The Boston Celtics are in Toronto on Wednesday to meet the Raptors and, if Isaiah Thomas has his way, he'll sacrifice a bit of his February vacation in order to trek back there for the 2016 All-Star Game.
There is little reason to belabor Thomas' All-Star case based on his offensive numbers. The 5-foot-9 point guard is averaging career bests at 21.8 points and 6.6 assists per game. The only other players in the league averaging 21-plus points and six-plus assists are former All-Stars in Stephen Curry, James Harden, LeBron James, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, and Kyle Lowry.
