Lebron James Says The Celtics Already Have A Star In Isaiah Thomas

[mr. dee]

Right now I think it would be difficult to argue that, other than Calvin Murphy, there has ever been a more skilled offensive player under 6' than Isaiah Thomas.   Of course, that presumes Iverson was 6 feet.   IT is definitely a star in my book  -- a guy who can carry his team to a home win v. the Heat in December.  But he's not a superstar who can carry his team to a championship v. Cleveland and Golden State in May.

Name 3 players that can? I'll spot you LeBron and Curry. Name just one other. Thanks in advance.

Lebron would instantly turn any team into contenders. Im not sure about Curry. It took them years to draft Klay, Barnes and Green, then trade for Bogut and Lee and sign Iguodala before they become contenders.

If we want to compete, better not feed our players some egos like they are "Superstars" until they win one or more rings.

Curry needed Klay and Draymond. Lebron needed Wade, Bosh, Kyrie ans Tristan Thompson to get over the hump.

Even Mike Needed Pippen and Bird needed Mchale and Parish.

Scottie would be a nice addition to this Celtics roster.

Lebron carries a Championship with him, wherever he goes. He's demonstrated that a couple of times. Have Championship, Will Travel. Remember that TV show, Have Gun, Will Travel? Lebron is the Gun.

Of course, he gets a little help, which is easy to get once he is on your team.

Jesus Christ, the poor guy would probably asked to be waived.

Offensively, Isaiah this season has been better than peak Iverson.  There, I said it.
