Fans also reflected on Thomas’ incredible NBA legacy, particularly his unforgettable run with the Boston Celtics. A two-time All-Star, Thomas led the Celtics to the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals, showcasing his unstoppable scoring prowess. As @azmatlanba highlighted, “IT’s scoring back in 2017 was so unstoppable (34% Usage with 113 TS+) that team sometimes sent multiples players to slow him down.
