Former NBA shooting guard Keith Bogans did not exactly have a storied career. He played for eight different teams over the course of 11 seasons, averaging 6.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.
To make matters worse, former big man Kurt Thomas used to poke fun at Bogans while the two were teammates on the Chicago Bulls during the 2010-11 campaign, according to Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic:
“Kurt would get onto him because typically in the NBA at shooting guard you scored a lot and you were athletic,” said former Bulls guard Ronnie Brewer. “I mean, that’s generally what comes to mind when you think of a typical NBA shooting guard. Either he can shoot the ball really well, score the ball really well, and he’s usually athletic. Well, that wasn’t what Keith was. So Kurt always joked with him about him not having hair, him not being athletic, him not scoring a lot of points, him not being able to dunk.”
Bogans started every game for the 62-win Bulls that season, but he played under 18 minutes per game. Obviously, Thomas meant it all in good fun, and this is just hilarious.
The best part is the fact that Thomas made fun of Bogans for not having hair, which has absolutely nothing to do with being a good shooting guard in the NBA. Well, as far as I know, anyway.
Apparently, Bogans was not Thomas' only victim, as former Bulls big man Brian Scalabrine added that Thomas roasted everyone for a bunch of different things.
Oh, and Thomas is still roasting Bogans eight years later, per Scalabrine:
“I saw him in Dallas this season while calling games. He comes up to me and out of nowhere. He didn’t even say hello. He roasts Keith Bogans. ‘I saw Keith the other day. He’s in better shape now than he was when he was the starting two-guard for 82 games.' And then he just kept walking, like, kept it moving.”
Kurt Thomas is awesome.
