This time last season, we were witnessing the most inspirational story of the playoffs, as Isaiah Thomas took the floor for the Boston Celtics just days after the tragic and sudden loss of his sister in a car accident.

On top of that, Thomas was clearly playing hurt for the latter part of the regular season and the playoffs, dealing with a constant hip issue that would later require surgery. But through it all, he battled through, showing incredible determination and perseverance in doing so. Boston’s season eventually end in the Eastern Conference finals in 5 games to the Cavs, but there was no doubt that Thomas had given everything he had for the team, fighting through the most difficult of circumstances.

  1. He didn't sign an extension so celtics could make moves and when it's time for him to sign a contract they ship him somewhere. That rubs me in the wrong way. If you think that's right then go fuck yourself. Danny Ainge is an asshole.

  2. Im a IT fan and a Celtics fan and we didnt play him dirty. He had a hip injury and was at his prime age we weren't looking for a contract extension.

  3. God bless him but his unfortunate downfall changed the nba … players watched what happened to him and boogie and now they are done. Basically he was the feather that broke the camels back. This will most likely be a growing issue in the 2020s

  4. All he got was a hand shake then got traded. If any player stays with a team through thick and thin, maybe is because the team tried to trade him but failed.

  5. I really wish IT all the best in the future. Poor lad got his career screwed up by heartless team managers. He deserved more for his efforts and achievements… a lot more than a mere 2 million dollars contract.

  6. Well, what you see here is the Celtics properly evaluating a player. Brad Stevens system was what made him have career years above his previous career averages and the Celtics knew it. The injury was just going to sap even more of his ability so it probably wasn't wort it to them.
