Game 6 of the Knicks vs Pacers isn’t over yet, and somehow Thomas Bryant is already turning heads, and not just in Indiana. The Lakers community on Twitter is buzzing, and, well, “bothered” might be the polite way to put it. Bryant, who once wore the purple and gold, has suddenly found a new groove with the Pacers that no one quite saw coming. By the third quarter, he had already scored 9 points and grabbed a rebound, showing glimpses of the impact he’d have on the game.
Fans who once dismissed his game during his Lakers tenure are now eating their words and serving up some fresh takes. One tweet summed it up best: “Btw I apologize to Thomas Bryant for saying he sucks… this is the best I’ve ever seen him play.” Another added with a mix of frustration and humor, “Why Thomas Bryant ain’t do none of this for LeBron when he was on the Lakers?”
The criticism isn’t just about Bryant’s overall play but the surprising evolution in his game. Once known for limited shooting, Bryant is now knocking down threes like a dead-eye marksman, leaving Lakers fans wondering when – or if – that version of him ever existed in LA. Game 6 is uncovering a new narrative, and who wins might come down to whether the Knicks can contain Bryant’s unexpected firepower.
