Isaiah Thomas - Fantastic Finisher 15/16

Isaiah Thomas was drafted with the final pick in the 2011 NBA draft. In being taken with the 60th pick, Isaiah became the lowest drafted player to become an NBA All Star. On the back off a career best 22.2 points per game (good for 11th best in the league) and an impressive 6.3 assists per game (15th best league wide), he helped Boston to 48 wins this season, and a second consecutive playoff berth.
Standing at 5’9”, Isaiah Thomas is probably not the first name that jumps to mind when you think about the best finishers in the league, but IT belongs in that conversation. He’s got quickness and an impressive bag of tricks, with his ability to split defenders, smitty stop & go move, and a TIGHT handle, which allows him to get to the rim with the greatest of ease. When he gets there, man, is it impressive to watch. He’s got toughness and touch, floaters that rise for days, and the ability (and want) to absorb contact and muscle through. He’s acrobatic when he gets airborn, but he can also finish with force.
The Washington Husky is obviously a big game player. Boston’s first home playoff game saw Thomas drop 42 on the Hawks. That’s just the 9th time a Celtic has gone off for 40 during the playoffs, with Thomas joining the likes of Ray Allen, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, and Paul Pierce. If you are wearing Boston green, those are great names to be mentioned with. The future is bright in Beantown.

5'9...final pick in the draft....29 points per game in 2016. If you watch his game, he's quick but not blazing fast, has hops but isn't Nate Robinson, can shoot but isn't Curry. His game is all skill and heart. Hesitation dribbles, using the rim to protect your layup, knowing when to pull up off screens and when to cut through the D.

[@yamiyo6050]

He could shoot better than curry tbh

[@stiltzkinvanserine5164]

It really takes a lot of courage to storm into the paint when there are so many big defenders there.

[@curiouslymavismade]

People don't give this guy the credit he truly deserves for his hops, this guy had so much bunnies.

[@SeedOilFitnessOfficial]

Being a smaller size is both a disadvantage and an advantage. Helps him squeeze through smaller gaps in defense more effectively

[@lucasphillips3320]

Man he was so good

[@seanflaherty1225]

He's not very big but he uses his body better than most centers in the NBA.

[@beanbaddox2778]

Exactly! Nigga upper body strength and body control in the mid air is def one of the best in the league. Had to perfect it to make up for his height prolly been doin this shit his whole life going against bigger players💯

[@lPlanetarizado]

those scop floaters are so nice, and it is even more hard to do than a common floater

[@LilSerx]

Him & Horford gonna be sooooo good in the pick n roll

[@ah00dii85]

It's funny and amazing at the same time how a guy at 5'9" is able to finish at the rim. his body control and strength to use his shoulder to push off defenders for the and 1 is perfect IT4 is a little lion.

[@yt_7117]

He really know how to use the body to layup.so nice. His step is also Great. Treat Frist and score

[@cubanlink2401]

Crazy layup package

[@SuperLlamaJuice]

Definitely my favourite player to watch.

[@tyh4180]

Love IT. The most disrespected person in the league

[@blake32griffinfan]

underrated

[@Hakimw21]

Celtics looking like a top 3 seed next season

[@ttv_cards8133]

Top 2 if Durant comes.

[@Hakimw21]

cArDiNaTiOn420 fam id be so mad if he went to boston

[@jaymarcus5786]

Fam that boi went to GSW

[@LeftHookLegend]

we was top 1 bro

[@richfishing92]

He's got that mid-air pop down packed for the and1 haha

[@amazinggrace3292]

xcitin 2 watch,so graceful moves

[@MS-tz1ml]

@5:33 He does a bunch of hook shots. That seems like a really useful move for a small guy. If a 5-9 player can do it to DeAndre Jordan, there are no limits.

[@nght6446]

8:44 look at the speed lol

[@amateruss]

Nice, I have 2 guys to root for now. D Rose and I Thomas.

[@rjmariano4511]

Could you make a kemba walker vid of his stepbacks and just separation in general that man is a beast

[@goatkyrieyt6147]

GOATED

[@jasonnewman8442]

Love the finishing vids keep up the good work!

[@cesararnold1]

Fantastic carrier

[@bballislife7158]

His vertical seems lowkey insane

[@al-muwaffaq341]

Rasual Butler 40 inch vert

[@youngiverson6228]

Beast

[@jimmyrhoades651]

Evin, I love these videos. I use them to study moves and break them down to teach our players here. Can you make Durant Hesitation/Hesitation Cross mix

[@mattchildofficial9640]

his small size gives him the advantage to get And1

[@ktaymeb]

Can you put up Paul millsap highlights? He's extremely underrated

[@EvinGualberto]

I will definitely do one of Paul. If I can, I'll do two separate videos, one for offense, one for defense, because he's one of my favorite defenders to watch.

[@VitalArtIsLove1111]

Victor oladipo Skilled shooter

[@user-fb3kh5zf7h]

atlantic division the best in the nba also isaiah is a beast this coming from a sixers fan

[@wikibeijing]

I presume the only thumb down was given by somebody who doesn't like ZERO. Although Thomas is short, he is pretty strong and enjoys body contact with big centers.

[@usogui8699]

yes

[@justinjames12jjjj]

Do Isaiah Thomas sharpshooter or Al Jefferson Postup Powerhouse

[@joshyanson]

Can you do Shaun Livingston Premier Passer?

[@Dalitszz]

Do Avery Bradley defensive Dynamo 2015/2016

[@jfkssniper1759]

Can you make a 15/16 Fantastic Finisher for Kyrie?

[@justinjames12jjjj]

Do a CP3 Defensive Dynamo 15/16.

[@jakesalas764]

5:44 !!!

[@OneAnOnIy]

Are you still working on that Andre Roberson defensive video?

[@EvinGualberto]

Yup. But like I keep saying, getting full clips of defense is MUCH more difficult than getting offense stuff, so it'll be out when it's ready

[@OneAnOnIy]

+Evin Gualberto Yeah, I remember you saying defense takes longer and is more difficult. Thanks for replying.

[@cam10allday]

+Evin Gualberto Lebron James or Russell Westbrook coast to coast please

[@naodemehari245]

+Evin Gualberto Shaun Livingston or Michael Beasley mid range maestro would be nice.

[@BrowBros]

first. good video

[@nanox4]

How many times he shitted on Draymond? Sweet. Great video.

[@lifewasgiventous1614]

His center of gravity is low compared to the bigs, let’s him be more shifty and change direction on a dime.

[@deontaesims8250]

Classic

[@celticbird2398]

Isaiah reminds me a little of AI. Not as good of course, but still reminds me of him

[@theevster3413]

now he's on iversons level!

[@jdthakid2]

aw nice

[@sunnydhaliwal4403]

1:02 jab step finish

[@9thirtyyg573]

Fast as shit

[@WinterWaits97]

As a Celtics fan, he carried a lot lol but he 5’9” so the refs let him live 😂☘️

[@felix_remmie6048]

2:54 that’s carrying. If you look closely he carries every other basket.

[@ballinboxer3676]

everybody tweet this vid @kd lol

[@hallokity123]

Nahh he content with Curry

[@GamerStar-kk3bo]

Did anybody notice Isaiah Thomas can get steals but he can’t play post or perimeter

[@roadtonba5150]

😂 u dont say,, how can he post up when he's undersized

[@jerrychristian8237]

he is better than any body even sthephen curry

[@tbflakes2315]

Low key he misses a lot of open guys. Some of it is height, but other ones are so blatantly bad lol.

[@jaezryl]

Very shifty player.

[@kevinsullivan5913]

Does he ever fnish with his right ??? Make him go right he can't

[@ThaDreamMerchant]

He finished quite a few times with the right

[@TheFRESH116]

Kevin Sullivan yeah none of these professional basketball players thought of that. You're a genius

[@claimattacol8525]

Why nba want to sideline Thomas? that’s why I hate sports like nba always no chance to prove yourself when bad news surface . ! Actually American sports are discrimination on issues ,behavior Upon all these players issues , behavior and others they played in football Balotteli Adrian mutu
