It’s silly to get to excited about any pick-up game clip – but Scottie Barnes hounding James Harden 40 feet from the hoop and clapping about it is awesome

📅 On this day in 2020, the @Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard had 45 points, 12 assists, and 11 3P made in a 125-115 win over the Nuggets.
Lillard and James Harden (Jan. 3, 2019) are the only players in NBA history to record at least 10 assists and 10 3P made in a game. pic.twitter.com/YUkF8Qv3Kv12:01 PM

Most 50-point games in a season since the merger:
10 — Kobe Bryant (2006/07)
9 — James Harden (2018/19)
8 — Michael Jordan (1986/87)
Absolute buckets. pic.twitter.com/63UtJJz2e06:37 PM

Maxey thrived in the new role. He averaged 18.7 points and shot 48% from deep playing next to Harden. Now that the two have been able to work out in the summer, the young guard out of Kentucky is ready to build more with The Beard. “It’s gonna be great,” said Maxey at his 1% skills camp on Saturday. “Chemistry is everything. We only played like 20-something games together so for us to be able to have a whole training camp and an entire season together, it’s gonna be nothing but good things for us and a positive outcome.” -via Sixers Wire / August 8, 2022
On top of growing chemistry with Harden, the Sixers must incorporate new additions PJ Tucker, De’Anthony Melton and Danuel House Jr. The fact they will have a full training camp excites Maxey. “It’s good to have a full team and have a training camp and everything,” Maxey added. “Especially, with James and PJ and those guys coming in, so we’re just gonna go out there and be the best that we can possibly be.” -via Sixers Wire / August 8, 2022
