Really, Isiah Thomas?
The Hall of Fame guard decided to go on a rant on Friday night all about shirtless LeBron James, who was warming up for a game against the Houston Rockets. And Thomas wasn't a fan of seeing LeBron step on to an NBA court without a shirt.
"I just totally, 100 percent object to this," Thomas said on NBA TV. "If I was the GM or coach, I would never let one of my players walk out on the floor looking like this. I mean, we are professional, NBA league. We ain't Summer League. We ain't at the YMCA."
He went on to talk about how the "professionalism" has gone down so much.
"I totally 100% object to this ... the professionalism in our NBA league has diminished so much."

This is ridiculous. Imagine being GM Isiah Thomas and walking up to your best player and one of the NBA's greatest (Thomas once said he was better than Michael Jordan!) and telling him to warm up in a shirt. Let LeBron be LeBron and you'll continue to get that greatness!
But the thing is: no one cares if he warms up in a shirt or not. If he wanted to play the game shirtless? Different story.
I feel like I'm going on an Allen Iverson rant here. We're here talking about warmups! Not a game! WARM-UPS!
This is absurd and unnecessary.
