Look: Isaiah encounters Brinks truck after 52-point game
The Brinks truck has come early for Isaiah Thomas.
Many players received fat new paychecks this summer in light of the salary-cap boom, and Thomas is expecting to earn a lot of dough in 2018 when he's set to become an unrestricted free agent.
"They better bring out the Brinks truck," the Boston Celtics point guard said in July. "They're paying everybody else. I gotta get something."
On Friday, the All-Star put up a career-high 52 points and set a franchise record with 29 points in the fourth quarter of Boston's 117-114 victory over the Miami Heat.
