Tim Thomas explains the reason he left Mavericks

For power forward Tim Thomas in paul pierce jersey, life is not all about basketball, after re-signing with Mavericks one month later, Tim Thomas decided to leave again, that means he would miss the 2010-2011 to continue supporting his wife with an undisclosed illness and his three daughters in charlotte bobcats jersey, the same situation that forced him to miss almost the entire of the 2009-2010 season.

Thomas in bobcats jerseys said he loved playing basketball as always, but that is really a waste of time, for him, being an excellent dad and husband is really a matter, which is the most important job for him. To avoid the same situation last season, which he left to take caring of his sick wife in the middle of the season, Thomas in chicago bulls jersey made the decision before the training camp starts.
