Isaiah Thomas exploded for 53 points in game 2 versus the Wizards which occurred on his sister’s birthday, and only a few days after his sister was laid to rest in Tacoma, Washington. Thomas has received an outpouring of support from fans, fellow players, and athletes from other sports, and Kobe Bryant was among the list of notables.
Isaiah Thomas took full advantage of his time with Kobe and it soon evolved into game film sessions, where Kobe helped Isaiah breakdown game situations.

Isaiah Thomas scoring 53 points in a playoff game after spending some time with the one of the all time great players, just adds to the legend that is Kobe Bryant. If Thomas has another big game in game 3, then let the Kobe Bryant coaching speculation begin.
