The Philadelphia 76ers are different this season, but they are also technically the same. The main difference is that Tyrese Maxey has taken the superstar leap, but he has already stepped into the role as the face of the franchise. Having said that, it appears that the franchise had almost fumbled the bag before someone unexpected intervened and made sure that he would end up in Philly.
Maxey is represented by Klutch Sports, a sports agency founded by Rich Paul. Known for repping some of the biggest names in the NBA, Paul revealed just recently that the 76ers nearly prevented themselves from picking Maxey in the 202 NBA Draft before he managed to convinced Elton Brand, 76ers general manager, to go with the eventual All-Star.
