Isaiah Thomas Claims Kid Pulled AK-47 On Him & Didn’t Shoot Because He Recognized Him

In a harrowing encounter that underscores the escalating gun violence in America, NBA player Isaiah Thomas faced what could have been a life-ending moment.

The Phoenix Suns guard reported an incident where he was confronted by a young individual wielding an AK-47. The situation, which occurred in Thomas’ hometown of Tacoma, Washington, took a fortunate turn when the assailant recognized the basketball star and decided not to shoot.

Thomas, who has been a prominent figure in the Greater Seattle basketball scene, took to social media to share the chilling experience. He expressed his shock at the boldness of today’s youth, carrying such deadly weapons and being ready to use them. The posts, however, were later deleted, leaving fans and the community to ponder the gravity of the situation.
