Can Isaiah Thomas pull off a Tiny Archibald-like comeback this season?

Isaiah Thomas has a lot of fans - and many nay-sayers. "He's washed up." "Too old." "Too small." "Career is done." That is what we are hearing. Well, that is what many Celtics fans said when Nate "Tiny" Archibald came to the Celtics in 1978 at the age of 30 after suffering a torn Achilles. He proved them wrong.

His first season in Boston was not great, but his next three were. He orchestrated a Celtics team that won a Championship in 1981.
