WEBVTT - One-on-One with Tyrese Maxey

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Tyres, Maxie and your list to the seventy Sixers

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Insiders Podcast. Welcome back, everybody to the seventy Sixers Insiders Podcast.

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm Lauren Rosen here with Matt Murphy with a very

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>special guest on today's edition of our one on one

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>interviews ahead of the playoffs. He might be your favorite.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>He's many people's favorites, many listeners favorites. Mister Tyree's Maxie

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>was in the hot seat with us ahead of the

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>playoffs and we got to know him better, which was

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the goal, Matt at this point. People. A lot of

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>people will have seen the teaser trailer with the starting

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>lineup introduction, and Maxie did a great job of doing

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the echo for his own last name. He's extremely animated,

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>which we know on the court, but it's been such

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a treat to see him get into his element, his

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>many elements sort of off the court. And he's told

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>us that he wants to hope fully one day be

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 1>an announcer or do something in the sort of coverage world,

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>and he's certainly well on his way. So he's a podcaster. Now,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>he's a podcaster. You had the chance to do this

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>interview with him, and you tried to ask him questions

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that he has yet to be asked in his young

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>MBA career. I think you came close to succeeding on

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that front. I challenged him. I said, and I've said

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this with all the guys that it came on to

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>this edition of our of our podcast series, and I said, Hey,

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>if you've answered any of these questions before, please say

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>next question. Tyrese didn't next question me a single time,

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>but then after the interview he did say that he

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>had been asked them before. So now that I've discredited

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 1>the interview itself, I really hope you guys enjoy it.

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's Tyrese Maxie guard out of Garland, Sexish from the

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>University of Kentucky. You're standing six three, number zero Tis

0:01:52.640 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>MAXIXXIX Tyrese Maxie, welcome back. Start here. When you retire

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>from the NBA, what do you hope that people say

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>about what you were like as a player When I retire,

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>I hope people would say that Tyrese was somebody who

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>outworked a lot of people, whom you know, earned everything

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that he got, all the accolades that he got in

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the league. There was nothing given to him and that

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>he's somehow got one percent better literally every single day

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>and found ways to reach the maximum level of its potential.

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I think players today, probably because of social media, are

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>very aware of what their public personas are. What is

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>something that the public gets right about Tyrese and what

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>is something that the public gets wrong about Tyrese. I

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>think something that that everybody gets right is that I

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy playing basketball, Like this is like something that

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't I can't fake it, Like I'm always smiling,

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm always having the best time in my life when

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm out there. Um, I think the only thing that

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that that they don't know it's probably that I'm a

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>human being. So everybody struggles. Everybody you know, goes through

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>their moments, whether it's behind closed doors, whether it's on

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the court, whether it's you know, when they're just talking

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to their parents and or what not. But for the

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>most part, and I'm this is real who I am.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't smile because it's fake. I smile because I

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy being out there. I really enjoy competing. I

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.799
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy playing at the highest level. So that's that's

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>fun to me. What have you learned this year about

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>your ability to push through struggle or to overcome struggle. Yeah,

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm actually really proud of myself, and I'm

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.839
<v Speaker 1>proud of, you know, my parents for what they've kind

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of installed me since day one, because if it wasn't

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>from without them, I don't know how I would be

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>able to push through certain things like getting hurt, you know,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>coming out the bench, starting, you know, whatever the situation is.

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've been able to kind of persevere

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and kind of help this team win games. Reflecting on

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>your life now as a whole, beyond just this season

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>or the last three years, if you ever particularly memorable

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>for in the road, a school, you didn't go to,

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a job, you didn't pursue, anything that you chose not

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to do that was particularly impactful, or maybe that you

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>wish you had explored. I don't think so. I think

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>everything kind of happened and worked out for a reason.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I got to go to the University

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of Kentucky. I didn't leave early. I didn't leave early

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>like Coach cow Was asked me if I wanted to

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>leave because I had enough credits and stuff to graduate

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 1>high school early. But I didn't leave because I wanted

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>to be a mcdonal's all American. I wanted to go

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>through that process, so I was able to do that.

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to graduate and go to Problem with my

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>with my homies, so that was cool. I got to

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>do that. Um So, I mean, the only thing I

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>would say is I didn't get to play in the tournament.

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get to play in the tournament. I was

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>like really looking forward to doing that. And I ran

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>all those fifteens for Coach Cow and ran out there

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>on the track and did all the stuff that you

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>do go through in college. And I didn't get to

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>play in the tournament. You know, it kind of sucked,

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>but the experiences was great also. To be fair, wasn't

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>your voice? No, I wasn't. Um Okay, here's another one

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>for you, Terry's what's the most regular thing about you?

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I can give you two things that I say.

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>The most regular thing about me is one is I

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>love my dog. I think that's a very very natural thing.

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I really do love my dog, Like, um, I

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>miss him right now, Like it's it's it's crazy that

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>every time I get home, I just love to see

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.119
<v Speaker 1>his tail wagging, him being so happy. And jumping, jumping

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>all over me. That that excites me that end. I

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>will sit on my couch, like on an off day

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>when I don't like when I really have no nothing

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>to do, like on a black out day, I will

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>sit on my couch the entire day. Um, I think

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the snacks that I eat are a little bit different

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>and not as normal, like what like, uh, granola stuff

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>that the chef makes like little yoga parfase, healthy yoga parfase,

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>healthy smoothies. So I still I'm still eating snacks on

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the couch, but like they're just a little bit a

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit different. But that's like probably the most normal

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>thing I would do if you had to pick one.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>What's the most important relationship that you have in your life? Uh,

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you know the relationship that I have with God. In

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the relationship that I have my parents, my family, It's

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's second to none. Like I can lean on

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>my family for anything. I know I could pray to

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>God to anything. If I can definitely lean on my

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>family for anything. They'll always be the for me. I

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the situation is, They'll always be supportive

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>of me. And I know I know they always have

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>my back. Understanding that you have that pride in both

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of those relationships. God, this one is a little bit tough.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking about how I'm going to ask it, But

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.119
<v Speaker 1>if you prefer to just answer it for your family,

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. How do you nurture that relationship? How do

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.359
<v Speaker 1>you give back to that relationship so that you know

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>your parents are getting what they need from Tyres or

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that God is getting what he needs from Tyres, from

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Lord. I just I mean, I pray. I

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>pray every day, and then I also try to find

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>different ways to understand know the Bible, understand the religion.

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>If that's talking to my grandmother, if that's reading myself,

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that's looking up different things on you know, the Internet nowadays,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>because that's like one of the main sources of information.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>And then my family, Um, you know, I just go

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>out there. One thing I do is the name in

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>front of my chest is the most important when you're

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>out there playing, But at the end of the day,

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you know the name when the back is important too.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>So I go out there and I try to put

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>off of them as much as I possibly can. Every

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>single every single time I step on the floor, and

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm a resemblance of them. So if

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting on, then I'm showing everybody. Would I fail?

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>The dynamic is all about we know that you're a

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>great basketball player. What's something people don't know that you're

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>great at. I think I'm great at mimicking people like mimicking,

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Like like the time you mimic to me doing an interview,

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it was that good of a mimic. Well,

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody's in tied it to their own opinions,

0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>but I think a lot of people say I'm good

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 1>at mem people like if I like mimicking, I don't

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>know Joel mimicking. Like sometimes I turned off the game,

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>like when I wasn't playing, and I'm not mimicking her,

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like trying to be like just like her,

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like be like missus k Scott or missus ky Scott.

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, you know, I would do that when

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I when I wasn't playing, I was cool, yeah, and

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>then but I was on the road, so I would

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>just like like turn mute her and then like be

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>her and like try to like kind of even be

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in her voice or being all his voice. It's kind

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>of cool. Did anything surprise you about like how challenging

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that job is. Yeah, I think because I like to talk.

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I would really love to talk. But you really have

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to talk throughout the whole forty eight minute game, and

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to be enthusiastic. You have to be able to,

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>You have to be able to because they're team reporters.

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>So but they still have to be able to, like

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I do I explain it, they still have to be

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of excited for the other team as well. Up

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense to put you guys in a positive

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>light without betraying the integrity of the job in the

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>game exactly. So they have like they have a harder

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 1>job than like the actual ESPN and the TNC and

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 1>the ABC broadcast is because the ABC, you know that

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just they're they're neutral. You know, they're just out

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>there calling a game. But when you're when you're Sixer

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>commentators or you're whatever the team is commentators, you're of

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>course you're going for the sixers because that's your job.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>But like you still have to be able to do

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>both and that's pretty cool. Well, and they have to

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>do it eighty two times. They don't just parachute in

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and tell one story about Tyrese. They have to have

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>something new to say about you every night. That's cool

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that you appreciate that. I'm excited to play this form.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of watching games, what's the most memorable sporting event

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't play in, not a game, not a

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>basketball game that you've been to as a spectator or

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>watched on TV. This summer or last summer. In August,

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I went to watch the first round of Serena's at

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the US Open. That was That's my first time at

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a tennis match ever in my life. And for it

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to be so inspirational that I come home and I

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>start playing tennis and actually sitting on my couch at

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>two am watching um, like the finals, like the final

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>four women's and men's of tennis. That's like second to none,

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I can't like, that's like amazing, like that it

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>can change somebody's persona like that, Like I have never

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>watched a tennis match ever in my life. I watched one,

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>go to hers, watch one first round of the US Open,

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm watching tennis. I'm going to play tennis

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>on off days with Chake, Milton, Tyler, Lashbrook, Spencer Rivers.

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's like that's really cool. Last question, My timing

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 1>is impeccable. You do this a lot. You've answered a

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of questions. Do you have any questions for me?

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I have ze real questions. No questions today, um, no

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>no questions for me today. My only question is what

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>time is it? Love? Y'all gotta go by. Thank you, Tyrese.

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Always a pleasure to sit down with Tyrese Maxie, get

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to know them a little bit better off the court.

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>But on the court, Matt, it's almost become disrespectful to

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>continue asking if Tyrese Maxie is going to continue getting better,

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>whether or not he'll make the leap after a great

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>rookie year, after a great sophomore season, coming back from

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.959
<v Speaker 1>injury this year, going to the bench, coming back. This

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>is someone who has continued to rise to the occasion

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>with every challenge that's been thrown at him over the

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.319
<v Speaker 1>three years that he's been a sixer, and it's been

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 1>nothing short of a privilege to watch doing it all

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>with a smile on his face most of the time,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>if not all of the time. I mean, this is

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>a forty one percent three point shooter for his career

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>so far, fifty one percent this March and if you

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>want to get hot at a good time of the

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>NBA season, right before the playoffs is a pretty good

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>time to do that. And we've seen him. It feels

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>like Tyrese Maxie has played like ten years already in

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. With the amount of things he's been through.

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You just kind of laid out the course of this

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>season alone, but in past seasons he has stepped up

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and proven to be a playoff performer. We just happened

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to be talking before another game against the Raptors, but

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs against the Raptors, he went off in Philadelphia.

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>The crowd already loves him, but in those moments when

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a great guard, but he's knocking down threes at

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a rate that not many people expected when he was

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>coming out of college. And if he had done that

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in college, he wouldn't have fallen to where he fell

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. And he's making a ton of shots

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>as a professional, and it is a it's a privilege

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to watch. He is a great person to cover on

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and off the court and always has a smile on

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>his face. Everything happens for a reason, and Tyree's talked

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>about it on his podcast, So I'll shout out Maxie.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>On the mic with iHeartRadio, he talked about the fact

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that he thinks had he shot better in college, or

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 1>had he had the opportunity to play in a March madness,

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 1>which of course is at its peak right now, he

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 1>feels that he might have gotten drafted sooner, probably would have,

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>but that he's glad he didn't because he's so happy

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>he ended up in Philadelphia, And I think everybody here

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>can wholeheartedly agree with that thought. It's kind of tough

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to even criticize the shooting from college because A they

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>already play way fewer games. B there was a pandemic

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>going on that affected things. See, it was Kentucky where

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a bunch of other prospects, so it's not like

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>he had a ton of volume or multiple seasons of

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>like a poor shooting record or something. It's just it's

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>still shocking to see how much better he's been. Yeah,

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned his great cumulative shooting stats this season. I

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.839
<v Speaker 1>wanted to quickly highlight one more shooting nearly forty seven

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.719
<v Speaker 1>percent from three this season on the road, which is

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>an extremely impressive feat from such a young player. To

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>show such poise in every building. We talked about it

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>ahead of one of the Sixers recent games. I had

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a one on one with Tyrese and he said that

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>he loves the sound of silence in the crowd after

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>he makes on the road kind of dark, but also

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>shows he's got a little bit of a killer instinct

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in him and it's only growing. He's only growing and

0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>always just a pleasure, nothing but a pleasure to hear

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>from Tyrese. Well, that type of mentality certainly bodes well

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>for playoff performances of the future for Tyrese. Maxie and

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if the road shooting splits have anything to

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 1>do with the white sweatsuit that he warms up with

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>before away games, the white six or sweatshirt, the white

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 1>six or sweatpants we've noticed has been his road wardrobe

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>this season and Navy on Navy at home. So if

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not broke and he says there's nothing to it,

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>he says there's nothing to it. Something we do know

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese is great at his playoff performances. You think back

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to his rookie season when he wasn't even really in

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a consistent spot in the rotation throughout the regular season.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Stepping up and winning playoff games for his team as

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a rookie, doing the same last season availability sort of

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>independent of other players availability, Tyrese has found a way

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to make his presence known and to step up big

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>in big moments. We certainly hope that he'll do the

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>same in the playoffs to come. He mentioned on his

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>podcast that that year, his rookie year, like mid season,

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>there was the possibility of playing in the G League.

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I think if it was a normal season and games

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>were happening in Delaware and things like that, that very

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>well could have happened. And then in the playoffs he

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>won a game like things happen fast in the NBA.

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And he's a perfect example of how you can respond

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to that. And we talked on the last episode with

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>guys that went through the G League Shake Milton, Paul Reid.

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Go back and listen to that one. If you're jumping

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>into this series with Tyrese seventy six Ers Insiders. I

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>hope you guys enjoyed hearing from Tyreese. I know we

0:15:31.040 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>here on the seventy Sixers Insiders podcast.
