We don’t get to see a 5’9 baller like Isaiah Thomas dropping MVP numbers in the NBA lately. It has been a long time, but we might see someone similar very soon a few years down the lane, and it will be none other than Jaiden Thomas. We often saw the 11-year-old in postgame conferences along with his dad around 8-9 years back. Well, the innocent times are over and now he is a game changer just like his old man. A viral clip of him recreating his dad’s iconic move has got the attention of former NBA veteran Jamal Crawford and he had some promising words for the youngster. 

Jaiden Thomas is not too tall for an 11-year-old. It looks like he has acquired his dad’s genes, but he also got the game. America has created a platform for kids like Jaiden to start playing at a very young age. In the recent clips shared, the left-hand baller drove from the baseline to the free throw, only to hit a cold hesi and spin around towards the basket. Fans instantly reminisced Thomas’ times at the Boston Celtics. 

3-time 6MOTY Jamal Crawford was left in awe and shared the clip to his Instagram story. He added, “@isaiahthomas ik you are a dad, but please tell Lil J, his uncle Mal said how tough this was”. There are no more questions. J-Crossover himself has approved Jaiden.

Fans reminisce about Isiah Thomas but have concerns about Jaiden Thomas’ future 

Although the quick moves gave memorable moments, fans fear that Jaiden Thomas might end up just like his dad. Isiah Thomas was one of the best scorers in the league during his MVP-level season. Despite an amazing offensive production, his height was not favorable for defense at all. Basically, he was easily replaceable, and that is exactly what happened later in his career.

Jaiden Thomas might also face something similar. Fans believe he doesn’t look too tall enough for an 11-year-old. Anyhow, there is a long way to go, and he is not even a teenager yet. Netizens are rooting for the youngster and want him to add some height so that he can have a better career than his dad. Some fans commented, “I pray he get to 6”0” and “Hopefully he doesn’t turn out like me and can’t go to the league because of his height”.
