At a time when many old-school NBA stars tend to diss current players and the style of today’s game, it’s rather refreshing to hear Hall-of-Famer Isaiah Thomas heap praise upon Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
“We concede,” he tells the Warriors’ guards in the early moments of a new NBA TV special. “We know we ain’t the best shooters!”
Thomas and his old backcourt mate, Joe Dumars, sit down with Curry and Thompson for a lively, hourlong conversation during “Splash Brothers & Bad Boys.” The latest “Players Only” program airs at 10:30 p.m. Dec. 26, the day after the Warriors meet the Lakers in a highly anticipated Christmas clash.
