Buckle up because NBA star Isaiah Thomas just shared a wild story that will have you on the edge of your seat. According to him, a kid wielding an AK-47 nearly shot and killed him. Yes, you read that right, an AK-47 in the hands of a kid.
At that moment, Thomas thought it was all over. He thought he was going to die at the hands of a kid with a powerful weapon. And what saved him was the fact that the kid recognized and knew who he was.
The two-time All-Star shared the terrifying story on X , although the post has since been deleted.
“Really trippin on how these young kids are moving around!!!”Thomas wrote. “I really had a life changing moment yesterday where a kid pulled an AK47 out on me and the homies and if it wasn’t for who I was and him recognizing me in my own city he probably woulda ended all of our lives. Be SAFE scary world we live in, stay safe out there.”
The basketball community was left stunned by Thomas’s account. The 35-year-old, known for his unforgettable tenure with the Boston Celtics and his relentless offensive prowess despite his small stature, is beloved by fans and peers alike. This close call with death underscores the increasingly dangerous environment even public figures can find themselves in.Â
Next time you watch Thomas making plays on the court, remember that he’s not just a basketball star – he’s also a survivor. And if that doesn’t make you respect him even more, I don’t know what will. Stay safe out there, folks.
