Bad look. Even if they’re winning this mentality isn’t conducive to winning.

[–] Fluix@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man is literally running marathons, I think he deserves to say those words.

[–] Charliebitme1234@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Remember when russ did this same shit 2 says ago and the thread had 500 comments saying how shit he was?

I dont really care about it either way but keep it consistent at-least

[–] HisExcellency20@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't think Maxey has ever asked for a fan to be rejected from the arena for calling him names.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To be fair, Maxey has never been put into that position. No one knows how he'd react

[–] 420209@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's this in response to? What's the context? I imagine it's another degenerate fiend needing his parlay hit? Could be wrong though.

Still has a smile on his face even when he’s pissed. Good lad.

[–] HisExcellency20@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Without Joel, and already down Oubre, he basically had to chuck every semi-open three he could to try to keep this game close. He didn't hit many lol. The entire team's strategy to start was to go small (since we can't go big) and take as many threes as possible (while not being able to generate open looks) and hope some go in so this can be competitive. They didn't and it wasn't.

Hating on Maxey is some loser shit. I would legit only expect that from Philly fans tbh

[–] feifanfish@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maxey is one of the nicest people in the league. Stop overanalyzing

[–] cyb3ryung@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

beginning of the maxey villain arc?

[–] BeastaBubbles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love Maxey and I never want to see him again

[–] JayNBA5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

u/savevideo

[–] livefreeordont@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He should have been locking up Zion

[–] dys0n_giddey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This has Jabari "I don't get paid to play defense" Parker vibes

[–] legend023@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If Jordan Poole said this the pitchforks would be out like crazy

[–] odontodoc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maxey can do no wrong. Even if he replied that his teammates are scrubs and him and Joel are the team, he still would be super endearing.

[–] Far-Director-9701@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He could be responding to a fan crying about their parlay...And in that case this is a completely reasonable response.

[–] COMMENTASIPLEASE@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s what I assume it’s about

[–] Cvnilivee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Was at Knicks vs Hornets Tuesday… dudes sitting behind me would NOT shut the fuck up about Brunson needing to hit three 3s for a parlay to hit.

[–] bigbenis2021@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

sports betting is ruining the game.

[–] zincinzincout@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s every game and bar, man

Teens, college aged kids, and dudes in their 30s everywhere I go are in squadrons crying about their moneyline and parlays every single place I watch a game. It’s so frustrating

[–] RedMoloney@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely. Why else would he be saying to a Pelicans fan "What more do you want me to do?"

[–] Legitimate_Hawk_2143@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

0 dawg in him. You think Jordan was saying this? Kobe? Win bro that’s what you need to do. Find a way. You’re suppose to be the guy that suppose to replace last years harden. Unfortunately, City of Philadelphia breeds pussies.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

TIL Kobe and MJ never lost a game

[–] Alex_Phillips_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He had 33 pts on over 50% shooting he did his job

[–] Jerruhs_glory_Hole@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Talkkkk alot smack over the internet don't yaa?

[–] tigerpawn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Finally, we've hit this stage... the toxicity of NBA fandom has come for the sweetest kid in the league lmao

[–] lolcat351@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a Raptors fan, I sports hate your entire team with the heat of a burning star except for Maxey. His smile is infectious and his play is joyous! So lucky you get to watch him night to night. Protect this kid!

[–] echtav@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Nah it’s impossible to hate on him

[–] ViCarly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We are on a post about somebody hating on him lol

[–] aaden08@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You sure? People used to say that about KD and Kawhi until their villain arcs

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

For now I'd agree. But you never know

[–] quesadillakid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Its the gambling addicts going after him im afraid

[–] aaden08@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They're trash

[–] tigerpawn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You're probably right. It's the only thing that makes sense in this context. Had to be about a parlay lol Rese usually doesn't talk about his numbers mostly a team first kind of guy

[–] ashep5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I go to smoothie king centre, look how many points I get

[–] fibberjabber@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's trying Jennifer

[–] allertedshark86@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I want you to cut that gross lil chin beard, that’s what else I want you to do

[–] ZachPlaysDrums@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And get those head twitches under control

But seriously what is that noticed it all game

[–] onanaut@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Westbrook take notes. This is how you talk back to fans.

[–] krazy9000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Watching this game i got nothing but good vibes from Maxey. They were down almost 30 at one point and he was playing hard and smiling and being a good competitor. He never got overly frustrated or anything like that. Dude was just talking shit to some clown people.

[–] Phoebesdaddy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Surprised no one has commented on how Hawkins is clearly reacting to the fan at the beginning of the video too. So whatever was said, I don’t think Maxey was the one out of line here

[–] read-only2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

33 points. -11.

[–] 2screens1guy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

For some reason "official chicken of the pelicans" seems so funny to me. Chicken is chicken lol
