Couldn’t do it against the pistons tho
In both of the seasons when the Houston Rockets won the NBA championship back in the day, the team led the league in the percentage of their field goal attempts coming from behind the 3 point line while shooting at a slightly above average percentage and then led in shooting percentage from 2. Now the Rockets lead the league in the percentage of their field goal attempts coming from inside the 3 point line while shooting at a slightly above average percentage and then lead in shooting percentage from 3. The team seems to now be as much of an outlier in offensive approach as the team was back then.
Not taking anything from his great start of the season but if this is a superstar for the NBA, the league is 📉
Who didn't think he wasn't already a superstar??
Doc maybe the worst coach ever lol
he's the reverse ben simmons
You can’t help but like Maxey. Exudes positivity. Just wish we could get him better guys. Joel and PG are trash.
If the players just have fun while playing i promise they will enjoy it more ijs
🦊 Fox better!!
We all know doc river is a trash coach
Maxey is a GREAT #2 on a contender. He's awesome, but FG % is just okay. The last few games were rough. I'm happy for him for this last game over a team w/o Giannis. But real fans r still more concerned about a chip, which (without a healthy Embiid) ain't even close to happening.
Doc told this man when he coached here "for every shot you take, that could be a shot for James or Joel". What a joke. Now we gotta get Nick outta here before he haults VJ's growth.
Scored career high vs the coach who lied about maxey volunteering to come of the bench. Doc almost ruined him early on
After Chauncey Billups got busted, I would never ever Bet on NBA! They are lying just like the View ABC and Fox and CW and CBS news, Fake news Legacy News!! My leg hurts, NOT!!
This season, Maxey > SGA. He's outscoring SGA with less FTs per game, and averaging more assists too.
Joel Embiid called Maxey The Franchise. Yet the media tries to create this fake discontent
Maxey is Tony Parker and John Wall Hybrid
VJ Edgecombe Is Jimmy Buckets And Dwade Hybrid
Windy your best compliment to him is that he could win MIP???!!???? Most improved man Gtf
You find out that the people at ESPN don’t really watch basketball. And just narratives .
brother's a weapon no matter where he is
Triple D’s own!
Trade embid and build around maxey
How does Doc still have a job
Brian Windhorst always acting like he knows something everybody else doesn’t. The birth of a superstar happened 1/9/21 when Maxey got his first start and he dropped 39 against the nuggets, on a night we only had 7 players available to play, and a injured Mike Scott on the bench. He played like the entire game, and couldn’t be stopped. It was evident on that night that he would become a superstar.
His star ascension started in the playoffs though against toronto/d Nick Nurse (after Ben Simmons stopped playing).. His superstar ascension started when we watched him on the court with Embiid and Harden yet he was the one who not only forced a game 7 but he was also repeatedly stepping up in big moments taking big shots prior to that.. it was official in that knicks series.
This is just a i told you so moment, because he been like this. Joel was the center of the offense though. Now Maxey is the center of the offense, so it’s more obvious for those like Windhorst to notice now
Maxey is a bucket machine along with Bronson, he is the new KD but he plays a different position
i hate ESPN. but that shot chart animation is next level.
