  • Isaiah Thomas is in the running for the best sub-6-foot player of all time. Putting up nearly 29 points a game at 9 inches less than the average NBA counterpart, he had perfected some very special qualities. Check out what they are, and how you can add them to your game.

    Don't see why y'all love to hate on a 5'9" dude who was drafted with the last pick and has worked his way up to second team All-NBA and 29PPG... 🤷‍♂️ You got to respect the dude!

      By Any Means Basketball Dude. Is that really why you dont like him? Just cause Fred Hoiberg complained about Isiah doing things that every player in the league does? Two of the worst carriers are the freaking Bulls! (Wade and Rondo)

    • @smokingterd53
      @smokingterd53 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Max Durk I have no opinion on him as a person, so I cant say I dont like him. The only thing I dont like is how he carries, theres a big difference between doing a hesitation and carrying, I respect him as a person, I respect his work ethic, his determination, but I don't respect him blatantly carrying. There are times where he literally brings the ball up with his hand from a still position during a hesitation and then back down into a dribble, its just simply not allowed and wether the NBA calls it or not its still wrong. As for Wade and Rondo, I'm not a bulls fan, nor am I a Wade or Rondo fan so I honestly cant say on their part but if they do the same then I have no reason to only give IT some disrespect, its just that he BLATANTLY does it

    This was an amazing breakdown! Isaiah's game is a science and how he's managed to perfect it to his advantage despite being undersized is just remarkable. I wish growing up I could have studied his style of play instead of watching so many tall players who were just naturally athletic. THIS right here is the key to any player who wants to be successful under 6'0". Isaiah has revolutionized the game for us who live at a normal height and love to ball. 🙏 🙏 🙏

      What you just said is exactly why he was exile from the brotherhood... I mean league. Yall noticed they had to get a 5'9" player on the pistons just to match up with I.T. The NBA is a business. Like a circus. If your main attraction 6'6" acrobatic circus monstars were getting destroyed by a 5'9" skilled mighty mouse player it's going to influence future generations and the NBA players will get shorter and shorter because tall people will realize how openly universal the game of basketball is.
      In sports the low man wins and with a man that low crafty and explosive I.T. was a different monster that was hard to beat. Plus he couldnt mentally break him either it was hard until, They actually broke him with that hip injury. Game wasn't the same. It was all planned. They were never gonna let a 5'9" beast take over the league. Bad for business. When you piss of lebron KD and a coach calls you "unguardable" saying you blatantly carry... you know you're getting watched left and right for future security of the business.

    Short guard, quick, his moves are very professional and efficient. He could move his support hand toward the ball on a hesitation, leaving the defender wondering if he's going to shoot. Instead he puts his arm out to ward off defender hands. He has excellent sense of offensive space to get off a clean shot. If taller he'd be amazing, it would help his defense a lot too. Oooh, I like that catch & dribble way out in front to avoid defenders from behind. That's so simple and good. He's very impressive.
