Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas plays much bigger than his 5’ 9” stature might indicate. The shifty lefty with a nose for the basket starred at the University of Washington and seems to have found a permanent home in the NBA in Boston. He was an All-Star for the first time in 2015-16 when he averaged 22.2 points and 6.2 assists. Thus far in 2016-17, Thomas has jumped to the fifth highest scorer in the NBA at over 28 points per game, including a 52-point outburst to join Bird, McHale, Jones and Pierce as the only Celtics to eclipse the half century mark. He is a legitimate MVP candidate for the playoff-bound Celtics. Featured here is Thomas’ game-worn road jersey from Boston’s 128-122 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 3, 2016. Isaiah went off for 30 points and six dimes at the Q that night.
The green mesh shirt comes in size L2 with proper Adidas manufacturer's tagging and a Length +2" flag tag on the left front tail. Adjacent to the manufacturer's tag is the unique NBA Authentics tag coded "BCE 04762." Inside the left inseam are the washing instructions and "05/15" manufacturer’s date tag. The front of the jersey reads "BOSTON" in white tackle twill letters sewn directly onto the jersey. His uniform number "4" appears front and back with “THOMAS” on the upper back—all in white tackle twill—with the official NBA embroidered patch just above. The Celtics "17X" gold tag commemorating the team's 17 NBA titles appears on the rear collar. Thomas has signed the jersey in black marker on the back number. The shirt displays excellent wear with a strong odor of sweat from game action. It was obtained through an impeccable NBA source (must remain anonymous) who attests to Thomas signing the shirt in person after the game. It can be photo-matched to several Getty images.
