Isaiah Thomas on Leading Boston to #1 Seed, Selected Last in Draft, Recovering from Injury & More

We got a Seattle legend on the show this week as Isaiah Thomas joins Q and D on Knuckleheads. The scrappy guard looks back on dominating hoops despite his height, who he looked up to in Seattle, and what it was like putting on a show at the University of Washington. IT discusses his NBA journey from last pick in the 2011 draft to superstar on the Celtics. He also talks about his injury, the long recovery process, and working to get back in the league. Tune in!
