The coolest thing about this?

Last week I googled a bunch of interviews and videos of Thornton from around the time of the draft. You know who his NBA idol is, which I’ve seen him say in more than one place? … Joe Johnson.

A Blazersedge meme from the past year has been “Team Bayless.” Ben even made a shirt.

Dare I say that there needs to be a Team Thornton? I would like to be the first official member.

I hope you include how Thornton came to be a Hornet. Pretty impressive all things considered. He wowed the staff in tryouts but we only had one draft pick. We’ll forever be indebted to the Heat for picking him then trading him for 2 future 2nd round picks.

Love the Team Thornton idea! Sign me up. :)
