Back before this season started, Isaiah Thomas stated that he had goals to be the greatest "little guy" of all-time.

This week he took a step forward in achieving that dream as he tied the record for the shortest player ever to make an All-Star team.

Houston Rockets legend Calvin Murphy was the other 5'9" guard to make it. He was selected to one All-Star game in 1979. Isaiah, however, wants to make this an annual thing:

"I guess I’m going in the right direction, but I’m not satisfied. I expect those types of things out of myself, and I think when you hold yourself to a higher standard, things that happen, you just go with the flow.
