The Sixers have the Best Big 3 in the NBA

When the Sixers acquired James Harden, there was no doubt that the Sixers now had the best 1-2 punch in the NBA with him and Joel Embiid. Four games later, I think it is safe that Tyrese Maxey is a budding star in today’s NBA, and the stats have proved it. The NBA world has noticed just how good the kid here is. 

The Embiid-Harden-Maxey trio is legit

The NBA has been put on notice! the Sixers are averaging over 125 points per game and are 4-0 since acquiring James Harden, and while he has been everything and more we could have hoped for, in today’s NBA, you always need that third guy to get you over the hump. Maxey is that guy and will be for a long time. So has Kendrick Perkins would say, “Carry the hell on!”
