No. This a prime example of a stud in the g league 😂 He’s literally too great for the GLeague but not good enough to really be on an NBA roster. Therefore, he’s a stud GLEAGUE player. It’s clear as day.
Isaiah Thomas is an unfortunate example of falling thru the cracks, due to his size. His skills are obv too good for G league, but he’s a defensive liability in the NBA because he’s so small. You have 6’3” point guards who could just post him up every time and shoot over him. Others have to pick up his slack, and in a league as elite as the NBA there is no slack to give. I think as long as we recognize this we can give Isaiah Thomas the recognition he deserves.
@@mofethegreat he was the number one option on the celtics they built the team around him like how the hawks did with trae young just have some defenders around him to pick up the huge slack while they work on offense but problem now is he’ll be a role player and he can’t get valuable minutes as a role player if you’re such a defensive liability
The definition of "slow grind," thank you for being an inspiration for me big dawg, hope you get an actual NBA contract soon cuz you deserve it my guy 🏁💪
Just glad he’s still living the hoop dream Shout out to IT putting on for the #SHORTKINGS Shout out to Daniel Oturu #612 Shout out to Nik Stauskas #GOBLUE 〽️
IT needs to just play overseas he’d make a crazy amount of money and be loved by millions. I know his dream is to be in the nba but business wise he should go overseas
@@keimahnee bruh what. He can have all the heart in the world he’s to small to guard your average PG and can’t switch on defense, simple has nothing to do with heart
rooting for this brotha so much, was so happy when the lakers picked him up but can't front it was his fault he didnt stay on he was shooting horrendous except that first game
Total disrespect to a man that has proven beyond his potential to play in the NBA . He is a legit caliber NBA player why disrespect him and put him in the g league???
i wonder how it feels for him to play infront of all those empty seats when just some years ago he played like an mvp infront of thousands of people, love that he still is not giving up on his nba journey yet n doesn’t care how hard he has to train or where he is and will always keep grinding
He's 33 years old and is a liability on the defensive end with him only being 5'9. Not many teams want to invest in a player who's getting older and won't step up on the defensive side of the ball. Most teams have their go-to guy at this point anyway so teams are probably better off to develop younger players than having IT play. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is.
his scoring was trash tho when lakers had him on a 10 day contract he had 1 good game and the rest was 1-11 type games yall get hyped when he drop 40+ in g league bt everytime he come to the NBA its none of that

This is a guy who also dropped 52 in the nba, not just anybody can do that. He was a defense liability but i think dudes like curry arent really known for d either. Klay had to gaurd kyrie in the 2016 finals.
Curry isn’t know for D but he can definitely hold his own (especially this season). Kyrie is the same as well. But IT is a complete liability on defense. His scoring will always be elite but when you see him on the defensive end other players attack him at the rim almost every time.
yeah curry 6"3 and actually had one of the highest defensive ratings this year and also led the league in steals and a underated rebounder I.T can't do none of that
Why people question why he isnt in the league?he is 5”9 and it is a liability on defense. He is a great player but the defense is what kills teams. A offensive player can shoot over him and or back him down easily.
Trae Young? It’s not about defense bro. It’s about his production, if he was averaging 29 ppg like in 2016 they wouldn’t care about defense just like the league don’t care that Trae Young plays no D
Nobody really plays defense or really post up anymore. Trae young is the worst defender in the league they just protect him and have him guard the offensive player who's the least threat. IT just isn't what he once was after the injury. This 5'9 liability on defense was an MVP level candidate when surrounded by the right pieces before injury.
This is disrespectful to a Legend that has proved over and over because he went through Andre had the bounce back hard and never gave up and y'all do the man like this y'all got to stop praising these corporations they don't give a fuk about the fans the players no one but their pockets
@@adingdingdiiing6740 first of all lebron is only 4 inches taller than steph. Second of all lebron would definitely smoke steph. Third 5’10 to 6’6 is an 8 inch difference not 7. Fourth its not just 8 inches because taller people also have longer arms so its more like 16 inch difference.
@@a-1134 I wasn't reall trying to use them as specific examples. I was initially going to say Gobert and Curry. The point I was trying to make was a small player outplaying a taller player isn't something new. Now if that small player is consistently beating you for rebounds, that becomes a problem.
Looks very embarrassing IT breaks down tall monsters and scores like he's 6'2 . I must admit it's funny watching him pull up threes on taller people 😂😂😂😂
Bro. It’s never been about his offense. Idk why they show offensive highlights and act like he can’t score… it’s his defense and his track record for being hurt. That’s it. Maybe his size. But with that scoring who cares. He just can’t stay healthy or guard anyone.
Bro why y’all keep saying this..g league is obviously where he belongs cause when he gets a chance to do it in the NBA he don’t, do y’all not realize this is the highest level he can compete at before he just looks useless on the court?? Please stop this bs he not what he use to be, he’s cold but he’s not that level anymore.
Dude is LITERALLY too good for the GLeague, but not good enough to be a solid player on an NBA roster lol So since there’s no in between the GLeague and the NBA, he’s CLEARLY where he needs to be. End of story.
Nah he needs to go overseas maybe euroleague, has high comp, the best are nba/g league standard, they produced top nba players like Luka and they pay stars well, G league is paying no bills, if hes not going back to the nba he needs to dip
Ppl Keep saying Why I.T aint In the NBA??🤦🤦🤦 Maybe Bc He can Dominate G league Players bt Get dominated by NBA Players and His Scoring Inconsistent He Hasn't Been Elite Since Boston He had one Good game With Lakers on A 10 Day contract the rest was 1-11 etc While being a complete defensive liabilty
IT SHOULD have PANGOS spot on the Cavs bench as DG insurance. IT with 3 7footers !!!! And Okoro .... to bounce back from missing DG you’d still have hope as a Cavs fan.
Man Idk why no one is giving this dude a chance he is a literal walking bucket, I know he's size an him not being good on the defensive isn't good for him but I'm sure other's can pick up that slack.
@@IcemanFabian yea but picking up the slack dont help…as players no one wants to work twice as hard for one player…plus one weakness in the defense can ruin the entire defense
He’s 2 short to be in the nba and it’s fax you got 6’6 guards blocking his shit out the air. I bet you at Golden state tryouts HE WAS GETTING fucked up 😕 and I’m from Seattle BUT IT ain’t going no where he only going get 10 day contracts HE IS 5’8 😭 LIKE WHO TF IN THE NBA NEED THAT

If you want to keep contact with a brother in Christ i’ll keep contact with you. The love of God is beyond our understanding. God bless.
