LeBron praises Isaiah Thomas: He’s very special. A special guy. A special talent. Unique talent

LeBron James praised Isaiah Thomas for his 53-point performance in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Wizards.

Per Slam Online, “He’s very special. A special guy. A special talent. Unique talent.

“Yesterday being his sister’s birthday, I believe she was looking down on him and giving him everything and more.

“There was no way he was going to get tired last night. I saw that watching the game. She was looking down on him and giving him extra motivation, any little touch, any little spring.”

After the game, Thomas dedicated the performance to his sister.

“She would have been 23 today. Everything I do is for her. And she’s watching over me, so that’s all her,” he said.
