Description
Thomas Scott joins Jordan Daly and NBA vets Craig Smith and Mike Taylor for Episode 15 of the Underdogs Podcast. Hear the story of how the son of 3x NBA Champion Byron Scott created his own role in basketball.
After starting in the media room as a video coordinator for the New Orleans Hornets in 2006, Thomas Scott discovered his true career path in the NBA.
Soon after his time as a video coordinator, Thomas Scott became a coach's apprentice, and shortly after became a player development coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
By 2011, Thomas became the lead assistant coach for the G-League's Leagues Canton Charge in their inaugural season. This is where he truly learned all that goes on behind the scenes of a professional basketball organization.
When 2014 came around, Thomas accepted a position as an assistant coach of his hometown team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Shortly after, Ice Cube decided to create a 3-on-3 basketball league, later named the BIG3, in which Cube personally hired Thomas as the Director of Basketball Operations.
This past year, Thomas was also hired as an assistant coach for the new and exciting G-League Ignite team - the team that is meant for future NBA stars.
