The last Celtics player to go on a run like the one Jayson Tatum is currently on was Isaiah Thomas in 2017 during his All-NBA second-team run that earned him a not-insignificant number of MVP votes.
Thomas — who is nearly a foot shorter than Tatum — had found a home with the rebuilding Celtics, and he led them through heartache and tragedy to the Eastern Conference finals in 2017 after his sister died in a car accident.
Thomas, who has been battling to get back into the league, seems to have found a little traction with the Hornets on a 10-day deal.
