Stephen A had Majic eating his initial words and backtrack on his initial statement. He was gulping air as soon as Stephen A mentioned the problem with Magic’s assessment.

Harden has to play well. The team got Harden to lift the other players on the team. IF the other players have to lift Harden…. it’s like dropping anchor on a sinking ship.

What is SAS talking about? James Harden of Houston had the highest usage rate at the time. There is no taking the ball away from Harden.

Yo stephen a smith literally doesn’t know anything about basketball! TYRESE MAXEY thrives off the ball. He isn’t an on ball type of player. He had to be this year bcuz he was forced to switch positions and adapt to being the starting point guard. But maxey excels off the ball especially now with harden being pg

What they are asking JAMES HARDEN to do is be CHRIS PAUL for the Sixers…and he’s not BUILT MENTALLY LIKE THAT. Harden is a scorer trying to BECOME a leader. Chris Paul is a born LEADER who can score when needed…BIG DIFFERENCE! The Sixers really need Chris Paul for their team but that ship has sailed. Carry On…

What is Stephen A talking about? Maxey is LITERALLY playing off-ball half of the time and he’s doing great!

Maxey doesn’t operate from the PG Spot. I SWEAR its almost embarrassing how little dudes know about basketball. Lol

At this point, I’m taking Maxey over Harden. That kid is waiting to be unleashed. Harden is actually slowing his growth.

Love how Boston is ignored by mainstream media over and over again. You are actually doing us a favor by puting this Celtics team on the spot of underdogs.

This regular season seems to me is more a popularity contest like the mvp, numbers don’t matter right now.

Both Maxey and Doc have said maxey is most comfortable off the ball.

As a soccer fan from Africa i find basketball intriguing and this is the most interesting topic for me, the conversation of facilitator vs scorer and the sacrifice sometimes needed to get the W. Organised sport is played with areas marked off with lines and a whistle, we forget about that beautiful side of all team sports which is the facilitator. I guess to appreciate it you have to notice the nuances of the game and find joy in that. I agree with Magic.

Stephen a is totally wrong about maxey, his natural position is off ball as a cutter/shooter
