Isaiah Thomas is going to be in HOF as well as the last IT. I'm not a Celtics fan, but I tune in to Celtics games just because I'm a fan of IT. He's got that oldskool HEART.
This shit is a real sports story What are the chances some guy makes a bet during the nba finals pistons VS lakers that he'll name his son Isaiah Thomas if they lose, and then he ends up being one of the 450 best basketball players in the world haha
@@nicoduran98 yeah, there was no bet involved in that but, you have less chance of being the heavyweight champ of the world than being an NBA player so that's even more of a gift for him and his dad
When the Kings drafted Isaiah Thomas at the 2nd round 30th pick, Isaiah said he was walking home to his grandma's house during draft night and he did not know he was drafted. Props for the Kings for giving this guy a chance otherwise no team would have given him a chance.
Nah I think he said "this is what it is".. Pointing at Isaiah and saying that him destroying the league right now, is what makes him happy being Allen Iverson (who is the dude that all of these short guys looked up to)..
It makes him happy to be who he is because of his basketball career, he gets to see young kids grow into superstars, asking him to sign they jerseys... everyone always try to do AI like that but just end up taking him out of context tryna make him sound dumb or high
when you sent your entire career being told how much better you'd be if you were bigger. Having to justify being the best player on your team forever,then spend the rest of your prime as trade bait. Thats sweet irony when iverson is watching IT
Its because their both small bro, AI being the original small guard, to IT being that new generation. So AI's like yomp, this is what I paved the way for.
Yeah.. Right after he called him a midget before everybody else and Isaiah was laughed at. Isaiah has more class in his pinky finger than the whole of AI's body. No wonder he didn't get a ring and was bounced around from one team to another about halfway in his career. Great athlete, but a narcissistic illiterate cancer to have for any serious contending team.
I love AI, he is one of my favorite players of all time, but stop it, he's not the GOAT. We all know who that titles belongs to. Now It's IT's time to shine and he is having a nice time terrorizing much bigger players.
Isiah Thomas the baddest ball handler of 'em all!! I wasn't a Piston fan, but, it's hard to compare a more prolific duo than Joe Dumars and Isiah Thomas of their day!
Best part of whole video is him talking about Iberian averaging 28 points a game for whole career, then last line of video "I gotta get better". The Answer = Inspiration to Greatness
Like many people, I shook my head over and over and said "What!?" while watching TV when I heard the name Isaiah Thomas when he was playing for the University of Washington. I immediately assumed that he may have been Isiah's son. When a fellow fan told me he was not, I continued to watch the game with awe as IT continued to drain big bucket after big bucket down the stretch of that PAC-10 game I was watching. I said to one of my buddies after IT helped UW win that game....Isaiah will be a solid pro one day. My buddy didn't believe in Isaiah's hype. I'm glad Isaiah's making it in the NBA.
Even though these guys are not related they both are small guys with Huge Hearts...Both of these Guys are Fearless and cannot be intimidated on the court...
Best under 5'10" player in NBA history. Awesome success story! He has ice in his veins and one of the biggest hearts in the NBA. You don't have to be a Celtics fan to love this guy.
I love it..Man I thought that was ur Dad..But I'm happy for u Mom and Dad..Whats up AI..man I would buy ur shoes for my kids..Man those were good days..
Isaiah Thomas belongs in Boston. Where hard work and determination will get you praise from the city because that is what Boston is all about. That underdog mentality just like Brady.
With the history Isiah Thomas has with the Celtics. It is kind of ironic that Isaiah Thomas, who was named after him is now a Celtic. :O) Damn, its really cool to hear it from the source. IT mentioned his conversations with AI, and what a great player AI thinks he is. Its different hearing it from the Answer himself. That was pretty awesome man. "Ay look, look. This is what it is right here. You know what I mean. Like, this is what made me so happy, about me being me. Cus little killaz like that, grow up, to be the real killaz. You know what I mean. This is it right here man. This is the future baby. This the future, straight like that." Its great to see the relationship, and admiration that IT & the Answer have for each other. Words & moments like that can be very powerful, and make a big impression on somebody. I wouldn't be surprised if its part of the catalyst of why IT is having such a tremendous, and career year, this year. I'm sure players like AI, were a huge inspiration to IT, making him want to play the game, and made him think that he can play at the NBA level. I always enjoyed watching AI play, and he was an inspiration for me too. It was really cool to see that.
Yo I admit I've been caught up on football because of how much the game has changed, but Allen Iverson was one of the greatest things that happened to the NBA in a sense that he was always trying to make sense but in his own way. The dude has a lot if people that looked up to him and we was a really good guy misunderstood he was a kid.
Isaiah, his mom, and his dad all just came on and said that Isaiah got his name due to a collection of a lost bet. Then Isiah follows with how he's knows Isaiah and his story, he's been following him since Washington, and how he's honored that someone could identify with his play his life in such a way to name their sun after him. Somebody didn't check the final version
Like Isiah said in 1:40 to 1:52 Paraphrasing, the fact the someone knew about his game at all to name his kid after him. He knows that it was a bet, but the fact the Isaiah's father knew about him at all that is why he is honored.
Isaiah Thomas is a monster for Boston and the future is bright for him. But it's almost not fair to compare his game/career to A.I. and the other Isiah Thomas. They played in different eras where it's easier for a small guy now. The spacing and ticky tack foul calls make it easier for the 5'9"s' to do their thing. I wish I could see A.I. play in today's league with his handles and hops that he had. But no doubt...Isaiah is the future.
"U know he averaged 28 pts avgame for his career.ohh ii gotta get better" I like that.
Well he's averaging like 29 this season. So he's on his way.
Greysen Gagné lol, yeah... only 15 more years to go.
actually its 26.7
his last 4 years lowered his average a lot
xstanz - right! at one point he was on point to beat MJ's career average over over 30 pts, those last few years really hurt AI unfortunately :/
he averaged 29 in the playoffs.. 2nd best to Jordan
Isaiah Thomas is going to be in HOF as well as the last IT. I'm not a Celtics fan, but I tune in to Celtics games just because I'm a fan of IT. He's got that oldskool HEART.
Alex The Scented Man I agree
Watch the Cavs now?😂😂😂😂
This shit is a real sports story
What are the chances some guy makes a bet during the nba finals pistons VS lakers that he'll name his son Isaiah Thomas if they lose, and then he ends up being one of the 450 best basketball players in the world haha
@@stevens1-o7s Have you ever heard of Tyson Fury?
@@nicoduran98 yeah, there was no bet involved in that but, you have less chance of being the heavyweight champ of the world than being an NBA player so that's even more of a gift for him and his dad
isaiah thomas will be a legend in this league just like the original isiah thomas
King Dami yeah maybe even better I see him winning a championship
finnese Kid L

King Dami stop it
Mikami151515 and
happy to see Allen. God bless him.
"It is what it is right here, you know what I mean, like, this is what make me happy about me being me" - yeah I got ya bro
tc yeah bro was high as fuck. Lmao

A I. Always high lol
Word high off life as he should be. A.I. that dude.
Just imagine how good he would have been if he didn't waste so much time (and money) partying, drinking, smoking weed, etc
bruh have you seen thomas's eyes before some games??? Theyre red asf sometimes
A.I. didn't smoke weed.
MrThekidisback. yes he did he got arrested for it before
penny you better than ESPN classic
Iverson said" hell yeah i'll sign your stuff"...my man
Yeah.. Right after he called him a midget before everybody else and Isaiah was laughed at. Isaiah has more class in his pinky finger than the whole of AI's body.

That's what you call a legacy you left for the kids, AI.
R.I.P Chyna Thomas
AI & IT look like they are brothers
Goood Goood they don't even look alike. cause they black?
Rascism, not in my comment section
the comment ref that’s a flagrant racist
Goood Goood they actually look similar tho but it’s just brotherhood:)
Nice to see MEN ADMIRE eachother in this manner. #BLACKMENJOY
Man this kid has ambition....to ball like he has and still say I gotta get better...it's inspirational!
Has ambition?? Where he is now??
As a native of Detroit and obvious fan of the bad boys, I always wondered if his name was a coincidence. there's so much to this video. haha
As a Celtics fan, I'm so happy to see how he has taken the spotlight Boston provides and has ran with it. What a Legend
I love this guy! How does he do it? To be an all-star every year at his height is beyond me, just amazing! And AI is the goat
I love AI, he is one of my favorite players of all time, but stop it, he's not the GOAT. We all know who that titles belongs to. Now It's IT's time to shine and he is having a nice time terrorizing much bigger players.
Duc Luc He's my favorite all time to watch. If he was 6'5..... he would have been unstoppable.
Fred Crider III it wouldn't even be fair
I like to see players give each other respect especially black dudes!! 👍🏀🏆🎥
I'm not gon front, I dead thought he was Isiah Thomas' son. 😕😕😕😕😕
Naim Shakur probably everybody did
Me too! 😀
Naim Shakur ........me too.....he looks like Isaiah Thomas too. I thought that was his son.
Naim Shakur when I first heard of him
Naim Shakur me too
3 legends in 1 footage! Cmoon isaiah!!! Show to the world who u are!
this made me smile one I T to another every time I see Allen I think of the great John Thompson
ai still hasn't aged one bit xD
Detroit/Boston in the 80's was so lit man 😭😭
Isiah Thomas the baddest ball handler of 'em all!! I wasn't a Piston fan, but, it's hard to compare a more prolific duo than Joe Dumars and Isiah Thomas of their day!
Allen Iverson is probably the coolest player to talk too
I love see Killers give RESPECT to killers.
I wanna see the younger Isaiah play for Piston Detroit
probably the only NBA jersey i would ever wear? im noy into wearing another mans name but that that throwback is dead exceptional
I like the way ai said "hell yea"
You could tell that made IT day
Great job penny on that. one bro
Iverson career avg was actually 26.7...but whos counting
Discount those two shitty seasons due to coaches and AI's own problems and he was averaging like 30
Omar Scruggs Lillard averaged 29.8 still ain't an all star .. but who is counting..
Doublelift Wannabe lol who even is that
Omar Scruggs 😂
His stats say he averaged 30 and 5
"Damn I gotta get better" what's realer than that
A.I putting VA on the map ma nigga!! #prayers4isaiah
Iverson has madd hood respect Reminds me of a retired goon from my old block. Tru legend
damn. thomas played a few miles from my home and never saw him play when he was in highschool.
Glenn Hackworth You played with the 9-10 year old kids. Isaiah Thomas played with the pros.
not while he was in school.. all I said is that he was local.

This was so cool... He's humble, I hope he stays that way
Even though these guys are not related they both are small guys with Huge Hearts...Both of these Guys are Fearless and cannot be intimidated on the court...
Thomas a real one y'all peep that soccer game on the screen at the hotel room tho 👌🏽
Got my sixers jersey signed by him also at embassy suites hampton VA😊😊.. see him almost everyday... shout to his main man PETE👏👏👏..
Iverson a real one. Real recognize real
It's funny to think tat he plays for the celtics
donkor thomas it would be funny if he played for the lakers, or for the Pistons themselves
I LOVE THIS ! He just seems soooooo humbled and excited !
Love the fact Isiah Snr is so well spoken considering he's really a hood
Iverson is like that cool OG uncle that be showing mad love. Them long a** hugs talkin about “you be great Youngblood”
When them two standing next to one and other my mind instantly went to "Father and Son day out"
I met allen many times even did security for his events. 100 💯 amazing guy. Virginia strong
Isiah is always smiling, such a positive guy I love it
I love the fact he was watching Mexico play.. Now I'm definitely a fan ✊🏼
it's almost midnight...i watched ONE Iverson vid... a hour later, I'm here. I need to go to bed...
Damn Allen Iverson is such a good guy. Got nothing but love and respect for him
Best under 5'10" player in NBA history. Awesome success story! He has ice in his veins and one of the biggest hearts in the NBA. You don't have to be a Celtics fan to love this guy.
his smile reminds me of Desean Jackson when he's got the cap on as AI talks about "...the future"
I watched the last 3 minutes of this video a hundred times and could watch it 100 more AI THE GOAT
HIs dad seems like a cool dude.
he's the future
cit.
3:05 That laugh
the starting cartoon character remind me the time AI keep saying practice not the game we talking practice am i the only one...?
I love it..Man I thought that was ur Dad..But I'm happy for u Mom and Dad..Whats up AI..man I would buy ur shoes for my kids..Man those were good days..
Thank you for this great story.
these doods blessed man..
is funny how we look at them like short people but in reality they are the same size as the rest of us. Smh
Well I'm 6'3 and iverson 6ft and Isaiah thomas is 5'10? Shorter than me
@@artisticskillz01 good for you man
Bruh, A.I. ignored me when I asked for an autograph at the Cumberland mall in Marietta, GA. SMH

Nehemiah Bruh I've been to that mall.
He's so humble man...

Great mindset...I have to get better,love it
Isaiah Thomas belongs in Boston. Where hard work and determination will get you praise from the city because that is what Boston is all about. That underdog mentality just like Brady.

Player to Player,Pimp to Pimp,Killa to Killa
Thomas is the real deal, I worked with that dude when he was in Sacramento. Shooting every day before games, nicest guy ever.
What's the name of the documentary? Is it from NBA? ESPN? Isaiah's Channel? Thank youu!
Saludos Jordi,te encontré por aquí jajaja.
It and OG It are good dudes.
Much respect
He at Lakers right now which is the team that started all of this (along with the Pistons of course)
I'm rooting for this guy.
Ah Isaiah did you even hear the story he was named Isaiah Thomas because his father lost a bet. So why are you honored? lol
Mobays because he's living up to that name
Because OG Isiah Thomas dope game made it all possible
i think if you re watch the video you will not miss why he said he was so honored
Like Isiah said in 1:40 to 1:52 Paraphrasing, the fact the someone knew about his game at all to name his kid after him. He knows that it was a bet, but the fact the Isaiah's father knew about him at all that is why he is honored.
MrKofi Haynes who didn't know who Isiah Thomas was??
another great player, Isiah Thomas ... some great NBA players that are an average size 5'9 in height are great role models ...
awesome
I Actually thought that was Isiah Thomas son because they look just alike!!!
IT that's my guy!!! Goo Boston!!!
mad respect for not thinking about his ego when asking for the autograph
That man said, "I Gotta Get Better". -!!!!!!
Humbling when other successful players Honor and respect other bigger successful LEGIONS.
This video is truly dope!!!
Isaiah Thomas is a monster for Boston and the future is bright for him. But it's almost not fair to compare his game/career to A.I. and the other Isiah Thomas.
