The most passionate Philadelphia 76ers fans crowned Tyrese Maxey as this season’s Most Valuable Player at one point throughout the year. While his validity in those conversations is questionable, the entire NBA fandom awarded Maxey his flowers in droves.
He received the second-largest number of votes in the Eastern Conference for the 2025-26 All-Star teams in the first fan-voting return, trailing only Giannis Antetokounmpo. What's more, the guard tallied the third-most league-wide, more than Stephen Curry and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This is a testament to how impressive Maxey has been this year.
