This article contains the assertion that Thomas is "Widely considered by sports writers to be an inconsistent and underachieving player". This can be construed as negative, and so should be backed up by specific examples. If he is "widely considered" an underachiever, it should not be hard to find examples and quotes to that effect. If those specifics cannot be found, then this line should be altered or deleted.

-This isn't even true. One could say that he is lazy and thus is why he only played 4 games for Chicago, the real reason being he didn't not fit in their system so they knocked him off the roster.

-Thomas, by ALL Laker fans, will be considered as the one who hit that HEARTbreaking, decisive game-saving 3-pointer against the Lakers with 6 seconds left in regulation in game 6 of the 2006 Western conference divisional series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shyjayb (talk • contribs) 05:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

He is lazy and uninspired.From his high school days, to Villanova, to his time in the NBA, Thomas has not played up to his potential.Him and Rasheed Wallace are probably the two biggest underachievers around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TruckTurner (talk • contribs) 17:50, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
