Maxey went 7-9 from three and had zero turnovers…after missing three straight games with a bum ankle. Unreal. Such a deserved All Star appearance for the kid.

Remember when he wasn’t better than Tyler Herro this summer?

Dan Le Batard believes Tyler Herro is the best player Portland would get in a trade for Damian Lillard

“Herro is better than Maxey, he’s just whiter than Maxey.”

God, Philly needed this bad. Nothing has been going right lately in Philly sports. Tyrese Maxey is a dim light in a pile of shit. Thank you, Mike Muscala! Thank you, Drew Hanlen! Thank you, momma and papa Maxey for having sex back in 2000!
