Tyrese Maxey asked ‘Big Brother’ LeBron James about Jersey

When Anthony Davis left the game early due to an abdominal strain, LeBron James did his best to put Los Angeles Lakers on his back against the Philadelphia 76ers. But the Lakers defense had absolutely no answer for the 76ers All-Star Guard Tyrese Maxey, who ended with 43 points when LA fell 118-104 on the road.

Maxey has evolved into one of NBA’s best young guards in the past few seasons. His speed makes him almost impossible to get ahead, and Lakers certainly didn’t do it on Tuesday night when he got something he wanted.

The night got better for Maxey after the game as well as he asked and received a jersey from LeBron which he is very close, via NBA on x:

“I told him after the game I said, ‘See man. I waited five years to ask for a sweater. I know I’ve known you for a while, but I think I’ll go ahead and get it this year. ‘And he was like’ Okay Cool. ‘ But he’s like a big brother to me. Same agent. I worked with him a couple of times every summer. We worked at six and I wanted to beat him to the gym a few times and he was like ‘nah, I can’t let it happen’ so he started to get to the gym at five and lifted. So he was in full sweat like at. 05:30, when I came to the gym and I was like, ‘man, you got it, man. You win, I don’t want to lie. ‘But he’s big. He is the biggest ever, him and Jordan are right there neck and throat, and what he has done for our game has been great. “

Maxey is represented by Rich Paul and Klutch Sports, allowing the relationship between him and LeBron to grow over the years. After five years, he finally felt ready to ask for a jersey from someone he obviously admires, and it was great for the two to be able to have that moment.

Obviously, LeBron would have wished this had come after a Lakers victory, not a disappointing performance on which the team. But even still, it’s always nice to see the young talents in the league recognize everything he has done for the basketball match.

LeBron James evaluates Bronny James’ performance for Lakers

LeBron James also got to share a time of court with his son Bronny James when JJ Redick turned to the Lakers -Rookie guard. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make his shots fall and fought, as most people do, tried to defend Tyrese Maxey. But LeBron was still encouraged.

After the game, LeBron talked about Bronny’s performance and thought he was playing well early, but felt that the most important thing is that he continues to become more comfortable and feels that Lakers -rookie will continue to use this to get better.

“I thought early, he just played. I think he played well early. Was able to get behind the defense of one and find Jaxson for a thump that was good. Of course, some shots missed, but it’s just about getting more and more comfortable. Of course, his first extensive minutes were with us. We had the first game where it was just a moment and it was a fantastic moment, but tonight his first was the opportunity to be with the big club. He will continue to use it to get better and better, just like his first time he played with the G League. The more and more opportunities you get, hopefully he gets more options with us, it’s obvious out of his hands, but what he can control is how he works on his game to get better and better, which we’ve seen him do Since moment he went into the Minnesota game to today. “
