Watch: Isaiah says he's been getting tips from Kobe

Isaiah Thomas has some big names in his corner during his emotional playoff stretch. A day after his 53-point performance on what would have been his late sister's birthday, the Boston Celtics star divulged he's been sharing notes of late with Kobe Bryant.

"Mentally, he's on a different level than anyone I've ever met," Thomas told reporters of Bryant on Wednesday. "He made me figure out a lot of things. He reached out on behalf of my sister."
