This is the obligatory public service announcement reminding everyone how Danny Ainge turned a $10 million trade exception into an all star.

Happy for IT.  He deserves it.

If this helps the Celtics get some more 'Star' calls from the Refs on Thomas' drives to the rim then this is good news.
Congrats

I'm really happy for Isaiah, he not only deserves to be an All-Star but I think he will really bring his energy to the game, which generally needs it.

And I don't want to get carried away but if he catches fire during the game and the East wins, he could very well be named MVP!

About as official as you get. Congrats IT! First All-Star since who, KG in 2013?

EDIT: And Rondo I guess, too, though I don't think he played in it. That's pretty sweet that it only took three years to get another All-Star.

Congrats IT!  My hunch was right - one of the last in probably, but he got in.

And congrats to the team - if we're 5 games under .500 instead of over, IT probably doesn't come close.  This was in many ways a reward for winning as well as IT's play.

Congrats to IT4.

And even bigger props to Danny Ainge.  So glad he is our GM.  He wanted IT4 as a free agent, and then traded very late 1st round pick for him.

Now we have an All-Star PG making half what Tristan Thompson makes, and a 3rd of what Demare Carrol makes.  What a trade.

Congrats, IT!!!!
