Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey continues to earn respect around the NBA. The young guard out of Kentucky has taken big strides forward and Philadelphia is in a terrific situation because of his work ethic and his desire to be great.
After Maxey dropped 31 points and eight assists in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, he’s averaging 26.6 points, 6.9 assists and 4.8 rebounds on the season. He has been outstanding taking over the point guard spot after the James Harden deal.
Maxey often works out with Lakers star and future Hall of Famer LeBron James, who took to Instagram to give a shoutout to Maxey.

Maxey was telling a story about his morning workouts with James. The two of them would get up before dawn and get to the gym to work out together. That type of work ethic pays off in this league and it’s why Maxey is on his way to being one of the best players in the game.
