Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey just loves the game of basketball. It’s obvious in the steps that he has taken as a star in this league and his ability to just take games over in the blink of an eye.
Another guard who has the ability to take games over is Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He did so on Monday to help the Thunder erase a 14-point deficit in the second half to rally and beat the Dallas Mavericks, 100-96, to even the series at 2 shifting back to OKC.
Maxey, a Dallas native, was in attendance. The Sixers All-Star was sitting courtside and helped Gilgeous-Alexander up on one play when the star guard fell baseline.

With the Sixers eliminated in the first round, Maxey gets to take in other NBA action. Of course, he would much rather be playing than watching right now, but after a terrific season, he has earned a well-deserved rest.
