Maxey's bullet points; Defense, Mid-range, and …. I'm not sure. I know the mid-range thing is real because he mentioned that his Dad wanted him to focus on that part of his game.
Exactly, imagine if Embiid didn’t care about awards 8 yrs ago
I can't wait for the Sixers season to start so I can forget we even have an NFL team.
A good comment by Adem Bona about trust by the coach and players. I agree, Coach Nick Nurse do have some Glenn Rivers ways when it comes to veteran players. The sixers should not care about politics, it should be about winning.
OZEMPbiid SZN incoming?? 😆😆
Bona honestly should be playing …..I know it’s hard to tel but man Bona I can feel is great back up center
Contact mid range defense playmaking
15-20 lbs lost. Any weight off of him helps.
Defense
Playmaking
Midrange
Maxey working on D…finishing at rim through contact…and passing
Horford gonna be able to bully him even worse now…
Nick Nurse overated…gets credit for taking a Raptors team far, but 1st rd Exit with the MVP…
Ayo DJ why you got that early 2000s emo haircut man
Emo Eastwood today??
You can't load manage out injuries. He is either gonna get there healthy or not. The hope is he doesn't have to give the same effort every night at night to get a win because him and Maxey are the only two that can score. Hopefully the weight lost helps his knees
Thnx for giving Mutombo his flowers .. give em a 2min highlight video bro bro 😢
List at 275. He was probably heavier than that. He was probably around 300lbs. Losing 25 or 30 got him to his listed weight. I still doubt he lost that much
Maxey offseason worked on
– handles
-mid range
-defense
-change of pace
RIP DEKE….Love you, brother
Dj i lost 27lbs in the past 9 months to go from 177lb at 6'2" to 150 flat. Virtually nobody can tell that I've dropped weight. It's definitely possible
My hope is Maxey got better at:
1. Shot off of the dribble which is significantly lower then his shot off the catch.
2. His ability to break down defenders besides his lateral up and down speed.
3. That he locked down his layup package through contact.
He irons those points out and he is unstoppable
Sixers aside, the Bucks busting at the seams isn’t good for the NBA. Don’t we wanna see the sixers be tested and dominate the best version of the league?
congrats on 24k!!!
-Being a more aggressive playmaker. He was solid last season, actually borderline pretty good. There were roster limitations. But to get the most out of that position he needs to be a more confident passer. Even in tight windows. Just making sure to keep the pace up.
-Finishing around the rim. He was an elite finisher a couple of years, and his finishing numbers are solid but not at the height it used to be at.
-Mid range consistency. But we also saw him playing around in the post this summer and that’s exciting if he can punish guards every now and then.
-Deflections and steals. In the NBA today you need to be more disruptive than just staying in front. If Maxey can disrupt passing lanes more, it’ll increase his defensive impact on the game
Algo gang
You can lose weight while gaining or maintaining muscular body.
That happens when nutrition and fitness meet
We all know Joel was 300 he prob 280 now lol
Tyrese bullet points
-swole
-yoked
-jacked
20:34 says the guy who won’t shoot a basketball😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Milwaukee Bucks are toast
Maxey list is
Passing
Defense
Aggressiveness
Shot selection
I think bona is gonna be yabusele's replacement in two years
Is that bad that part of me just wants a chip so the embiid haters will stfu
I Think Maxey improved on Mid range, 3 pt shooting and defense
All we Need is for Pg to Stay and Be Regular season PG in the 4th quarter and deep in Playoffs…. Not Super Star Pg or even All Star PG. regular season. Keep it simple.
I feel like the Perfect Balance of the Big 3 … Embiid ( being more cerebral like joker, but 2 way a pacing himself). PG being PG and Maxey ascending.
IMO Embiid can average. 26ppg 11 rebs 2 blks 6asst , PG 23 ppg , and Maxey 28 ppg 9 asst …
First and foremost got to get that sickle Jersey! Why are these basketball, players pro basketball player so good friends! Because LeBron is a softie! That's why he want to play it with everybody instead of beating them!
Put some respect on K Oubre, he embodies Philly sports
Just can’t wait 😜
RIP Dikembe Mutombo
I know maxey talked about working on his mid range game so that's probably 1 bullet point, I think he also worked on his passing ability and facilitating plays. Definitely defense. And I'm not sure about the 4th one but maybe he continues to work on his 3 point shot since he drained 14 in a row at a shoot around recently
Yabasele is the starting power forward Nick Nurse said it without saying it 😮
I think Ben Simmons forgot he could play 😂
Joel was listed at 275 but according to sources was actually closer to 290-295. He probably lost 20 pounds which put him closer to his listed weight. If he could get to a legitimate 260, it would do wonders for his career.
