Thomas video also went viral on social media as he was caught crying after his 81-point game.

Thomas went on Twitter to explain why he became so emotional after his 81-point game.

"I wasn't showing y'all a snippet of me being emotional so y'all can feel sorry 4 me. Hell no!!! My life is GREAT!! I was showing y'all that to see what it feels like to give everything you have to something you love and to see it slowly coming back where it's suppose to be TMC."



"That emotion was tied up from the last 4yrs battling every single day!!! I ain't talking about the «league» giving up on me lol. THE WORLD GAVE UP ON ME & WAS SHITTING ON ME WHILE I WAS DOWN AND OUT!! When you love something you'll do whatever it takes to get that!!! I'm back."


Thomas said on his Tweets that he broke down crying because of what he went through within four years of battling life and it wasn't because of the league. He said that he cried because people gave up on him when he was down on his life.

Thomas last played in the NBA with the New Orleans Pelicans where just played three games on a 10-day contract. The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers were reportedly interested on signing the former NBA All-Star point guard.
