Maxey: ‘Joel was probably one of the first ... in our organization that really believed in me’

Sixers fans don’t need any more reasons to love Tyrese Maxey. The third-year guard has shown star potential and done so with a huge smile and glowing personality.

But in a recent appearance on “The Young Person Basketball Podcast with R.J. Hampton” on Fubo Sports, Maxey dished on his relationships with Joel Embiid and James Harden.

Both Texas natives broke into the league in 2020, with Maxey going 21st overall and Hampton a few picks later at 24. Hampton talked about how important it was for him to have veterans like Nikola Jokic around when he was a rookie in Denver.
