What is small in the NBA?
Isaiah Thomas...
Pretty darn good player with the Pistons.
I think they won back-to-back titles.
Small guard, best team.
Steph Curry, was he small?
I don't know.
Compared to who, Magic Johnson?
I mean, Steph Curry has transformed the NBA.
The only unanimous MVP in league history.
Now, I don't have the NBA combine measurements for Curry versus Brunson.
I don't know what the line of demarcation is for small.
But, I mean, Isaiah Thomas.
You got Steph Curry.
Now, Kyrie Irving is a small guard.
Obviously, LeBron was the finals MVP.
I think LeBron would tell you Kyrie hit the biggest shot in that series.
Kyrie, I believe, had 40 and LeBron had 41 in that game six or game five win when they were down 31.
I'm pretty sure.
So we've got a history of small guards doing things in the finals and leading teams to victory.
