Isaiah Thomas has played 12 seasons in the NBA.

He is coming off a year where he appeared in six games for the Phoenix Suns.

Thomas is most known for his incredible two-and-half-year run with the Boston Celtics.

Recently, he shared a heartfelt quote about playing for the franchise (via Knuckleheads Podcast).

Thomas: "The feeling playing for the Celtics is amazing. And then the love you get. The love that I get to this day, you would think I won a championship there, you would think I had a 10-year career there. The love is I can't even describe it... You would think my jersey is retired in them stands... You gotta put on that Celtics jersey to appreciate the energy and love that that city gives you."
