The NBA Little man is scoring 14.3 points per game compared to the 28.3 he scored last year. He’s shooting 36.9 percent overall and 26.9 percent from beyond the arc, definitely a big fall from last year’s stats, and playoff heroics.
Now the Los Angeles Lakers guard is being accused of point shaving. Comedian Hannibal Burress posed the question on Twitter last night. People were pretty excited about it too.

This man was a legit MVP contender last year, this year he is a legit LVP contender.
Remember when people were asking who got the better trade, Cleveland or Boston? That was like 8 months ago.
What happened?

Of course this came from a comedian, who was clearly joking, but Thomas isn’t looking the same. Point shaving can most certainly happen, more likely at the college level though, These NBA guys have so much money already, no point to take a dive for what would amount to peanuts.
