I like Maxey a lot. He stepped up a ton when opportunity knocked for him, and now he’s a NBA MIP and NBA All Star. But it’s obvious he can’t be the number one option on a playoff team.
couldnt agree more with this. maxey is quite simply a bucket imo a definite number 2 option on a championship team he just needs his number one option to be available and playing well
100% agree. I saw dumbass Marc Spears say that the 76ers had 3 players better than Brunson meaning he included Maxey in that. Maxey is no where near better than Brunson and Paul George as of now isnt better than Brunson either. Maxey is not better than Trae Young or Haliburton either. He’s really good don’t get me wrong but overrated.
@ that run was a similar fluke run that the hawks had that time. I wouldn’t expect him to sustain that play, however he’s a more complete player than Maxey right now. Maxey at this time is just a really good scorer and that’s really it.
Tyrese Maxey is a great player, and he's only 24. The problem with him this season is that the team is full of bums who can't carry their own weight, and Maxey's been pushed into a role that he wasn't prepared for. Saying he's overrated is an asinine take. Nobody but a few talking heads who always make controversial takes say he's better than what he actually is, and those takes can be ignored.
Maxey is coming off a hamstring injury and he's seeing a lot more double teams now that Embiid isn't on the floor so his efficiency is obviously going to go down as he adjusts to that. Last season Maxey was at his best when Embiid went down so saying he can't be a no1 is wrong
Last year when embiid went down so did the rest of the East teams. Almost every east teams were injured... Now almost every East teams are mostly healthy.
Embiid was injured last season and the 76ers were sliding down the ranking. This isn't new, he just isn't what y'all projecting him to be. How can you be labeled #1 option when you haven't done anything showing you can be. Putting up big numbers but losing isn't gonna cut it
Jokic is doing what Harden and Westbrook already did years ago…granted he has better efficiency but it’s funny when people say it’s unprecedented like we didn’t see Harden do the same for a half decade straight Jokic and Harden are about the same level of defenders too
I just thought I didn't know ball as well as I thought. I don't see close to the superstar ESPN would have you believe Maxey is. Great player, star? Of course, not a superstar. Your team isn't winning with Maxey as a 1, and there are only certain situations that work with him as a 2 if they want to contend. Isn't a midround rookie leading that team? And their record, if he was a superstar he willed a few more victories by himself.
Are you kidding me??!!??!!!! Maxey is overrated??!!?? Sixers without Emiid and George are probably the worst team in the league. No wonder his efficiency and scoring have dipped. You could put ANYONE in there instead of Maxey and the result would be the same, on a team without any notable talent.
That Maxey take is not a hot take. He’s seen as an all star so when his co stars are out, the best defender is now on him. And Maxey is not a great playmaker, he’s a better 2 guard working with a good playmaker like with harden.
so Luka averaged 33.9 PPG 9.2 REB 9.8 AST last year AS A 5 SEED ONLY 1 GAME BACK FROM 4 SEED CLIPS, with us having a mid season trade and lots of injuries in the year, but it was about seeding, now because Jokic finally averages 30 PPG (I love Jokic tho) everyone says seeding doesn't matter lol, as a mavs fan, screw anyone being this big of a hypocrite jackass tbh
What’s small to you? Like Dame, Curry, Trae, Chris Paul, etc, are all small and are or were fairly dominant, and I’d argue wouldn’t be able to do what they do without their smaller stature, relatively speaking
Jokic shouldn’t be the current MVP front runner, but not for anything like those perceived “previous hypocrisies.” He shouldn’t be the front runner because one of the biggest reasons he’s won the last 3/4 MVP awards and the reason he’s been constantly at if not the top of MVP ladders for years is finally not in his favor, and that’s games played. He’s on the low end of that this year and when you go into the totals points, rebound, and assists you’ll see he’s no where near the top despite the crazy averages because in the top 20 in those categories, he’s the outlier with lots of missed games. Front runner right now is clearly SGA, and I don’t really see much of a solid case for anyone else, If Giannis wants to get in the argument, the bucks can’t be a 0.500 team in the anemic east, they’ve made headway lately, but he needs to get those win totals up. Jokic needs to make up those games played and get the nuggets out of this slump. Tatum who is absolutely in the argument has an uphill battle, cause the team around him is so damn good, but if he keeps his games played on pace for 80-ish games and Boston repeats as the best record with him having incredible stats, he’s got a case. Luka is in it, but he’s also secretly started the season off missing lots of games again which is becoming a theme for why he’s not getting these awards, he need to pick that up to where he’s not in the boat he was last year where he put up great per game stats while playing 13% fewer games than jokic, and those defensive laps need to stop. Say what you will about jokic’s defensive problems, it’s never for lack of effort or focus on that end.
I feel like the Magic Situation rn is nearly identical to the Houston Rockets one last year, star player gets hurt for a long time, and the other player that was dissappointing is able to shine with the oppurtunity, everyone was saying to trade Alpy or Green last season because they "can't work" but those people were proven wrong. Now the Magic have two dynamic players, and I think when they play together, its gonna translate very well. Media needs to stop being so trigger happy on negativity, and let players figure themselves out
At 24, hes really 2 to 3 yrs before he enters prime yesrs. Plus hes still not going to foul line like Brunson, refs suck. He will be fine, gotta learn to play thru double/tripple teams and then hel3 be top 10.
HOT TAKE VERY HOT TAKE:The championship bucks are better than any showtime lakers team, you put Jrue on worthy Giannis on magic & brooks on Kareem, only two players on that team could shoot Michael cooper who 38.5% on 2 attempts and Byron Scott who shot 43.6% in the regular season but in the playoffs Scott went down to 20% on two attempts but cooper went up to 48.6% so realistically you could sag off everyone but him and completely shut them down
The problem with this take is that they already sagged off them and they were still a dominant dynasty, so doing what already didn’t work won’t make them stand out.
As long as the Nuggets make it to the playoffs looks like the Joker will win this years MVP. Right now his teammates let him down and Denver not looking the best but we shall wait & see
I have to say this the problem is the MVP should be a simple formula. Everybody should agree upon. I've always said MVP has to have a top six record in the NBA and playing at an elite level and if you fall within those circumstances, then you should be up there like to me the fact that we don't have Donovan Mitchell MVP conversation is some bullshit but some will also get penalized for having good teammate around him so the whole MVP discussion is hypocritical for the last decade because beforehand they used to be a standard for the MVP but now there isn't
Luka was averaging 34/9/9 last year and jokic won over luka averaging 26/12/9 because nuggets had won 7 more games than mavs..To say jokic is mvp while averaging similar or less numbers than last year luka especially when nuggets are the 9th seed is grossly hypocritical and disingenuous..
Does anyone actually care about the MVP anymore? Also, I think Maxey needs time before we label him. This is really his first time being the focal point and a lot of players struggle with that adjustment. The question is whether or not he can learn.
Maxey without embiid gravity/chucking 40 shots a game = above average NBA roleplayer. Hes not a #1 but a good #2. Also the magic arent dominating. They suck vs good teams and have beat up on bad teams all year
I hate the MVP race lmaoo How can you say Jokic is basically by default favored to win MVP despite currently being the 8th seed, but now is the 9th seed while Giannis is at 7th seed and honestly the audacity to say if Luka can do what he literally did last year while maintaining a high seed (which Mavs was 5th seed last year, technically a high seed)... Do this, do that, just fucking give the next 5 MVP to Jokic for fuck sake. The fuck does somebody else have to do win MVP? Cure cancer? 🤣
Probably because he’s averaging a 30 point triple double, and his advanced stats are insane as usual. His team is statistically the worst team in the nba when he’s off the court, and the best when he’s on the court. He’s also much more efficient than Luka last year
Jok can't be mvp while on a bad team the team is underperforming and he's Stat padding at thispoint and need to step up on defense. When russ was on okc it was called Stat padding even though he had a worse team than this year nuggets
He shoots way too much!!!!!! He's absolutely A shot HOG & Only looks for Top Players ie Embiid or PG. Incorporate ALL teammates and the ball is in his hands too much for him not to pass
So even tho the only other true scoring options are hurt and the defense is focus on maxey full time, he considered overrated? You just said yourself there's no shooting on the team. How can u blame maxey? That's a stupid take tbh
I like Maxey a lot. He stepped up a ton when opportunity knocked for him, and now he’s a NBA MIP and NBA All Star. But it’s obvious he can’t be the number one option on a playoff team.
couldnt agree more with this. maxey is quite simply a bucket imo a definite number 2 option on a championship team he just needs his number one option to be available and playing well
@ I honestly think he’s a no. 3 option at best on a championship team
If he could grow into better playmaker, i think he could be a fine 3rd option on a playoff team,

I agree with Brunson and Trae. Hali ain’t better than Maxey
@@shomarileary778Hali at his best is better than Maxey. Maxey is a better scorer, but Hali is a better all around player.
@ Hali “at his best” isn’t a real thing. That run in the NBA cup last year got people thinking that’s sustainable for him. It ain’t.
@ that run was a similar fluke run that the hawks had that time. I wouldn’t expect him to sustain that play, however he’s a more complete player than Maxey right now. Maxey at this time is just a really good scorer and that’s really it.
Healthy Maxey better than Brunson
Maxey will be fine. every time someone doubts him he proves them wrong
💯💯!!
Triple double today. Just saying.
This take will age like milk. Y’all are betting against the wrong kid.

MAXEY is not a "great" player...could be..we will see...not so far..

Maxey isn't doubled.....🛑 it!!!!!!!!!!
Last year when embiid went down so did the rest of the East teams. Almost every east teams were injured... Now almost every East teams are mostly healthy.
Cam thomas is literally by himself and was putting up similar numbers last season and better numbers this season.

jokic is great, but voters fatigue seems to disappear for him
He is even better than every one of his previous mvp seasons. WHERE HE WAS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE

Small guards have such a cap on their potential
What’s small to you? Like Dame, Curry, Trae, Chris Paul, etc, are all small and are or were fairly dominant, and I’d argue wouldn’t be able to do what they do without their smaller stature, relatively speaking
Trae is the best passer in the league by a landslide. Funny when people try and say otherwise
True but Trae can't shoot a lick. He makes one or two far 3 pointers but when the game is over. Trae be shooting 7 for 25 or worst
@@Gilbert-hf7pl but he is the best passer which was the point of the comment..

Overrated players, injuries & bad coaching.

Tyrese Maxey can only do so much. Good player. Even dealing with a disgruntled superstar Embiid.
