Tyrese Maxey took yet another leap this season. On his way to claiming the NBA’s Most Improved Player award, he set career-highs across the board and thrived in a larger role, whether he was operating alongside Joel Embiid or leading the offense without him. Maxey took that momentum into the playoffs too, and has rightfully received plenty of attention.
On the latest episode of Mind the Game, the brilliant podcast from LeBron James and JJ Redick which is full of fascinating insight and great X’s and O’s breakdowns, there were plenty of compliments for Maxey.
LeBron was quick to highlight Maxey’s tenacity and energy in particular.
