Isaiah Thomas Wants to Meet Tom Brady, Pick Brain 'About Winning Championships'

Thomas DuffyMar 8, 2016

Isaiah Thomas has a long way to go before he is to basketball what Tom Brady is to football.

But the 5'9" Boston Celtics All-Star wants to meet the New England Patriots quarterback and "pick his brain" about what it takes to win at the highest level.

Per ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg:

"

I got the chance to talk to Kobe. I'm real good friends with Floyd Mayweather, so I get to pick guys-like-that's brains. I just would like to sit down and actually meet [Brady] and also just pick his brain about winning championships and how he goes about his day, how he prepares. I like his preparation to everything.

"

According to Forsberg, Thomas "smiled wide" when someone brought up similarities between the two.

After the Sacramento Kings drafted him 60th overall in 2011, the 27-year-old bounced around before becoming a full-on star with the promising Celtics.

"I just want to grow," Thomas said. "Not just being a basketball player but being a leader in all aspects, all facets of the game. And why not learn from the best?"
