Casual fans may not realize it, but Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas is really good. Don't let his diminutive stature fool you.There is a reason he was selected to the 2016 NBA All-Star Game.
On Thursday night against the Bucks, Thomas dropped one of the nicest dimes of the season. After crossing up Michael Carter-Williams, Thomas threw a cross-court, behind-the-back pass to Jae Crowder, who casually sunk a 3-pointer from the corner.

Following the game, Carter-Williams was effusive in praise. "That was an unbelievable pass," he told reporters. "He's an all-star and he definitely showed why."
Thomas finished with 27 points and seven assists in the Celtics' 112-107 victory and earned himself a spot in the top plays of the night and possibly the entire season.
