Bayern Munich (Germany) announced that the club signed forward/center Malcolm Thomas to a one-plus-one deal. Thomas last played for Turkish EuroLeague Fenerbahce Beko. Best wishes Malcolm Thomas and get paid.
Thomas joined Fenerbahce in December 2019 and averaged 2.9 points, 3.6 rebounds plus 1.1 assists in 15 minutes over 12 EuroLeague matches and then 5.3 points, 5.3 rebounds plus 2.0 assists in 20 minutes over three matches of the Turkish BSL League before the season was canceled.
Play professional basketball, see the world.
Thomas is now 31 years old.

Though he has only logged playing time in 40 NBA games, he has played for six teams over five seasons, stretching from 2011-12 to 2014-15, seeing some playing time with the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, and Utah Jazz. www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thomama01.htmlFrom 2011-12 through 2015-16, he has played for four NBA developmental teams, including the Los Angeles D-Fenders, Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Austin Spurs, and the Santa Cruz Warriors. Malcolm Thomas began his international career in 2012-13 with the Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv of the Israel League. He has, also, played for the Quebradillas Pirates (Puerto Rico League), Jilin Northeast Tigers (China League), Khimki Moscow Region (VTB League--Russia plus the Baltic countries), Fenerbahce (Turkey League), Shanxi (China League), and now Bayern Munich (EuroLeague). And, he has put up some impressive numbers in international competition. www.proballers.com/basketball/player/49340/malcolm-thomasHowever, I guess the Crawford H.S. fans out there already knew this. |

One of my all time Aztec favorites. I always enjoyed watching him play and glad to see him getting paid to play a game he loves, support his family, and travel the globe. He will have so many experiences that lots of people can only dream about. Glad to see Malcolm still playing and living his dream.

However, I guess the Crawford H.S. fans out there already knew this. Love Malcolm Thomas. Great player, person, and father. It was enjoyable watching Malcolm and Kawhi fawn over Malcolm's daughter during their years playing together. I remember talking to Malcolm at a basketball banquet. Mentioned to him I was a fellow Crawford Colt. His face lit up. He asked me if I ever went back and visited the school. I told him I haven't. Thinking back, I wouldn't be surprised if Malcolm DID go back and visit Crawford - and their hoops squad. He is that type of person. |

Anyone have a ballpark feel for what he will get paid in that league? But how much do European basketball players make? The answer is that a North American who travels over can expect to get paid anywhere between $65,000 and $100,000, depending on the league and the market. Also, many clubs will also pay for a player’s taxes and provide other benefits such as housing and a vehicle on top of their salary. |

Play professional basketball, see the world. Thomas is now 31 years old. When I saw this I thought it was a joke. Bayern Munich is one of the best football (soccer) teams in the world. Their official name is FC Bayern Munich. The FC stands for Foosball (football) Club. I googled it and found that there is an FC Bayern Munich basketball team. The basketball team is one of many departments owned by the football team, including chess, gymnastics and handball. You learn something every day... |

I just don't recall the last time we packed the Viejas for a Chess Match.  Does bring back memories, though. The chess club brought in a team of chess masters and set up a bunch of tables in a large square with about eight boards to a table over by the Student Union. The students (challengers) would sit around the outside and the masters would roam from game to game inside the square. I felt somewhat honored, because one stopped roaming and toyed with me for about 20 minutes, with a couple of the others stopping to observe from time to time. After he checkmated me, he said, "Thank you." and walked off. |

Good for him! I hope he kicks some serious @ss over there!
On a side note, anyone know what's going on with Trey Kell? He left the Hong Kong Long Lions back in Jan after only 3 games.
