Isaiah Thomas is good for the game of basketball.

Just watch the former Washington Huskies standout now with the Washington Wizards interact with this young fan named Nashayla, who was attending her first NBA contest.

He enjoyed the moment. She'll never forget it. Everybody wins.

The Wizards caught the encounter on video and tweeted it. We share it here.
