After dropping 81 points in a Pro-Am league, Isaiah Thomas went emotional and broke down. He was crying in a corner saying that the NBA has gave up on him.

"These n**gas gave up on me. They gave up on me"


After having an MVP-like performance in 2016-2017 with the Boston Celtics where he averaged 28.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists on a very efficient 46/38/91 shooting splits, Thomas was traded by the Celtics to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017-2018 season.


Thomas went to play just 15 games with the Cavaliers and was immediately traded to the Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline. He played 17 games to finish the season averaging 15.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 5 assists. The following season, he signed with the Denver Nuggets where he just played limited minutes in just 15 games.

In 2019-2020 season, he played with the Washington Wizards where he got starter minutes as John Wall was still healing from his injuries. Thomas averaged 12.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 40/41/82 shooting splits as a starter with the Wizards. He was later traded to the Los Angeles Clippers before the trade deadline and was immediately waived by the team.

Since then, he has trouble finding an NBA team and just signed a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans last season where he played just 3 games. Thomas is still a free agent now.
