There was a fun bit of University of Washington nostalgia on social media this week.

First, there's an "X" account called "That Guy Rocked," which posts videos of people that are generally out of the public eye now.

On March 11 the featured video was of former Huskies big man Jon Brockman, who spent four years with the Huskies men's basketball program from 2005-2009.

Responding to the post was none other than former Huskies star Isaiah Thomas who called him the "best leader I ever been around!!"

You can watch nearly two minutes worth of great highlights below, re-living Brockman's excellent career on Montlake.

As mentioned, he spent four years in Seattle, starting 129 out of a possible 131 games. He averaged 13.8 ppg and 9.8 rebounds for his career, leading the Pac-10 in rebounding in each of his sophomore, junior and senior years. He also led in field goal percentage (55.0) as a sophomore.

A three-time All-Pac 10 selection, he was part of some of the best teams in UW history.

As a freshman, his team was 26-7 and earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Sweet 16, where they lost against No. 1 UConn.

As a sophomore, they went 19-13, missing the tournament.

As a junior, the Huskies were 16-17 and missed the tournament again.

As a senior, he went 26-9, earning a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the second round before a loss against No. 5 Purdue.

Brockman played 150 games over three seasons in the NBA, playing with the Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks. He averaged 2.1 points and 3.1 rebounds, playing 10.5 minutes per game.

Thomas spent three seasons with the Huskies, becoming one of the best scorers in program history. He started 104 of 105 career games, averaging 16.4 ppg. He also led the Pac-10 in assists per game (6.1) in his junior year.

He shot 42.6 percent from the floor and was 25th all-time for free-throws attempted in Pac-10 history.

Drafted with the last pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, Thomas spent 12 years in the NBA with the Kings, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks.

Don't let his end-of-career journey misrepresent the situation. Thomas was a great NBA player, and he was a star in Boston for three seasons. Loved because of his small stature and big heart, Thomas averaged 28.9 ppg his final season in Boston and he helped lead the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2016-17. 

Unfortunately, Thomas was injured in that run, setting off a chain reaction for the end of his career. The Celtics traded him to the Cavaliers in the misguided deal for Kyrie Irving and Thomas was never quite the same after the hip injury, which caused him to bounce around between 2017 and 2024. 

All told, he was a two-time All-Star and an All-NBA player. He averaged 17.5 ppg.
