are two of the sharpest knives in the NBA players drawer. But in recent days, as both men issue viewpoints on the lockout, they're demonstrated an acute disconnect from the financial realities that separate them from basketball fans and the real economic world.
