The last dark season shaped Tyrese Maxey’s mind
Tyrese McKay was so amazed by the appearance that he felt the need to call his mother. ” I told him, ‘It’s crazy to see people wearing ‘Mackey’ jerseys anywhere but Philly or Texas, where I’m from.’ Words cannot describe how happy this makes me », release the Sixers player.
In recent months, the Sixers leader, whose name appears in the 10th place of the best-selling jerseysmanaged to get a good idea of his growing popularity in the league. This popularity, along with his performances, was epitomized by his invitation to the All-Star Game as a starter.
The Dallas native returns to the All-Star Game two years after his first selection. Last season, when he already had the best momentum of his career, there was no question he would be there. The reason: his team’s much underwhelming, injury-plagued record of 20 wins and 34 losses.
After four first NBA seasons that ended in the playoffs, Tyrese Maxey would miss the Finals for the first time. Dark season that the person in question now looks differently from the back.
“Should” go through this
« It was a big deal for me mentally. I had to go through this. Honestly, I’ve never lost in my life, at any level of basketball. So it was really hard to go through that, but getting up every morning, going to work, motivating my teammates and trying to get better every day… it made me feel good “, says the 25-year-old player today.
A way to make him realize that sometimes you have to fall very low to get back up better. Especially since in their adversity, the Sixers have not lost everything. Picking up the 3rd pick in the draft, they were able to get their hands on VJ Edgecombe, his “ little brother », which turned out to be one of the best starters of this vintage. With Tyrese Maxey, they form one of the most dynamic backcourt pairings in the league.
The result: With the recovery of Joel Embiid, the Sixers have raised the bar and posted a much more solid 30-24 record today. “ We still had a lot of injuries, a lot of guys on the sidelines. But every night we go out on the field to fight hard and we are finally starting to find our full team », referee Tyrese McKay, whose team still lost Paul George to suspension.
« We saw: overall we have a good rhythm. If your health is there, you have the opportunity to do something great. I think that is our main goal. And we’re trying to keep moving forward in terms of our culture and the way we do things, staying on track », termine le double All-Star.
