Maxey is awesome, always has a smile. positive, doesn't get phased. great role model. well done!!!!!!!
Gotta love dudes that's all about playing ball. No drama, no fake tough guy persona. This kid is the real deal, he's going to keep getting even better during the next seasons.
Shaq always says "Shaq here", as if he doesn't have a very recognizable voice.
It cracks me up every time 😂😂😂
I want some one to respond "who??"
@@Underpantsniper😂😂
"Google me, I got 4 rings." Shaq probably.@@Underpantsniper
People may confuse him for Shrek Maybe
Harden leaving was one of the best things to happen for Maxey it made him take his game to another level
The same way Brunson went to the Knicks to actually show how much of an ELITE player he's always been. Was always being held back by a certain player on his former team.
more like Doc Rivers, it's the best thing to happen to every former team he coached
I think you mean embiid being injured..
He does give a lot of credit to Harden as well though for a lot that he taught him so it's not like James was an overall bad deal but he really has stepped up this season and become a true leader on that team.
Doc not being there mostly
I'm reminded of that video from draft night when he cried and said Philly wouldn't regret it. Very moving moment, and he's made sure we haven't!
Well deserved, Maxey is a class act on and off the court and has a great attitude, dude is always smiling. Great role model.
I absolutely love this kid. He has an energy that radiates from him being both positive and competitive. He works so hard and owns mistakes, even in the face of difficult odds. I am so happy for him.
Maxey comports himself like a leader. Well deserved, young man!
The true leader for the 6ers
Good word.
Will he be a leader against the Knicks?
@@elliekim6666 leader my azszz, when he was on his own 6ers almost out from Playoff, if Embiid didn't returned in the Play In, they will surely lost the game
@@TheDarkKnightRacist Embiid is no leader he's just a great basketball player. There's a difference.
319 to 305 isn't a bad finish for Coby White. It's not like he wasn't recognized
I feel like with White he just played SIGNIFICANTLY more minutes. AND he was out there with the player that had the most minutes in the NBA (DeRozan)
@@immartyfromowteam8064 that's true , and I'm a bulls fan and wanted him to win the award. T. Maxey just made the step a little more further. He stepped in after Harden left and he stepped up when Joel got injured
You have to consider that coby prior to Zach injury was almost averaging the same as last year and that was 1/3 of the season while being the 4th option. He significantly turn up his game this yr being the 3rd option while maxey always was the 2nd option throughout the szn.
The way he talked about the 76ers last game shows incredible maturity for a young man. Tyrese Maxey will be a champion one day.
Man hold on to this dude Philly as he seems like a real leader and a good guy. Didn't try to shy away from the loss or blame it on outside factors, owned up to it and said how he could've done more and how he could do better next time. Such a winners mindset of always looking to improve, hope he goes far in the league.
Tyrese Maxey. Well deserved 💯
From good to very good. So not the most improved.
coby white????
Cry bout a meaningless award lol
@@joshuawilliams2447 true, it is meaningless. It's kinda insulting as well.
@@rosihantu1 lol insulting bro Coby white got regonized didn’t he tho he was a finalist
Should’ve been Coby White… he had la the largest marginal improvement in points, minutes & games started this season over Maxey’s.
Who cares, Maxey was an All Star, something Coby couldn’t do on his best day
@@BirdGang6does your brain work? It’s most improved player, not best player of ones who improved award. What has all stat got to do with it when he already averaged 20ppg last year?
im voting for sengun but a 10 point increase is ridiculous. last time someone did it he became mip
Not mad at it's well deserved. I like his maturity not blaming the calls from game 2 just takes accountability. Great player and great person.
Knicks fan
What I love with Tyrese Maxey, He does not have that Grim on the face or does not look like a WWE fighter at every single action.
I love his smile, his energy and his joy of playing Basketball.
Glad for him, well deserved
All three were. Deserving of the award
Maxey has been playing phenomenal this year. Well deserved.
When asked how he feel about the report he started with “ I “ this man is gonna be a legend I see it 💯🏀🎯
I'm glad someone else noticed that. I'm really starting to understand why other players look at him the way they do.
Maxey will be a champion at some point.
Yes!!! Congratulations Maxey!!!
Much deserved! So excited for this young man’s future!
ALL could have won and id be happy, tyrese seems like such a good kid every time he's on the mic. great spokesperson for the game
That's my guy Maxey. You've definitely earned it. You have improved significantly every season. I am proud of you. Let's go Sixers!!!
Kind of weird to talk to another guy like that. Something you wanna tell us, big fella?
I'm not a Philly fan but props to Maxey as like the only guy on the Sixers when asked about missed calls and his answer is about what they didn't do to win the game regardless.
Also, that 2 minute report states that they missed a call for Embiid fouling Donte before that whole sequence, which if called could have changed the whole game as well. Sometimes that's just how things go. The trick is trying to play well enough that the game isn't close enough to have one or two calls change the whole outcome. And if the Sixers just boxed out they could have gotten a rebound off of that a first Donte miss, and even after that they still got two looks to try and go up by one or tie it.
Maxey has taken the next stride 😮
Thought Coby white was gonna win it but I’m not mad either way. Maxey is a class act on and off the court and a helluva player.
Hope it helps Philly get a win. Gonna be fun to watch Maxey continue to flourish 👌🏽🏀
i like Max answer, instead of dwelling too much unlike LeCry baby from the otherside.. He is looking forward on the next game.
Well Deserved Maxey
What a great and humble kid. Hope nothing but success for him
Congrats T. Max! One of my favorite guys!
Die Hard Knicks fan here: he's got my total respect.
“Superstar in this league” eh? Took many many seasons for Jayson Tatum to get that love. But Maxey is dope man, happy for him.
Well deserved but do they have all 3 candidates waiting or did Maxey already know?? He didn't seem that surprised but if you were him maybe you knew all along 😉
Probably already knew. Most award shows, hollywood oscars etc. they alert the winners in advanced. Maybe the TNT crew didn't know but Maxley probably was alerted
Pretty sure he was told a few hours before this show started so he could do this interview. It doesnt always have to be live, it's a regular season award, doesn't have to be announced on the spot for the players
@@DannyP-dm1pw The Oscars do not alert the winners in advance. The Academy hires a third party company to handle the votes and no one knows until the envelop is opened on stage. That's why there was chaos when people thought La La Land won Best Picture a few years ago or when the entire ceremony was scheduled around doing Best Actor last because they expected Chadwick Boseman to win for Ma Rainey shortly after his death but he ended up losing to Anthony Hopkins who didn't even bother to fly over to the US.
cause hes literally in the middle of a playoffs series and this award is meaningless for where he is now.
I think he knew a few hours before for sure, but no one else knew.
Ernie i like ur style & especially the colors u have on 2night🔥🔥🔥
Love watching this man play, especially now since he is playing my Knicks. Well deserved.
All ⭐️ Congratulations
Maxey is the real MVP for sixers.
Maxey was already good. Segun should have won this award. Maxey was already good!!!! I guess Gobert will get MVP just write him in. The voting process makes no sense how they pick the winners.
I thought Coby woulda won it but i don't mind Tyrese getting it either... then boys was ballin
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Maxey Well Deserved
Congratulations Maxey.
As a Rockets fan i can't be mad at this one. Tyrese held it down for Philly all year 🫡
Kenny looking to get an assist with the envelope like a true point guard.
LFG MAXEY!
Well deserved. 👏 💯 💪 🔥
This dude has the right stuff
Standup dude with a great attitude and work ethic fr... No wonder Embiid doesn't wanna let him down and is playing through crazy pain. He believes in youngin and Ty been proving him right every game 🏀
Great Comment
@@stephenromer5180 🙏
Maxey is so humble which only makes him greater than his accomplishments!! 😄🙃
This 2020 draft is going to be one of the all time best
Congratulations on Most Improved! He does seem to want to be the best version of himself. He has strong off the court community involvement too.
LESGO TYRESE MAXEY
Respect for Maxey for responding maturely to the No-Call at the end of game 2. Didn’t say anything about the refs or making excuses. Just said I have to do better and took the blame when really he shouldn’t have. “Just gotta let it go.” Feel like this should be highlighted more.
"What did you feel you've improved the most in?" Great question Kenny.
Well deserved young man
But like SHAQ always says “SHAQ Here” as if his voice isn’t even more recognizable
💙M A X E Y💙
Sengun made the biggest leap forward, robbery
I think Coby White should've gotten it, but I agree that this was a steal by Maxey
I think Coby White should've gotten it, but I agree that this was a steal by Maxey
@@gabrieldodds9081Coby white was surrounded by veterans who can actually play well (Derozan, Lavine, Vuc) Maxey and Sengun had to be the #1 option for the team which they had too carry heavy load and sengun wasn’t even supposed to be starting but they failed to get brook lopez so he got the starting spot.
@@AkagiRedSunthat’s how we all know you don’t watch games. Lavine is out basically the whole season. Vuc has been absolutely terrible.
My guy learn the rules. Sengun doesnt even qualify for the award.
Maxey played 3 season's worth of basketball JUST THIS YEAR! It's crazy how much he's grown in just one season, he is about to be a whole entire problem.
And I’ll add that he is cooking Brunson in this series so far
Deserved!!
Well deserved maxey Sixers in 6 I guarantee
That's the leader Philly needs.
Shaq is completely right, when the sixers came calling for someone to step up maxey answered and is a definitive superstar now I'm really happy for him
I remember chuck calling him Tyrone maxey
Great choice 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Get our boy some medicine! Poor thing. MAXEY IS THE BOSS!
Coby White!!!!
"Last 2 minute report" was just a "shrug" situation in the regular season, but now...
Tyrese Maxey has won the NBA's 2023-24 Most Improved Player award, the league announced Tuesday. He narrowly beat Bulls guard Coby White to win the honor.
His answer when EJ asked about the foul in NY is exactly what you want to hear from a leader. Took full accountability didn't blame refs teammates or coach he was cold at Kentucky has more then stepped up since Harden departed he gonna be one of them ones
Something about Maxey that reminds me of a young Kobe.
I hope he improves on catching the ball on inbounds play.
People was sleepin on Coby White? He had the biggest leap!
BALLER!!!
Let’s go Maxey!
Imagine being a 10 seed thinking this was for you
I guess the push on josh hart didn't happen if we are making excuses but I really liked his response
💯💯💯 exactly or the overturned foul when diVincenzo had the ball on that rebound earlier
They keep asking him what's going to happen tomorrow, but the game is on Thursday.
Kenny must have had ptsd when he heard dana barros name lol
Popularity contest
Am I the only one that thought Kenny was going to say Haliburton?😅
I'm sorry didn't Coby white break out in the second half? Wasn't Cam Thomas in this convo at the start? Maxey got it because, he was in the MIP convo all season long, which is why he was an allstar and Coby White wasn't. Coby White did improve a lot, but Maxey was in this race way longer.
Weird for me to say Maxey “Most Improved” because in my mind he’s been elite for the two years before this too. Sure he made big stats jumps with Harden gone…but Maxey BEEN real good. So idk what this award is supposed to be about. Colby White went from nothing to a huge impact, I thought that’s what this award was about, but guess I’m wrong.
The voting was v close.
Colby White deserves some recognition from the nba community & fans - as of course does Maxey ! They both had great years, even if in very different ways.
I’m a bulls fan but they didn’t rob Coby White..Bulls finished with a losing record . We got to get back to value wins and playoffs not a play in . If Coby was able to get the bulls to the playoffs not play-in then he would have won it. But congratulations to maxey and can’t wait to see Coby White’s second act 💯
Macey is good but it should’ve been Jalen Johnson! Jalen has had such a jump in only 1 year. He went from barely in the rotation to starter. And he adjusted great to all of the hawks injuries
Tyrese took his game to the Max of improvement when Harden left. He deserved it.
I’m sorry Cam Thomas should’ve gotten it certified bucket with all them vets in his way
Oh Chuck - NIP?
😂😂😂
Congrats maxey well deserved coming from a Knicks fan seriously…..that being said Knicks in 4
Jalen Johnson of the Hawks should have been in the running for MIP.
it's ridiculous how low I had to scroll to find his name mentioned here. everyone should've expected sengun/maxey to rise up, absolutely no one would've expected JJ to be so impactful as he was this season. if he was healthy all year he should be top 2 for sure
Most Improved should be re-named the "Borderline Allstar Finally Becoming an Allstar" Award
I hope they are ready for all the Knicks fans who will be attending
6+ PPG and nearly doubled his assists, not a bad choice 👌.
Well deserved
Don’t really agree, all of his stat jumps are based on more opportunities rather then better efficiency, seems like he was this good last year, this year has the ball way more
His numbers did go up tho
Can they either rename the award best new all star or actually start giving it to the player that improved the most
Never thought I'd say this but Coby white got robbed
Who else was gonna step up to the number 2 spot
Like this guard player still young n fast moving the ball to the basket a leader too. Deserve
Wasn’t maxey really good last year too? Coby white improved drastically
Tyrese Learned from James how to lead
bruh why they asking so many questions about the game smh this was supposed to be about his award,not lastnights game
Congrats to Maxey but he was already really good. Last year would have been a better year for him to get this award. The other two had bigger jumps from last year. Either one would have been a better choice imo.
You’re absolutely right about that , I going from a 3/4 option (Tobias Harris ) alternate last year behind harden and embiid . Making that jump to an all star and pretty much leading the Sixers to a playoff birth while embiid was down .. that’s a huge jump .. we knew he was ready though
Also we knew colby was capable aswell they both been in the league for awhile .. feel like that’s a 3 years or under award ..
