Isiah Thomas is an undisputed NBA legend. The Bad Boys Detroit Pistons will always be remembered as one of the most stoppable teams. He was a vital part of the team. One more thing that will always be remembered is Isiah’s enmity towards Michael Jordan.

The fans of both sides take the front seat whenever either of them appears in the media in any capacity. The same happened when Isiah Thomas made the case for Devin Booker in the race for the MVP this season. And given that Isiah makes the case on someone’s behalf, it is fair enough to consider the argument.

Devin Booker has been brilliant for the Phoenix Suns. It will be fair to say that for the best record in the league of 60-14, Devin deserves a lot of credit for Suns’ success. Isiah thinks he has done enough to be in the MVP contention. However, as usual, not all the fans agree with him.

Isiah Thomas makes massive MVP claim and creates a storm

Isiah shared a tweet from StatMuse which showed the stats from the league over the years with players having the average of 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5, assists with .800 record or better and how most of them had won the MVP in that season. Isaiah used the tweet to put emphasis on the fact, ‘that’s how it goes’.

The fans had mixed views and reactions just as usual on Twitter.

There are only a few players who have had a similar impact this season. Despite Book’s impressive season, the MVP contention seems like a three horse race. Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo make the top three in the latest ranking in that very order and deservedly so. Nikola averages 26.2, 13.5, 7.9. Joel has an average of 29.8, 11.3, 4.3. Whereas Giannis averages 29.7, 11.6, 5.8. Devin Booker has averaged 26.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 63 games this season.
