Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Thomas started playing at Charlotte 49ers in Division I NCAA, under Bobby Lutz. He ended his college career in Charlotte with then records for three-pointers made, games, consecutive games (130) and starts and single-season record for three-pointers (110), plus Conference USA records for career three-pointers made, single-season three-pointers made and single-season three-pointers in league games (60), while averaging 13.4 points per game.[1] He took part in ESPN's Three-Point Shooting Contest on 24 March 2002,[2] and on the 2002 NBA Pre-Draft summer camp in Chicago.[3]

After not being drafted, he moved to Europe and joined Queluz in the Portuguese Basketball League, playing only 18 games with an average of 24 points per game.[4]

He soon joined the Serie A in Italy, and in a five-year period, Thomas average more than 17 points per game in 163 games, representing three different teams.[4] After arriving at Olimpia Milano in 2008, he made his debut in European competitions, playing the 2008–09 Euroleague, averaging 12.1 points per game, helping Milano reach the Top 16 stage.[4]

He continued his globetrotter career and moved clubs again, first at Pallacanestro Varese and then at Treviso Basket, where he returned to European basket, playing the 2011-12 Eurocup and reaching the Top 16 with the Venetian team.[4]

After two more short stints in more Italy, Thomas returned to Portugal in August 2013,[5] to play for Benfica, adding nine titles in two seasons, and competing in the 2014–15 EuroChallenge. On 1 June 2015, the 35-year-old announced his retirement from basketball[6]
