How did the Cam Thomas "Ain't shit funny" meme originate? Exploring the hilarious trend and how it came to be viral

Before Cam Thomas was making waves with his recent stretch of performances, he became an internet sensation for one small comment. When asked why he never smiles, the Brooklyn Nets guard had a rather simple response.

Throughout the year, Thomas was always seen on the bench or in games never with a smile on his face. When a reporter asked about his constant stoic expression, he responded by saying "ain't sh*t funny." As expected, this response quickly caught fire on social media.

Cam Thomas was not trying to be rude, but more implying that he's always locked in on winning basketball games and getting buckets. That being said, he now realizes it's making headlines after becoming a meme on the internet.

Cam Thomas backed up his comments from viral meme

Part of why Cam Thomas made the "ain't sh*t funny" comment is because he is locked in on his game. The 21-year-old backed up his statement with a string of incredible performances.

At the trade deadline, the Brooklyn Nets went through a complete makeover. Kyrie Irving was shipped to the Dallas Mavericks, and Kevin Durant was dealt to the Phoenix Suns in a mega-deal. In the midst of all these trades, it opened up more minutes for players on the Nets.

One person who made the most of the opportunity was Thomas. Not only did he light it up for the Nets, but made history in the process. Earlier this month, he became the youngest player in NBA history to score 40+ in three straight games.

This scoring barrage began against the Washington Wizards when he erupted for 44 points. Thomas then went for 47 and 43 points against the LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns.

The former first-round pick went from barely seeing playing time to etching his name in the history books. Furthermore, he's cemented himself as a blue chip prospect for the Nets moving forward.

Through eight games in February, Thomas is averaging 26.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists. To put this jump into perspective, he didn't average over 10 points per game in any previous month this season. This recent run has been so good that Thomas has even broken character and been caught smiling.
