Never Forget Isaiah Thomas' Magical 2016-17 Season! | GOAT SZN

IDC what anyone says, dude was 5'9 and was a top scorer in the NBA. Thats incredible in itself. Magical season this was!

People act like this was a fluke. Dude was a pure bucket and they threw everything at him. I love Kyrie but even the celtics tryna replace him with Kyrie was a fail...

[@trollking4058]

It worked, but the next season Hayward came back, Tatum, Brown, Morris, and Rozier tried to do more than the offense required, and Kyrie just wasn't gonna change his style of play to accommodate that. Even Kemba isn't working out with them rn.

Nah IT had an incredible season that year but Kyrie is and was just the better player, it's a shame how the media turned against Kyrie after he was injured a couple times and addressed the media in the way he does now, which looking back was ahead of its time and gave players way more freedom to be themselves nowadays. And Celtics fans bought those shit narratives and turned against Kyrie aswell, they had NO patience with him, that's why he left lol

Best point guard ever... Underrated. Love frm Manila

[@newthrash1221]

Easiest man to root for, regardless of your team. I would love to see an ESPN 30 for 30 on Thomas. His possible MVP year was nuts, and this is coming from a Lakers fan.

[@Yungteasipppppa]

He’s my favorite celtic since KG and I’m a lakers fan too

[@tradeka4206]

Remember when he got his career high in points and had 0 assists in that game and people were hating on him for it and then the next game he went out and got 15 assists? IT was something else in Boston, I miss this season. The team has made deeper runs since Isaiah but this was the most exciting Celtics season in a long time. I wish he never got injured

[@Easyasdede]

I watched so much basketball in my life time and call me crazy but I honestly haven’t see a better 4th quarter scorer then Isaiah. It always seemed like he couldn’t miss

[@Christopher._M]

I didn't follow him every game but from what i saw i have to agree with you. I can only think of 2 or three other players who were as great as him in the 4th.

[@W.orld.Breaker]

I’ll never forget what he did as a Celtic fan. Gotta give Brad Stevens his props as well. Great coaches will always put you in position to be successful. I don’t think IT would have played as well under any other coach.

[@russpayton6149]

Brad Stevens is overrated

[@rainbowwarrior176]

BRAD IS A GREAT COACH BUT PERHAPS A BIT OVERRATED. ISAIAH WOULD PRODUCE LIKE THIS NO MATTER WHO IS THE COACH JUST AS LONG AS HES GIVEN THE MINUTES AND OPPORTUNITY. HE AVERAGED 20 AND 6 FOR SACRAMENTO AND KILLED WITH PHOENIX BOTH PRIOR TO BRAD.

[@Grind2Excellence]

Brad Stevens didn’t do shit

[@W.orld.Breaker]

Those are your opinions and you are entitled to that. But the facts show IT was not a 27 PPG scorer his whole career. No other coached maximized his skill set better than Brad. He came off the bench for every team and played fewer minutes. Was NOT an all-star caliber player on no other roster and you cannot argue that. I think I just see things differently because I have experienced what’s it is like to play under multiple coaches who both good, average, and terrible😂! I can see how you guys would say he is overrated based upon these last couple seasons but there are variables that you should consider. He doesn’t deserve disrespect. At some point you gotta stop hating and give him credit for what he HAS accomplished!

[@arriandixon7709]

If you lead your team in points & assist and your under 6 foot you deserve the #IsiahThomasAward period 💪🏾💯

IT utilises the three ball and those wide finishes, all what makes him so successful as a 5’9 guard 🔥🔥🔥

[@imkurisuchan]

How he leads the Celtics throughout the playoffs back in 2016-17 season was so underrated. Nothing expects a 60th pick to be in the MVP conversation at that time. But because of injuries casually destroying some player's careers, people now have probably forgotten how good Isaiah Thomas actually is. The saying "heart over height" was proven true by the Mr. Fourth Quarter himself. Boston really did IT dirty man, they didn't let him prove himself once more time and I feel devastated about that seeing the Celtics replacing him with Kyrie is an absolute failure.

[@bbryant9455]

as a fan of the game, that shit with his sister still hurt when you think about it. made you root even harder for him that year.
