It took nearly two full years, but Isaiah Thomas finally got his well deserved moment in the spotlight in front of the Boston faithful. And boy was it special.
For two minutes everyone in TD Garden stopped what they were doing and looked up to the jumbotron to give thanks and appreciate ‘The Little Guy’ that has become a major Celtics legend.
Players and coaches alike ended their timeout huddle early and observed as highlights of the scrappy point guard flashed across the screen. Wyc Grousbeck and Danny Ainge stood and applauded as the camera shifted to Isaiah watching with a giant grin on his face and tears welling in his eyes.
