Former Celtic Isaiah Thomas details experience of being a franchise player
Isaiah Thomas spent two and a half seasons with the Boston Celtics between 2015 and 2017. During his short tenure playing for Brad Stevens, Thomas quickly established himself as the face of the franchise, earning himself two All-Star selections as a result.
Despite his diminutive size, Thomas became a larger-than-life presence for the Celtics. He played with an indomitable will to win, leading him to prove himself as one of the most fearless scorers in the NBA. Unfortunately, a hip injury led the Celtics to trade Thomas to the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of the deal that sent Kyrie Irving to Boston.
During a recent episode of "The Knuckleheads" podcast, Thomas discussed the experience of being the franchise player for the Celtics. He also detailed the pressure and privileges that came along with the role.
