Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas takes basketball incredibly seriously. The 5'9” All-Star is a hard-working individual, as that work really paid off for him in the past. From being the last selection in the draft to an All-Star nod and playing Conference Finals with Boston, Thomas worked his way up. However, although he is very close to the top, the work does not stop.

Thomas' wife posted a very interesting Instagram story earlier in the week. As ESPN's Chris Foresberg reported, the picture was taken after midnight, and Thomas was watching game film.

Thomas lives and breaths basketball, so it did not surprise anyone that he is analyzing film, even in July. Thomas entered this league with a chip on his shoulder, and only hard work will eliminate that. He knows this, and that is why Isaiah is constantly pushing himself.

Thomas had an amazing season for the Boston Celtics. He averaged 28.9 points, 5.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game. He also shot 46.3 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from three-point land. More importantly, he led the squad to the best record in the Eastern Conference. His clutch performances were usually the difference between a close win and a close loss for the C's.
