At one point last year Kurt Thomas threatened to punch Stephon Marbury. Kurt thinks that may be the reason he was traded. Tonight Thomas' Suns play the Knicks.
"I'm playing with Steve Nash, an MVP and someone who demands attention on the floor and makes the game fun," Thomas said with a bit of bite in his voice. "This is the most fun I've had in a long time."
He says he doesn't hold a grudge against Marbury and feels that both players gained greater respect for one another following their infamous locker room shouting match.
Thomas said he will shake Marbury's hand tonight and wish him good luck. But they won't be exchanging Christmas cards anytime soon. When asked two weeks ago about Marbury, Thomas told reporters that the Knicks point guard he missed playing with is "Charlie Ward." When asked yesterday to name the best point guard in the league, Thomas didn't hesitate.
"Steve Nash," he said. "Everybody knows that."
