Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Cam Thomas had a reason behind why he never smiles and it was a hilarious one at that.
A tweet of a stone-faced Thomas along with the reason behind not smiling all the time went viral on Twitter leading to some slapstick fun replies from fans.
On his part, Thomas apparently believes that not everything was funny for him to flash a good smile.
“Ain’t S**t Funny”
As far as the season goes, it’s not just Thomas who won’t be smiling after the Nets lost to the Detroit Pistons. They were edged out 130-122 despite Kyrie Irving’s scintillating 40-point night coupled with 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.
The struggles continued to mount for Ben Simmons who after enduring a slump so far this season was ruled out of the game in the third quarter due to left knee soreness.
On his part, Thomas played for just two minutes with no numbers to show. Well, if he’s not smiling usually, he’s definitely not going to laugh about the loss and his game time.
NBA Fans React To Cam Thomas’ Logic Behind Him Not Smiling
While some fans saw the funny side of Thomas not smiling, some felt his logic was the one that would make a case for “Quote of the Year” while also adding that this would be the start of a memefest over the next few weeks.
Clearly, they did see the side of Thomas being honest about not smiling. Sometimes, things aren’t really funny and he decided to keep it very real.
