Isaiah Thomas is a very lovable player thanks to his size compared to other NBA All-Stars. To be able to do the things he does at just five foot nine is just remarkable and for many younger fans brings back memories of Allen Iverson, another diminutive point guard.

Of course part of that is because Thomas has been very vocal about being inspired by Iverson, who he once called the best pound-for-pound player ever after meeting the Sixers legend at the All-Star Game this season. So it had to be pretty cool for Thomas when Iverson signed a jersey for him with a pretty great compliment from The Answer:

It looks like Iverson personalized the autograph with “To: A Real Killa” which is amazing. To get Iverson, a pretty clutch player in his own right, to think of you in that way is really great.

One thing that Thomas has always made sure to express is how he does not take anything for granted so I am sure this is something that really touched him, especially since Iverson is one of the few people in basketball who can really appreciate what Thomas has to overcome.
