Isaiah Thomas is used to breaking down barriers and proving doubters wrong as the rare 5’9″ human being to make the NBA.
The newly anointed all-star perseveres through his shortcomings (literally) by using his quickness, craftiness and desire to score around the rim among actual modern day giants.
He proved he can elevate every now and then and not only score over one of these giants, but also get up and deny them at the rim, as he did by blocking 6’11” DeMarcus Cousins alley oop attempt in the Celtics 128-119 win over the Kings on Sunday.
