Isaiah Thomas took to social media to remind fans of his impressive skills during his time with the Boston Celtics. He shared a video of his highlights from the 2016-17 season, which showcased his ability to score effortlessly despite his 5’9″ frame.
Zeke’s tenure with the C’s was marked by his impressive scoring ability, particularly in the fourth quarter, thus he earned the nickname “The King of the Fourth” for his tendency to take over games in the final minutes. Thomas’s ability to draw fouls and score from the mid-range and paint made him a polarizing figure in the league.
Hahahaha cookin they a**. All within the game too. None of that 100 dribbles to an iso.Isaiah Thomas wrote on X
Thomas’s social media post may have been a subtle dig at players who rely heavily on isolation plays to score. He emphasized his ability to score without excessive dribbling or isolation plays, showcasing his unique skill set. Despite his current status as a free agent, Thomas remains confident in his abilities and is seeking a team to sign with.
Despite his impressive skills, Thomas’s career was marked by injuries and trades. He played with an injured hip during the 2016-17 season and was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers the following year. Thomas bounced around the league for a few years before ultimately leaving the NBA. However, he recently signed a 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns, giving him another chance to revive his career.
Fans react to Isaiah Thomas’ throwback highlight
Isaiah Thomas reminded fans of his sharpshooting prowess when he made a highlight of himself go viral. Fans on social media then reacted with admiration as they were reminded of what could have been had he remained in optimal condition when he was at the peak of his career.
One user commented on how Zeke was able to normalize what he did despite his height disadvantage. He wrote: “I hate how normalized this is, no player below 6’0 ever reaching these heights again.” Here are some of the other reactions.
While most of the reaction talked about how leaving the Celtics and a couple of untimely injuries ruined his career, it’s fair to say that Zeke was a fine baller during his prime. Although his current status sees him as a free agent, fans remain hopeful that Thomas will find a new team and continue to dazzle and create more highlights on the court.
