Wayne Gretzky is one of those former athletes that supersedes his sport—“The Great One” is known as the best hockey player ever, and even athletes from other sports are starstruck when they meet Gretzky in person.
Isaiah Thomas learned that lesson on Monday, as the former point guard met Gretzky at The Winter Classic in Seattle. Thomas learned that Gretzky was attending the game for TNT’s coverage and knew he had to find the hockey legend.
“I gotta see him, I don’t even got to meet him, I just gotta see him,” Thomas told former NBA player Jamaal Crawford.
