Tyrese Maxey gets emotional speaking to Joel Embiid: “Big fella… You were the first person to really believe in me… Just walking onto the plane, you telling me to sit there, you bringing me a PlayStation… That meant the world to me… I hope I’m not going to let you down.”

  1. Imagine he brought Maxey an Xbox. Would probably feel disrespected instead

    Too bad Tyrese is with New Balance cause PG could certainly get him some PlayStation PGs

  3. Sixers really hit it out of the park when they picked him up.

    Maxey has always been such a genuine dude! 

  5. Definitely one of the most likeable NBA players and maaaaaaan can he play.

    One thing will reign true. A way to a man’s heart is his gaming system.

    I remember hearing Doc talk about Maxey, he said he radiates joy and is always happy. He seems like an awesome teammate, Embiid is very lucky they stumbled into Maxey after the Simmons disaster.

    Maxey being so good at such a young age and also being very likeable…it just feels so not Sixers like.

    The best ad Sony could possibly ask for from the NBA

    Kind of crazy that in 10 years, the best part about the process after Embiid was not either of their number 1 draft picks, but an undersized combo guard dude drafted mid round. Maxey is absolutely electric

    I knew Ben Simmons run in Philly was over when Maxey dropped that random 40 ball as a rook. He knew his spot was took. Maxey a certified bucket fr fr

    Come on Tyrese stand up against Greg Berhalter already

  13. that’s awesome man

    really love Tyrese as a person and a player

  14. kritikal_thought

    Why do Embiids teammates always seem to like him? I thought he was a terrible leader who blames everybody…

  15. shotcaIler

    Every fiber in my being is trying to find a way to hate this cause it’s Sixers but I fucking love Maxey man

  16. throwawayjoeyboots

    Not a single comment in here complementing Embiid which was the point of the quote. Only Maxey lmao.

    Stay corny r/nba

    What’s crazy is that Maxey will be Embiid’s 2nd or 3rd longest tenured teammate by games played together by the end of the season. Only Tobias (aka the devil), Furk (Turkish wonder) and Ben Simmons (aka the other devil) have played more games with Embiid to this point.

    We have been good the last 6+ years but we also have had like 4 different iterations of teams since 2017-2018. Win or lose, I hope just Embiid and Maxey stick in Philly for a long time.

    As a Toronto fan, I have a complicated relationship with Embid and the sixers

    but this kid Maxey

    man he’s something else

    humility and skillset on another level

  19. BigFatModeraterFupa
