Isaiah Thomas - Fantastic Finisher

Isaiah is a sight to behold. Standing at 5’9’’, he’s about the same height as Nate Robinson, which means they are the shortest players in the NBA. That makes no difference to Isaiah, of course. His forceful forays to the rim are made all the more impressive by the fact that he goes around, under, and most of the time, even through bigger guys.
The 6th man of the year runner-up in 2015 brings an intensity and aggressiveness to the Celtics that was lacking before the trade. He finished the season third in free throws attempted per game by point guards (behind Russell Westbrook and Eric Bledsoe).
The little lefty is incredibly crafty. His handle is tricky and his touch is terrific. He contorts his body any way he needs to in order to get the contact and force free throws. He seems to crave contact, like a few other guards who come off the bench and bring that scoring punch (Manu & Harden) and it’s always an adventure with how he gets to the line. Playing for one of the league’s great franchises, Thomas has a name that reminds of the all-time great (though spelled slightly different), but under Brad Stevens’ brilliance, he may show that he’s a name worth mentioning in his own right.

For every small guard watching this video, notice a couple things. 1. How he puts the ball up on the glass quickly when faced with taller defenders 2. His ability to handle through traffic 3. How he changes speeds on the fly + his hesitation move. He uses these things most often, and if implemented into your game correctly can make you a DEADLY scoring threat. As well as a jumpshot(:

[@jfkssniper1759]

+Michael Young Not dribble really bad wording, but more like being able to maneuver through traffic without having the ball taken from you, etc.

[@snakeeyes6328]

IM 5 FOOT 9 IS IT POSSIBLE I CAN BE LIKE MVP ROSE IF I PUT IN THE HARD WRK

[@chriscc14]

Another tip : don't shy away from contact. Go after it. He always goes body to body when he's in the air Also one more : protect the ball with your body. When isaiah splits the defense you see him using his shoulder to prevent opposing players from stripping the ball from him

[@jqan2888]

make sure you look up isaiah thomas panda mix one of the best mixes for him

[@xXHomovWizard69Xx]

Careful he’s a hero

[@itriedsohard23]

He is literally attacking bigs that are over a foot taller and he is somehow scoring efficiently, how is this even possible?

[@archfruit]

+itriedsohard23 hops, years of experience attacking bigs, and fearlessness

[@jaxgambino1880]

+archfruit His hard earned speed ,handles and timing mixed with his natural wide body and strong frame with natural strength that few people rarely get,,thomas ..nate robinson and ty lawson all have this which makes up for there height

[@YT-pk4zg]

Hey, whenever he enters the paint, he always look at the rim, without even caring for the defender. I think that's how he scores efficienctly

[@RBslash22]

He’s short with long arms, can dribble good and he’s quick and clutch

[@greyk610]

Idk broz but when you really think about it he might be the most talented dude in the NBA.

[@EvinGualberto]

Some news for those who were waiting on videos of the NBA Finals, I've finally managed to get all the games now and I'm almost done with them, so there's that. Andre Iguodala defense, Tristan Thompson's offensive rebounding, Matthew Dellavedova defense (or at least defensive effort), will all be videos I'll be doing so look out for those soon!

[@brandonhonaker5493]

Evin Gualberto You have one of the best KZbin channels man props.

[@whosmakingthatsound]

Evin Gualberto Can't wait for those! Agree with Brandon one of the better channels on YT showing different facets of the game and particular things of players instead of just highlight dunks. Thanks and keep it up!!

[@chaeyoungvideos5742]

The kyrie trade really ruined his career :( He was an mvp candidate ffs

[@Justin1988Johnson]

Isiah is so good but he's over look because of his height, believe me I'm one of them which is such a shame. I honestly think if isiah was 6 feet tall he would be the next Allen iverson. Maybe even better

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

no respect from the refs while Lebum gets calls if you exhale on him

[@djs3375]

isaiah is my favorite player!!!!

[@leonardoconceicao3103]

Jesus Loves you

[@aniketsingh1800]

this guy proves you dont need height to play basketball

[@MatthewChanhk]

His hesitation move is so deadlyyyyy

[@josephnebenzahl7704]

are their any tutorials on how he does this

[@zxtqwwr0]

Thomas making it look easy with those floaters…

[@paccrunnaz]

Is it possible to do a Stephen Curry inside scoring video or did you already do it?

[@EvinGualberto]

Lord Lightskin I'm sort of working on one. It's hard because he does so much really well in the paint (floaters, lefty finishes, up and unders, etc.) so you'll see one on here at some point but I don't know what exactly to hone in on at the moment.

[@adamokinaga98]

I'm tellin you man, do one on his floaters. He has backboard, underhand, and regular floaters that are crazy good

[@elijah1allen]

Can you upload a couple Euroleague players to? Your views would sky rocket! Great uploads you have- Really appreciate the hard work!

[@kingphil4073]

Elijah Allen hell no

[@RampageLeiataua]

I love watching this dude play

hey man youre awesome!! best compilation videos ever, congratulations... keep going

[@Matt-ym3if]

i put the video in .5 speed and just enjoy in amazement

[@basketballandfunk5091]

I don't think there's a player with better ball skills, between the ball handling, moves, crossover, shot diversity, body control, elusiveness, fearlessness. All hail Isaiah!

[@claytonross5960]

Bruh just force IT to go right for fucks sake

[@TreyTheCain]

drop part two warriors monte was ridiculous

[@khaniros3108]

He uses so many screens and uses them well

[@malikhenderson3618]

Can we get a Eric Bledsoe or Russell Westbrook finishing video?

[@DonavanBarraza]

so quick

[@CoachCurroSantaella]

Wooow!!! great!! I really want to see your next vids!!

[@jeremyraharifidy-barbe4501]

impressive

[@CMCut]

the best 5'10 and under in NBA history

[@taquite9656]

Goran dragic please! that would be the one im looking most forward too.

[@EvinGualberto]

***** Me too. I'm working on it. You'll see at least one video on him sooner rather than later.

[@taquite9656]

awesome! thanks man i love your videos!

[@EvinGualberto]

***** Much appreciated!

[@jonasbusano8402]

As a defender, a guy that small coming at you, you definitely do not try to take a charge... Body that man up. No disrespect to Isaiah, the guy is a monster! So crazy how he's able to do what he does at that height

[@amateruss]

Easy for you to say because you're not the one defending him.

[@iceball41]

Andre Drummond offensive rebounds

[@AngelRodriguez-jq9yl]

Bro your videos are goat

[@amazinggrace3292]

best 5'9 ever

[@PmKsJack21]

Show respect

[@Champion2Manager]

A smaller lefty version of Allen Iverson ! I just love his game since his days with the Sacramento Kings.
