NBA CSI: Watch Suns' Isaiah Thomas Live Dream to Be a Detective for a Day

Isaiah Thomas has a new NBA home this year, and the city of Phoenix welcomed him by offering him the chance to try his dream job.

Watch our day with the Phoenix Police Department, which treated the Suns point guard to a day of learning about what really happens in crime laboratories. We even put him through a lie detector test.

Before signing with the Suns, Thomas told me he loved the CSI TV series and had always wanted to be a detective. This video shows what it might look like if Detective Thomas had gone that route instead of living the NBA life.
