Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey is one of the more maniacal competitors in the league. He brings 110% effort on a nightly basis and no matter what happens during the game or any adversity he faces, Maxey always has a smile on his face.
Taking on a larger load amid the James Harden saga, Maxey averaged 25.9 points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds on his way to being named an All-Star for the first time in his career. He was fantastic all season.
The work ethic he brought to the table and the respect he has for the game and his peers resulted in him being named the 2023-24 NBA Sportsmanship Award recipient. He is the second Sixer to win the award, joining Eric Snow in the 1999-00 season.

Maxey looks to build off his All-Star campaign in the 2024-25 season and help Philadelphia take the next step in the Eastern Conference during coach Nick Nurse’s second season.
