Isaiah Thomas Breaks Down His Celtics Playoff Runs

About this episode

Isaiah Thomas reflects on his playoff experiences with the Celtics and shares personal memories from his childhood.

We're in the thick of the 2026 playoffs so this week we wanted to take a little trip down memory lane. In his three years on the Celtics, I.T. went to the playoffs every season, battling some of the greatest teams of the iconic late 2010's era: the John Wall / Bradley Beal Wizards, the Dwyane Wade / Jimmy Butler Bulls, and of course the prime LeBron / Kyrie Cavs. I.T. breaks down the highs and lows of each run, including a fun fact you probably never knew involving 13 hours of dental surgery. We end things by looking back at some of I.T.'s favorite playoff memories from childhood – the Shaq & Kobe Lakers, prime Allen Iverson, and more.  Have a question for I.T.? Drop us a comment on YouTube or social and you might just be featured on next week's show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
