Come check one of the world's tallest poets: "He talks in rhymes and rebounds, winding metaphors and crooked elbows. He jams at MCI Center and slams in local coffeehouses."--Washington Times

Join this poet-activist athlete who reps this generation's athlete with a moral conscience and a voice in the tradition of Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown

 

    "I like to use basketball as a platform," said Thomas, who frequently speaks at area schools. "I'll talk to kids and spin a little poetry. Sometimes, it gets kind of old hearing the same messages: Don't do drugs, study hard, listen to your parents. You can use poetry to make people see that in a new light." -Etan Thomas
