Share this: Isaiah Thomas has had a fantastic season. The All-Star point guard has piloted the Boston Celtics to the No.1 spot in the Eastern Conference while leading the league in fourth-quarter scoring. And during the Celtics’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Thomas added another accolade to his incredible season. Thomas scored 20 points during the first half and with the final two points, he eclipsed the 2,000 point mark for the season. He joined some impressive company, as he became just the sixth Celtic to break that mark in a single season. Larry Bird (four times), Paul Pierce (four times), John Havlicek (twice), Sam Jones (once) and Kevin McHale (once) also reached the milestone during their time in Boston. It’s been quite a year for Thomas. Thumbnail

Mark Wahlberg, Diddy Bet $250K On Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao (Videos)
Mark Wahlberg believes in Manny Pacquiao. Diddy believes in Floyd Mayweather. They’re both so confident, in fact, they’re each willing to risk $ 250,000 on their guy.
