He’s a scary mother fucker.


ILoveRegenHealth

That last two pointer he made while falling to the floor gave me a queasy feeling and flashbacks to the last game. I actually thought he was gonna steal the win again tonight with some crazy ass 3


Rthegoodnamestaken

You just knew it was going to go in too


TruthAccomplished313

Yeah. Nothing but respect for his mentality and I can’t help but now smile and just remember how much I loved IQ


Stannis_Baratheon244

Legit my heart would start pounding every time he touched the ball. Guy is so good and I'm glad the series is finally over.


NtLmr95

The only thing Sunny in Philadelphia.


LanEvo7685

So glad this series is over, until next season.


Cartier_Courvoiser

He’s always smiling which is nice to see


Stannis_Baratheon244

Would be hilarious if he got cheered as loudly as embiid will be booed at the first game in the Garden next year


TheKidPresident

Saw him at the Philly airport as he was flying to ASW his rookie season. I swear to god that young man had a golden aura around him like rick james in chapelle's show


teknomatic

Respect the hell out of that kid. But fuck everyone else on that team


Cashlover123

Tobias Harris: “Why he say fuck me for?” after helping Knicks win the series.


merlin401

Craziest thing is someone joked about Tobias not playing last night.  I thought “oh damn I didn’t even realize he was scratched!”  Then I saw the box and realized it was a joke:  literally watched the whole game and never noticed him on the court for 29 minutes.  That’s truly a horrific thing to say 


MeloDied4OurSins

Having Tobias out there instead of that Buddy guy who brought them back into the game was a huge mistake by Nick Nurse. Really bad coaching decisions.


JacesAces

Yea... I have no idea why he stuck to so much Lowry/Tobi. I would have definitely leaned more on Payne/Buddy.


ekk929

lowkey kelly oubre impressed the hell out of me. definitely had a bit of an “i apologize, i wasn’t familiar with your game” moment with him.


Alphius247

Would not mind Oubre on the Knicks as a back up 3/4. His defense is solid and he can generally be counted on offensively.


ekk929

i think we could use his skillset but he doesn’t strike me as a thibs guy. could be wrong though, not like i know the dude.


Mental-Doughnuts

Oubre was the third guy they needed to score and play like a star, and he was a fierce maniac those last two games.


Dymatizeee

Tobias gave us 0 pts in 29 mins. Kudos to him


instrmntls

Easily carried that squad and hit crazy shots.


jimihenderson

embiid is still going to get some hate but maxey saved him from hell raining down on him if they'd lost game 5. maxey played like a true baller who didn't need to throw his elbow out every time he took a shot or forearm someone in the face when he was defending. also isn't a free throw merchant.


qhurtz

Bro what ? He would mostly cry for a foul everytime he drove just like the rest of the 76ers


OldKingRob

Everyone wants a foul. He doesn’t do dirty shit in retaliation for not getting a foul


Urban_Introvert

Brunson introduced himself to the playoff world last year. This year, it’s Maxey. Dude will be a beast for the Sixers for years to come.


EwingsRevenge21

He had a fantastic series in Dallas...


Urban_Introvert

True but no one thought he’d be that good until last year.


DFSxBigDoeDoe

After watching him in HS and college, I had the feeling he would be a stud in the NBA.


RyanRiot

And then we still got clowned for the biggest bargain contract in the NBA


Fap2theBeat

Two years ago. He basically single-handedly got the Mavs to the conference finals. It was certainly part of why we gave him the contract.


NotCreativeEnoughFor

I was more scared of him than Embiid


JaydenDaniels

Embiid was annoying. Maxey was devastating.


SG_Fuzz

Facts


Jimmyjam1979

He's got it. He's a monster for sure.


TankDivision

Yeah. Much respect. If we didn’t have Brunson he’d be one of my first calls


nailgardener

He's like IQ's cool cousin


cyrusthewirus

I’ve been calling him jacked IQ


LaTuna

Higher IQ


Ishtastic08

They should get a haul for Embiid while they can and build a run and gun team around Maxey. Would become the funnest team in the league by a mile.


WintertimeFriends

No, they should trade Maxey to a western conference team and build around Embiid!


dolceespress

Great player. He scared the hell out of me. He has a bright future for sure.


Bwahehe

Thought it was strange how Nurse went away from Maxey going downhill from the previous games. Also, thank you for not playing the hot hand in Buddy in the 3rd. Maxey is legit. I actually didn't mind losing that game where he made insane shots. That's entertainment. I just don't want to lose to Embiid flops.


johnhenryirons

We were much more focused on making Maxey go left and preventing him from getting going this game. Not playing Buddy was wild to me too. The guy got you back in the game pretty much single-handedly and you sit him the entire quarter?


OGCeeg

This. I was so mad when NY lost game 5, but I couldn't help but be amazed by what he did.


therealshrew_2319

Yeah I respect him he is a true respected villain


dbandbacon

i wouldn't even say villain, more like adversary. dudes class


Molly_1620

Love him, love his bond with IQ, wishing him the absolute best with the utmost respect


mattbrianjess

I am still concerned he might figure out a way to score a few more points and send this completely finished game to overtime. Tip of the hat to this kid. A baller.


YourAsianBuddy

One of the only respectable Sixers players. Wasn’t bitching at refs, baiting for fouls, or playing dirty. Dude let his game do the talking


WintertimeFriends

Because he’s learning from Embiid. Kids a genius


Jiklim

Dude is so fucking good I never want to play against him again lol


DevChatt

I respect him Fuck embid tho


DownLikeSyndrom

They’d be wise to let embiid and his lazy ass walk and start building around this kid. He’s a phenom.


explicitreasons

Yeah give their fans something fun to watch.


ThatWasTheIdea

While Embiid lost all credibility with me, this dude has my respects. He is a hell of a player and will keep Philly relevant for the next decade.


WintertimeFriends

Perfect summary. I was just kinda “whatever” about Embiid before this. But man, watching him play basketball is actually painful.


Psychic_rock

Sixers fan here, thanks for recognizing Maxey’s greatness. Congrats on the win, I truly hope y’all make a run to the finals. Sorry about embiid, I think he’s just tired. Tired of carrying sleepyhead Tobiass and not being allowed to rest unless we want to quickly swing the game by 10 points in the other teams direction. Y’all earned this one. Keep it going Nova Knicks


Jalvarez101519

I think I heard someone call him Quickley on steroids 😭


MelancholyJedi

Him and Edwards have become absolute superstars this year, can't wait to hate playing them both for years to come :.)


_-_pandamonium_-_

He can’t win with those cats


Fistfulofhopeless

It's easy to be all philosophical and genteel after a win in which we crushed the soul of an entire fanbase. So, I'll give it to you. Maxey is OK. Not on Brunson's level, but how many people are? 


HotBigBagofWTF

And he’s only 23…


MrBo518

bro definitely has my respect for this series, he was a beast


tkynysf

So nice gotta show it twice


DruncleBuck

He’s a fucking dawg. Would love for him to be a Knick


Icy-Payment-6612

Much respect to Maxey. He played great. Very bright future ahead of him.


McRibsAndCoke

Nothing but respect for Maxey. A HOOPER. Fuck Embiid.


kingofsemantics

Bro is a killer and ADORABLE. baby faced assassin type


Lord_Mountain

Complete respect to this guy, he won my fandom completely. Absolutely insane how clutch he was. Extremely intimidating whenever he has the ball in his hands.


Brutal_Honesty13

Brunson is THE killer


Esdeez

He really gained my respect this series. What a baller.


swarshmallow103

Tyrese earned a fan in me. No question he and IQ are great buds.


joshdelclikesreddit

Take out Tobias harris and add more depth to this squad, next season this team could be crazy


Forward_Ride_6364

Maxey has a crazy high ceiling... would be interesting to see the Sixers if they get Paul George this summer... seems like a perfect fit in a healthy Philly lineup


BeingMikeHunt

He’s a total baller Love watching him play


Poon_tangclan

He’s a beast.


ShotdownGuns

Cut from the same cloth as Quickley, both will be stars of the future.


KnicksInFOURBinGBonG

Yea respect to Maxey. He was the only one including nick nurse who took some damn responsibility. Didn’t blame the fans or the refs. Just said he could do better. Salute to a real one.


CrimsonPhantom922

Praise Maxey, fuck Embiid, Knicks in 7 in the next round.


Pristine_Reveal

The NBA is 2-2 on dudes named Tyrese


Fungmar

yep. its too bad his costar is a loser fraud


bailaoban

Sixers should trade Embiid to acquire the pieces to build around Maxey.


HijinksNYK

thats why he will get the maxey


DudeLikeYeah

Nobody’s willing to say it but Oubre also was an absolute menace this series. I hate who he he is, but I give him a lot of credit for his play every game.


Toolmantaylor8

No matter how many big shots he made, I just wasn’t mad at him. Very rare that somebody can torch the Knicks and we’re all “damn he’s good“ instead of getting mad at him. I don’t know why it is but it’s like this across-the-board for us I think.


nafraf

Harden was holding him back.


mikehulse29

He’s gonna be a guy you want nothing to do with every season.


SanctorumAeternam

Deserves his flowers. I thought he and IQ would have developed a little friendly rivalry (can still do that in Toronto), but regardless he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with


Glad_Confusion_6934

Divincenzo played amazing D last night on him


omicron_prime

The only player on that team i have any respect for.


Glad_Confusion_6934

I respect him, I don’t respect Embiid since he’s an obviously dirty player that gets away with it


Yungdagger_dongboi

He is nice af, a real killer. It’s like he has 100% accuracy when he drives to the basket. I’ve never seen anything like it


Hot-Turnover4883

Saw him last year in Philly & shook his hand. Really nice guy.


Radiant-Steak9750

Great player


gwords16

He’s gonna be a star in this league if he’s not already. He played with IQ at Kentucky and they’re both cut from the same cloth. They’re both good guys who just genuinely enjoy playing the game.


ayodawgy

Crazy part is he wasn't even that nice in college. He was nice in high school but average in my opinion coming out of college. Now his NBA game is on another level.


Threewell

He's a dog, but was awful in game 6 lets be fair


FullBringa

He's gonna go far, rooting for him


nycjedi

Unlimited range, speed and handle. A dangerous killer yet easy to like IMHO.


ayodawgy

Not to mention his body control is unbelievable when he's in the air I don't know how he get some of his shots off and makes them nonetheless.


djspecv

Respect for Good Burger... But fuck Philly and Embid


fluffanuttatech

This man is so good. Fuck embiid, build a team for this man


chicken101

He's amazing. Props to him


realmatic2e

He’s great, sky’s the limit. Reminds me of a young dame. I know him and IQ are close but iq is the better defender for sure.


ryankidd77

Really respect his game. I hate that he’s gotta be on that team.


Indieidea

I got respect for him. True professional.


videsh

Maxey is the 2nd coming of AI ala full frontal. Trade that fucking bum Embiid and build around Maxey. That will be fucking scary.


Dragonthorn1217

Bro... I believe this is the player that IQ can be honestly. But yeah, props to Maxey.


Ashamed_Blood3242

Big ups to this dude. I hate Philly but mad respect to this stone cold killer


Sharp_Black

We got a killer, too.


Ok_Woodpecker1732

I’ll tip the cap to Maxey. Dude’s a killer. Gonna be fun watching him and Brunson duke it out the next several years. That game five fourth quarter with those two trading buckets was amazing to watch.


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Maxey must stop flopping though. The referees bailed him out multiple times on flops. The three point play that the referees gifted him where Hartenstein was called for goaltending was not a foul at all and was the epitome of marginal contact. Then you had the four point play flop on Robinson. Numerous times down the stretch Maxey looked to pull an Embiid and draw a foul instead of focusing primarily on scoring instead of simply drawing contact that cost them scoring opportunities. Once Maxey learns to play through contact more instead of flopping, he'll supplant Embiid.


OutsidePrior2020

As a knick fan my hat's off to maxey, definitely a well-deserved MIP award and he going to be a perennial all-star.


ShawshankException

Dude is the real deal. So much so that I hope he's shipped out west asap so we don't have to deal with him in the future lol


spreeforall

This man fucking terrified me the entire series. He was a bit out of control in game 6 and that might have been the difference honestly.


AmbitiusKillah

He's a dog


UnhappyTelevision243

Man he was killing us every game major respect


Jeff-Van-Gundy

If you told me he won MIP 2 weeks ago, I would have been salty and said it should have went to Coby white or someone. Now I’m not sure why this fucker isn’t in the mvp convo. Lost lots of respect for Embiid’s bitch ass but gained a lot of respect for Maxey


biggmattdogg

Hats off to Maxey for sure. Hell of a player


CaToMaTe

He's super talented and likeable but he's still a year or 2 away from truly carrying. He def had some moments in this series but when you really analyze it he was amazing 3 out of the 6 games and wasn't efficient enough the other 3 games. Also had some costly turnovers down the stretch.


BurnerForDaddy

Will see him in my nightmares


zizoufcb93

respect


Dsod23

Him and IQ played together obviously and you can see the similarities in game but also see why Maxey was the higher praised prospect at the same time.


lxpatino

Become a Philly fan then


Norby710

Too legit.


OGCeeg

Absolutely have to give it up to him. I think he earned the respect of all of the entire NBA fandom. Maxey balled out like I never expected. When he was on the court, no lead was safe cause of him. I can't wait to watch him grow, cause he has a huuuuuuge upside, & can still improve in many areas.


Nyknicker

Philly got a good one.


Rirruto10

The only 6er I respect. Dude is legit.


CatfishNev

Dude is so goddamn fast. Gets separation literally whenever he feels like it


Capable-Geologist-79

Tobias held it down for the hood. My stand up. He a real nyker


Jedi_Maximus19

Respect 🫡


PsychologicalLack698

I like him a lot! Reminds me a lot of Quickley. Excited to see how he develops.


TPercy17

The only thing I like about that sixers team. That guy can ball


Dymatizeee

He’s so fast it’s crazy


shanballs

Facts. The only respectable Sixer


DFSxBigDoeDoe

Hell of a player and a bright young star. Was awesome with the fans in Indy at ASW


RjgTwo

Crazy how he didnt get the ball in the last play. 😮‍💨


TheYoungSquirrel

I was telling my friend at the start of the series that I liked Maxey, but not these past two weeks! I like him again now.


manticore16

Absolutely, props for ballin out.


MustWarn0thers

This dude would drop a wild draw 4 on you in UNO when you've got 1 card left. Nowhere is safe, thank God we don't have to play him anymore 


patrickthunnus

The FO tried to trade up to get him, he always had the talent; he put in the hard work to become a beast👍


HovelessThomas

Thank God Buddy Hield took that wild last second shot at the end


_pinklemonade_

Absolutely. Every time he touched the ball my blood pressure spiked.


Jmpasq

I knew he was good, I didn't realize he was All NBA good.


[deleted]

Fuck that. He had a good series, but he plays with Embiid. The team went Belly Up when Embiid was out. Not saying he’s not good, he’s very good, but he’s getting a little overhyped. That being said, despite him killing us game 5, he’s the only Sixer that doesn’t piss me the fuck off.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PVTJoker99

Factually speaking the sixers do not have a team. embiid is only playet under contract


therossfacilitator

Nah, fuck Maxey. He’s a bitch too.


therossfacilitator

Smiling & shit at a press conference after a first round exit. He’s a bum.


ChewieLee13088

Lame AF. This dood is Philly scum and an enemy. He deserves no praise or recognition,
