Kevin Garnett Says Isaiah Thomas in the ‘MVP Conversation’

Should Isaiah Thomas be in the “MVP conversation”? Kevin Garnett certainly thinks so.

The All-Star point guard was a guest on KG’s show Thursday night, and Garnett marveled at everything he does for the Boston Celtics.

Thomas is averaging a career-best 28.2 points and handing out 6.1 assists per game for the 24-15 C’s.

Per the Boston Herald:

Al Horfordā€™s eyes widened when asked about his mate.

 

ā€œHeā€™s been playing as impressive as Iā€™ve seen someone play,ā€ said the veteran big man whoā€™s been around the NBAā€™s block a few times. ā€œI mean, heā€™s been doing it consistently since heā€™s been back from that injury (strained groin early last month). Itā€™s just been amazing to watch how he just manages to keep doing it over and over.ā€

 

And donā€™t you dare think Thomas is caught off-guard by his late night theatrics. […] ā€œI mean, not to, like, sound cocky; I just … I feel itā€™s normal,ā€ he said. ā€œHonestly, I work on all those shots that I shoot, and when Iā€™m out there I know the fourth quarter is the time for me to be more aggressive. My teammates look for me to be that, and I just go out there with not a care in the world.ā€
