NBA Insider What if Kobe never got traded to the Lakers

[@veno2029]

NBA Insider what if Cleveland didn't win the lottery in 2003

[@kodak_blackglee]

NBA Insider Since you mentioned "biblical" you should make a video on the biblical names and narratives the NBA has been using. (Ex. King James, Warriors)

[@howsthechowder5863]

I remember when my dad told me about this story a couple years ago it was so cool and weird at the same time

[@crownzion]

His dad and his dads friend got into an arguement about who will win Isiah Thomas or Magic Johnson. His friend won so he got his name, but instead of Isiah they did Isaiah.

[@SMFCAWFAN]

I didn't even watch the video yet. He got it from a bet that his dad did in the 80's. Isiah Thomas from Detroit won the finals and IT's dad named him Isaiah Thomas off the bet he lost when it was Lakers-Pistons. IT's dad said Lakers were gonna win it. Who doesn't know this

[@ericd1590]

[@ratedpending]

I already know the story about Isaiah's name

[@edimujic5651]

hey nba insider where are u from? and btw u make nice vids from all the channels with nba stories i like urs and dom2k the most.

[@NBAInsider]

Im from Toronto my friend. I appreciate the love for the channel !

[@BobthePig]

Now when you look up "ISIAH Thomas", it auto corrects to the current Isaiah. Even Google is disrespectful to the older NBA legends - you literally can't look up this guys name now. :(

[@ViZiOMusic]

Just amazing

[@pumpkinhead7740]

His dad should've named him Bill Laimbeer.

[@pogibryant8069]

He's really the bad boy's son, they don't want you to know that. I mean it's obvious, he looks just like him. And looks nothing like the guy they say is his dad...

[@KoKO-pi5um]

Pogi Bryant he actually does look like his dad xD

[@joshuamilsaps1089]

i thought he was 6'0 not 5'9 but hey hes still good though hed drop me off

[@kingej7653]

I learned this from NBA 2k13

[@lllllllaLexlllllllll]

he gives hope to the shorties

[@walruz011]

I still find it crazy how 5'9 is a normal sized human being but in the NBA that's short as fuck.

[@anthonymunoz489]

I swear to god i thought pistons thomas was his real dad ..they look alike

[@hoopswithhandles6982]

He got his name from his parents! Holy crap

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

o shit i didn't know Isaiah Thomas the legend had 2 NBA championships

[@tommystrawnarm2810]

Hell I thought he was the son of the legend lol

[@CameronSnider3]

Tommy Strong same bruh 😂😂

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

[@kushchawla7445]

[@opalakia1566]

Isaiah is awesome at the 4th quarter and he wears the number 4. I am just saying

[@howardlee4528]

this is so sad now that isaiah thomas isn't as good anymore

[@qwer.tyuiop]

"This is the beginning" the end

[@360_will4]

I used to think Detroit Piston Isaiah Thomas and Celtics Isaiah Thomas were father and son they look alike a little bit

[@360_will4]

John Whiting who the fuck are you bitch ass nigga

[@DonJulio1942]

Will Reacts I did too lmao

[@nickonnecarlo]

i made a bet against my wife that if Kobe would score 40+ in his last game, I would name my son Kobe.....and Mamba got 60...hahahaha...

[@Davinhomx]

yeah, she did that to avoid confusion...cause she knew back then when her son was nit even one year old that he will be a basketball hall of famer and the people will be confused..

[@zackari1002]

[@user-lb7pt6jb3o]

"Nobody is scarier than Isaiah in 4th quarter" Almost all of Russell Westbrook's 4th quarter stats are better even though he only plays 8 minutes of 4th + as in typing this he got 21 points in 4th quarter yesterday

[@30Loaded]

Isaiah shoots straight up daggers though

[@Vawerewolf65]

[@marcos_2117]

Cuz his mom decided that's gonna be his name smh🤦‍♂️

[@johnguarino4096]

[@docsdomain]

Hopefully the Celtics will be smart enough to keep Thomas. Unlike the Kings and Suns.

[@elitekyrie8853]
