McCain, who was the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, already has over 3 million followers on TikTok thanks to his dances and other viral videos. The 20-year-old even said that he hopes to include All-Star teammates Paul George and Tyrese Maxey in his content, during an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints. “If I could one day get Tyrese Maxey or Paul George in a TikTok that’d be amazing, but I’m not gonna force it in their faces by any means,” he stated. “Hopefully, I can get them in one after a big win or something ..read more

Caleb Martin, for example, is that versatile role player who always seems to make big plays on the game’s biggest stage in the playoffs. He was a key piece for the Miami Heat having so much success in the past and will look to bring that to Philadelphia. “You hear me talk a lot about versatility,” said coach Nick Nurse. “I think we’ve got a lot of guys who are versatile — can play a number of positions, guard a number of positions, and just enhance our team by being versatile in general. But listen, I love Caleb. I think his competitive spirit, how hard he plays, and his athleticism are kind o ..read more

“As excited as we are about some of the things — obviously Paul George headlining — I think a lot of the other moves were super critical,” said Nurse. “There were things that we think we needed to get done. For example, Drummond backing up Joel. I think everyone understands that we needed a good veteran guy who can start. If we need him to play some games 40 minutes, 38 minutes, whatever it is, we’ve got a guy who can do it and provide incredible presence around the basket ..read more

Carmelo Anthony on the banana boat picture: ‘I see the yellow boat, I see that and I’m driving to the book because I’m going to take my luggage. I need a glass of champagne, I’ve been traveling for a long time. Then I see them and they’re like ‘Yo! Yo! Come on! I look and I say ‘No, I’m going to the boat, man’. So in the picture, everybody thinks that I’m on the boat! I’m not on the boat! It’s Bron, CP, D-Wade and Gab. (…) So I went to the boat and they pulled up on the banana boat and they like ‘Yo! Come on”, and I say ‘There’s no way I’m getting on that with y’all. If they catch a picture ..read more

His time at the top of the organizational totem pole, saddled with the requisite pressures and responsibilities, was brief and disappointing. Not only did his numbers suffer, but his Nets finished a dispiriting 32-50. In retrospect, Mikal Bridges acknowledged his leadership shortcomings. “It could’ve been better,” Bridges said on “Podcast P’ with Paul George” during Summer League this month. “But it’s different. I was close with everybody, we were all pretty close. We just couldn’t figure it out. I think that was the toughest situation. You want to lead and help other guys, but somet ..read more

Tyrese Maxey had “no idea” why his family was traveling up the escalator at the Four Seasons hotel earlier this summer. His mother, Denyse, had an inkling, but did not realize the full scope of what they were about to experience. And then they all walked into the Maxey Museum. It featured video messages that brought him to tears from Philly basketball legends, along with personal family and friends. And mementos from his basketball journey, from his first pair of basketball shoes, to the NBA honors acquired during his fourth 76ers season. And 200 handwritten letters from fans, detailing how hi ..read more

They compiled video highlights of Maxey’s Sixers career, along with data about jersey sales and community endeavors. They mocked up sketches and physical renderings on how the physical and digital aspects could all be assembled cohesively. They kept adding to the collection in real time, after Maxey won the NBA’s Most Improved Player and Sportsmanship awards, and went on a wild scoring flurry at Madison Square Garden in Game 5 of the Sixers’ playoff series against the New York Knicks. They even created a nine-foot hologram. And when they asked prominent connections, such as Dawn Staley and Joh ..read more
