Isaiah Thomas is not losing hope he'll get another crack at the NBA. In fact, he is more confident than ever as he has stayed prepared whenever he gets the call.
Taking it to Twitter to respond to his doubters and haters thinking he is done and has no way back to the NBA, Thomas reminded them of his injury in 2017 when everybody thought it's over for him. Instead of giving up, he fought his way back and made contributions to the teams that signed him.
Haha if they thought I was moving in 2017 just wait till somebody give me a real chance. It’s a wrap!!! Better than I ever been RIGHT NOW!!!!! Marathon shit 🏁

Before his hip injury in the 2017 playoffs, Isaiah Thomas was one of the most explosive scorers in the NBA. Every Boston Celtics fan can probably still remember his “King of the Fourth” as a nod to his clutch gene when he took over games and led the Beantown team to shocking victories.
In the 2016-17 season, IT established himself as one of the best players in the NBA, averaging 28.9 points on 46.3 percent shooting. He has also always shown heart and grit, as proven by the fact that he still played for Boston's playoff game even after the death of his sister.
Thomas is the embodiment of dedication and love for the game, and he's not one to give up no matter what the circumstances are. After the Celtics, he has played for the Cavs, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards. In the 2020-21 season, he signed 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans and played briefly in three games.
Hopefully, though, IT gets another chance and show the NBA he can still be that elite scorer that everyone used to see.
