Last year, Riley Curry stole the show. 

This year's playoffs are still just getting underway, but the NBA already has a new high-scoring star with some adorable public relations help.

Isaiah Thomas, who stands at just 5 foot 9, scored 28 points for the Boston Celtics on Sunday night to help his team tie its first round series against Atlanta Haws at two games apiece. Then, in the post-game press conference, his two young sons stole the show. 

Watch the clip above as young James and Jaiden have a ball with the podium microphones -- even declaring their dad "the greatest basketball player." 

The Celtics and Hawks meet again on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. EST.
