Harden definitely helps him get off easier shots, but nah I think you’re giving him too much credit. Maxey has been balling all year, step back 3’s, pushing the pace on offense, etc. I’ll give you the aggression part. He’s more aggressive with Harden, but that’s just of virtue of not having to set the table all the time for everyone else. I saw a lot of games where he started off slow because he wanted to share the sugar and feed Embiid. He wouldn’t start being aggressive until the 3rd a lot of times. They need him to come out hot every game even if his shot is not falling. Sky’s the limit for him man.

Maxey started taking step back 3s after Harden arrived

The first few games after the trade Harden was screaming at him from the bench to attack more and shoot more aggressively

Maxey was developing but having Coach James instead of Glen Rivers was what pushed him up to the current all star level play we are seeing

Maxey's been balling and the skills have always been there but it's been come and go with his willingness to asset. Harden's pushed him to be more assertive and use those skills

he used to just explode whenever Embiid sat and then go quiet when he came back. He'd put himself below Tobias and Seth in the pecking order. Now he'll just takeover no matter who is there some nights

We've been gassing him for a minute, but nobody goes in the sixers thread.

He's the reason why i said nah to the Fox/CJ type deals for Simmons. He turned 21 last week and efficient as hell. This nikka refuses to turn the ball over as well.




My young nikka Maxey at the garden :blessed:
