When 14-year-old Robbie McNulty saw someone walking towards him on a playground in Cambridge, Massachusetts, last week, he didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary. The man looked a lot like the usual hoopsters he might encounter while getting up shots at St. Peter's Park.
A closer inspection revealed it was actually Boston Celtics 5-foot-9 All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas, who asked McNulty if he could shoot with him for a bit.
Thomas' random act of kindness went viral this weekend after a story about the encounter appeared in the Boston Globe.
