NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas passes through Wellesley

Isiah Thomas, the great Detroit Pistons basketball point guard from the 1980s and 1990s, made an appearance at Roche Bros., in Wellesley this weekend.

Not to be confused with recent Boston Celtics player Isaiah Thomas, Isiah Thomas swung by Linden Square on Saturday to promote some champagne with which he’s affiilated.

The kind beverage you might like to drink when reliving Larry Bird’s most famous steal, at the end of Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference championship, off of a Thomas pass.
