"The sky's the limit for him" - Kevin Durant all praise for Cam Thomas, explains hilarious "too small" gesture against Nets star

Don't reach, young blood

Durant and Thomas got intriguingly tangled up at one point in the game. With around 2:26 left in the third frame, the Phoenix Suns star drove to his left and charged over the Nets sensation. KD rose, drained a right-hand floater off the glass, and clinched the and-1 play as Cam got called for a shooting foul.

After his successful shot, KD stood up for a while, stared at Thomas, and hit him with a hilarious “too small” finger gesture.

“Anytime I can score on Cam, I'm gonna talk sh— to him, man,” Kevin said about the sequence. “We’ve been doing that since I’ve known him. I'm sure there's gonna be more moments like that. He’s my brother, and I gotta teach him a lesson if he’s gonna guard me out there.”

The only way is up

Now that he is mainly focused on his current run with Phoenix after the previous rally that he had as a Net, KD stands optimistic that Cam will continue to develop tremendously and will be able to create a mark for himself.

Durant is firmly convinced that the promising guard can only get better as he now occupies a special seat in the franchise's core as their go-to scorer.

“He's a student of the game. That's what people don't understand about Cam. He's on his phone on the plane watching film, watching other players. He's obsessed with the game. That's what attracted us to one another,” Durant said.

“He’s only gonna get better. What is he? 22-years-old? Around the league, it’s already on the scouting report that he’s one the hardest people to guard in the league. So if he keeps it up, the sky's the limit for him.”
