Isaiah Thomas is heading into his fifth NBA season, by this time he has at the very least made a name for himself. But unluckily for him, that name is a little too close to another great who once played his sport.
Off a year where he sparked the Celtics and almost won 6th Man of the Year, Thomas has proven to be one of the most effective undersized players the league has seen. He’s a unique talent and a relentless worker, but apparently it still isn't enough for some basketball fans.
Through it all Thomas still can’t seem to escape the notoriety of his name, prominently close to NBA legend and Hall of Fame inductee Isiah Thomas.
