Why Nets’ Cam Thomas is trying to trademark ‘Ain’t [Expletive] Funny’

Brooklyn Nets forward/guard Cam Thomas is showing off his business savvy by filing for the trademark to a hilarious interview answer.

Thomas has garnered attention in the past for his lack of smiling, and he finally set the record straight with a NSFW quip for why he’s not always got a grin on his face.

To Thomas, he’s not always smiling because “ain’t [expletive] funny.”

Well, Nets Daily first pointed out that the budding star might be laughing all the way to the bank as he’s filed for the trademark over the phrase via C Thomas Enterprises.

The application is still pending.

That means, if anyone uses this phrase for anything that could make them money on hats and shirts, they’ll have to go through Thomas first if his trademark request is approved.

Well, that’s one way to capitalize on your fantastic interview response.

Thomas remains one of the emerging talents in the NBA, and at this rate, he’ll become one of the league’s most enjoyable personalities.

Just maybe check with him first if you want to market that amazing answer.
