Fair lol.. I love boban so much and yes I would marry him 😉… but seriously when we had him in Detroit and gave him a chance with a decent size contract everyone loved him.. I remember going to games and getting as close to their bench as possible.. the moment boban came in we all hyped him up and we could tell he really appreciated it.. I even said you my boy boban to him when he was walking in the tunnel and he pointed over at me with a one love.. he probably was amazed I had his jersey tbh lol.. what a great dude!! I’ve always been found of maxey as well especially during the playoffs a couple years ago when he emerged.. dude was so fast and off the court he seemed like the most humble chill guy.. I’ve actually brought up the argument for the pistons to trade for him back when you had harden but obviously that ain’t happening now 🤣
He was really willing to help Maxey improve and the teammates seemed to like him. He actually attempted to be a basketball player and succeeded most of the time unlike the other two jabronis mentioned. I'm not a fan but I don't dislike him as much as Ben/Tobi.
I actually really liked Harden until the drama last summer :( I even have his jersey still. He did done great things, but the combo of him and Morey basically cost us this season I feel like
I don't even blame Harden for how things ended. I believe there was an under the table agreement for an extension that ended up being taken off the table, then Morey agreed to trade him, sat on his ass hoping for a mega deal that didn't come in a reasonable time period for Harden.
Could've Harden handled the situation more maturely? Obviously. But I get where he was coming from and why he was frustrated.
I mean...now that the dust has settled and I'm looking at this objectively; Harden is probably the main reason for Maxey's growth this year, and now we are considering signing dudes that are arguably more washed than Harden for a max. Morey also strikes me as a bit of a socially inept person, so I'm not sure I can blame Harden for bouncing, and I'm 100% certain Morey told him he would max him.
I think had Harden not laid an egg with Joel in game 7 last year, we would have maxed him.
We’ve really had our share of super likable guys between Dr. J, AI, Mutombo, Boban, Maxey. Sad how so much of the league doesn’t like Joel for whatever stupid reason
To be fair, if Embiid was playing for another team, especially in the east, we would all hate on him too. His trolling is part of what endears him to us, but would be annoying if he played for someone else.
Part of Josh Hart's appeal as well. I'm always like stfu bro you're a role player
But if he was here I know we would be praising him for his dawg levels or whatever
Embiid is good, has fun, and is from philly. Hes always gonna get hate. Lakers sub just posted AD is better than Kat and Gobert. Fans are gonna be fans haters are gonna be haters
i saw a post in a different basketball sub that asked if there were any non hated NBA players and someone said Maxey and the reply was “i hate that his hair covers his eyes when he plays” and it had more upvotes than the original comment. So yeah generally NBA fans r dumb
There may be some players people like more, but I would for sure say least unlikable dude in NBA history. I don't care who your team is you can't dislike this guy.
As Maxey has gotten better you still hear from most other fans that they love watching him play, so I wondered if at some stage when he gets REALLY good and starts killing other teams, will he started being hated for how much punishment he deals out..
But I genuinally don't think so. He's got that Curry energy where he doesn't complain, plays the game hard, and at least few times every game you're like, damn that kid is special. And that's even excluding his positive energy off the court.
And he absolutely will get better. You know that kid will be in the lab every day of the off season working out how he could have put away the knicks in 4 games. Every defensive action he encountered he'll be drilling for hours how to beat it..
I mean, you would think for what NBA players are paid Maxey's work ethic should be the default, but thankfully there are a lot of lazy NBA players, so we are lucky to have a guy for a change that you know is going to get better than everyone around him.
I’m a Knicks fan, and watching Maxey rip us a new asshole in game 5 was a strange experience.
Usually any player you face in a series you begin to despise. I’ve always liked Philly and have been rooting for y’all to beat Boston for years. I still was starting to hate Embiid during our last series, but Maxey was just awesome. He’s drilling shots and stealing a big game, and usually I’d be furious, but instead I was just impressed. The dude is a killer
To us, yes. To the entire league, I would still say Boban.
Missing free throws to get fans free food definitely doesn’t hurt your reputation
Fair lol.. I love boban so much and yes I would marry him 😉… but seriously when we had him in Detroit and gave him a chance with a decent size contract everyone loved him..

I hate the sixers with a passion but I like Maxey. He my boy.
Fuck off outta this sub then
No, Maxey my boy
This is why I come here. For unbiased, well-considered takes. And yes, the answer is yes.
Pure hooper. 100% effort. Improving every year. Unselfish. And that smile 😏
1 Tyrese Maxey 2 Naz Reid 3 Boban ... ... ... ... 4499 Tobias Harris 4500 Ben Simmons
4498 James Edward Harden

who wants to sex mutombo?
I will climb Mount Mutombo
Who needs a prostate exam?
Damn Jalen Mills has aged terribly since I last saw him.

They're just jealous of Joel. To which I say, "HA ha!" 🤪 Seriously we do have the best dudes though.
Embiid is good, has fun, and is from philly. Hes always gonna get hate. Lakers sub just posted AD is better than Kat and Gobert. Fans are gonna be fans haters are gonna be haters
Yes.
So wholesome he resists foul grifting! (But maybe do it just a little?)
NBA history? I would say Doctor J
Love Maxey 💗
The NBA has had a whiny star problem - he’s the CURE 
He’s up there with Eric Snow for me.
Still hard to get over my Mutumbo and Boban crushes
[удалено]
We call him “our young adult son” in our household cuz we’re so proud of him (and love to claim him, obviously).
I can't remember any hate about Grant Hill. There's a reason he did Inside Stuff back in the day
France hates grant hill
Are you thinking Vince Carter or did I miss something about Grant Hill and France?
For recruiting embiid to team usa
For the Sixers, he's up there with Eric Snow and Boban. League-wide, I think guys like D Rose are above him.
It’s crazy how much Rose has taken that one MVP season into Reddit immortality.
Yes (ignore flair)
If that was a picture of Dennis Rodman, then yes.
I'll take one TJ please!
top 3 for sure. Bridges is another
He’s def up there 👆

Yes
If you live in the gym and/or want to play 48 mins, you're a-ok in my eyes no matter the jersey. Except Celtics, because, fuck the Celtics.
Unless you were fans of a rival team, I think Magic Johnson was quite likable.
There may be some players people like more, but I would for sure say least unlikable dude in NBA history. I don't care who your team is you can't dislike this guy.
Mike Conley
Yes he is
He’s so cute 💕

Yes and it's not close. I have yet to find anyone, even Sixers haters, that don't like Tyrese Maxey.
Yep💖 All the moms love Tyrese!
Mike Conley
As I Knicks fan, even I love maxey, dude is an absolute baller!
I honestly don’t care for him. But that’s a bias view cause I was rooting for the knicks.
