What do you think of the new backcourt pairing in Philadelphia? 🤔
Best backcourt right now
goated duo
vj edgecombe ROTY
The encouragement you provide always helps me see challenges with a more hopeful perspective 🍩☕
Ace Bailey’s agent is the best thing to happen to the Sixers. Give that man his 💐now.
Might just be watching the MVP and roty ball out together on the same team
Vj is what the process has been looking for. And Maxeys playmaking and leadership and overall game is so underrated with the way he can create space and shoot anywhere
dangerous duo
Without them who else will be there doing what they do it’s a team effort and I like what I’m seeing so far they wouldn’t even look RIGHT on any other team.
0:36 VJ is great and all, but that wasn't actually an attempt at block by Brown… that was a fake attempt at a block imo. not the first time i've seen Brown do that either. i can only assume Brown doesn't wanna be on a poster like that knowing he could be on the losing end. but giving up on plays is no way to lead or win games
STOP doing these thumbnails with multi-game stats. Fire whoever thought of this. It is misleading. Clickbait f*ckers
7:14 i love watching Maxey play but he took six steps with a ref looking right at him wth
Such a fun backcourt! 🔥🔥
It's crazy how impressive both these guys have been playing. I never would've thought we'd start this season 3-0. just wait till we get McCain and a fully healthy Embiid back. We don't even need Paul George.
They’re a handful to deal with and embiid on standby like a prom.
New marketing garbage combine 3 games for this numbers
Like looking at a mini Iverson n Wade in the same backcourt. That's insanity, and should be illegal.
SHEESH Sixers DEEP at guard.
VJ Maxey Grimes Mccain
10:22 VJ Edgecombe : don’t compare
I'm a Celtics fan and VJ is about 10 million times more exciting than our entire team lol.
FRANCISE CORNERSTONE
The two guys who take up half of the salaries are not playing while the rest of them are playing well without the two. The management big failure.
Allstar THEM
GOAT backcourt 🔥🔥🔥
Philly really drafted Bahamian Anthony Edwards 😭😭😭
He’s not nearly as athletic and his shot profile is a lot more mature than Ants coming into the league but his game and build is similar to Ants. He has those robotic stuff Jimmy Butler movements tho.
Embiid said he needed help a few years back…..
They gave him Nick Nurse, Developed Maxey, drafted VJ and McCain, Oubre will eventually be moved to the bench, Q Grimes hitting his prime years and Pandemic P.
There should be absolutely ZERO excuses going forward this is a legitimate ECC team at this point
The Generator like a very already.
A little more muscle and strength + improved shooting and they can retire Embiid 😂
1:31 my neck…my back…my neck and my back ah moment 😂😂
