Because you get the national reporters there, there's all types of questions.
00:02:19
Speaker 4: So that coming up.
00:02:20
Speaker 3: The seventy six Ers Insiders podcast has more interviews with Maxi campaign last week, be sure to check that out. And right before we came on, Darius Baisley was signed officially by the Sixers to a ten day contract, So Nick, Lauren and I will discuss that in the second segment tonight. The tough schedule coming up for these Sixers, Nicks, Calves, Bucks, Celtics. The next four the top four in the East, but the Sixers are only a half game back at the break of the New York Knicks for the fourth spot. At the six Ers are thirty two and twenty two. New York is thirty three and twenty two. But Lauren Rosen, Hello, I know you're sending out an alert to potential listeners.
00:02:59
Speaker 5: Listen.
00:03:00
Speaker 2: If there's one thing I'm good for, it's a little extra content. So happy as always to be back with you two and Matt. You had a busy weekend at the All Stars.
00:03:08
Speaker 4: Did you said over text? How was it? I said cold?
00:03:11
Speaker 3: Or you said I heard I'm hearing good things and I just responded cold.
00:03:15
Speaker 2: Maxi's performance fits photos also cold. Yeah, okay, sorry, continue tell us more about the game.
00:03:23
Speaker 4: It was really it was really cool.
00:03:25
Speaker 3: I'm gonna plug my feature article on sixers dot com going inside Tyrese Maxi's twenty twenty four NBA All Star weekend really from start to finish. To be around him on the Friday was interesting because you may have heard out there that he did a live podcast of Maxi on the Mic with Asia Wilson from the Law Vegas Aces. That was his fifth official appearance of Friday. So I followed him from the morning. Then he had five photo stations for the NBA and various things in between a ton of sit down extended interviews. So that's when we were talking Nick in the first segment about how much goes into it when you're on when you're one of the twenty four players chosen for the actual All Star Game, that's when your schedule really fills up. It's sometimes easier for the young guys who are there for the rising Stars or other players who are not in the game but are in the three point contest to enjoy the experience a little bit more. Not saying Tyreese didn't enjoy it. He was just busier. But I know you've gone to All Star weekend before. When you're one of the twelve guys in either conference, your schedule is booked by the minute.
00:04:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, people need their content apparently, and you know, I feel like, especially a lot of these old heads, they're probably not trying to do five or six podcasts or appearance is within an evening, So perfect opportunity for Tyree to you know, show up, appeer, get his name out there, show the world his personality and so people can learn more about him. And you know, he's young enough where he still has the energy to go out there and perform afterwards.
00:05:06
Speaker 3: And another young guy is Pallo ben Caro. And just a note in passing is that it was about four pm on Sunday and he was coming into the convention Center to do an appearance and the game is the arrival for the game was maybe only an hour or two after that. He was coming to meet with fans around four pm. And that's not the type of stuff that Lebron James is. Lebron did his press conference that most people do on the morning the day before at practice, he did that two three hours before the game at the arena. So that's the type of treatment that someone like Lebron James gets. We will hear from Tyrese Maxi within this segment in a few minutes. Our producer tonight is Silvana Kelleher So thanks to Sylvana as always. But here on sixers in sixty Matt Murphy, Nick stauskis Lauren Rose. And another event that Maxi did on Friday was in collaboration with the NBA two K League and he played against Tyrese Halliburton in two K and Maxy won that It was one of the few things that Halliburton fell short on in his home All Star weekend. He was one of the biggest stars in the spotlight because the home fans love him so much and he was starting. But Maxy beat the other tyres in NBA two K and then I was as I was trailing them through the Convention Center. After MAXI got a wrestling style belt for winning the two K event, and Haliburton said, if you bring that to practice tomorrow, I'm gonna throw it in the trash.
00:06:29
Speaker 4: And I didn't.
00:06:30
Speaker 3: I did not see the belt the next day at practice. I think it's worth

revisiting our picks for the events because the Skills Challenge was won by Team Pacers and none of us had that. There's some home cooking going on. There's some conspiracy theories that the Home team, the trio of Home team players for the All Star Game is won the Skills Challenge now three years in a row, and Miles Turner had to prove his biggest doubt or Nick Staus gets wrong by helping to win the Skills Challenge.
00:06:56
Speaker 4: You know what I was.
00:06:57
Speaker 6: I will admit I was wrong, but I will say this, I am not a fan of the Skills competition.
00:07:02
Speaker 4: It was confusing. I think it's a snoozefest.
00:07:06
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, they need to modify it, just like the game in some ways.
00:07:09
Speaker 4: They need to figure out a way to make it a little bit better.
00:07:11
Speaker 6: Yes, they need to figure out a way to make it a little bit shorter and a little bit more entertaining, and you know, just again the guy guy's not really giving full effort, Like when I see Scotty Barnes dribble the ball off his leg and then start throwing it backwards from half court.
00:07:26
Speaker 3: There was a tweet that said, it looks like he's dribbling with high heels on when he stumbled out of the gate a little bit and and Maxie went the wrong way. I don't think they need the dribbling part of it. They should just do other cooler challenge.
00:07:39
Speaker 5: There was there not some confusion with.
00:07:40
Speaker 3: Like the led, Yes there was. MAXI did mention that we won't hear that. We'll hear him talking about various other topics. But there it lit up the ground. It was not like a normal playing surface. It was the led court and as they moved, it was moving with them a little bit.
00:07:58
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
00:07:58
Speaker 3: There was a walk through about an hour an hour and a half before. I don't know if Tyresee was told other information to start by going right or left and it was the other way when he when he began, but the refs literally stopped him in his tracks. And so that's why they added some time on and they weren't ultimately able to come back against Team Pacers in win. But you could probably find cooler challenges for these super talented guys to showcase their skills than something like a dribbling maze.
00:08:24
Speaker 6: I think, and a lot of people have said it on social media. I think there needs to be a one on one or two on two tournament of some sort.
00:08:32
Speaker 4: Or could that be the actual game or that I and listen.
00:08:35
Speaker 6: I think that's what the fans want to see, is just any kind of a competitive environment with the best players in the world. And again, I think if if throughout the weekend maybe guys were giving one hundred percent effort, there wouldn't be a need for that. But I do think a lot of people would love to see, you know, Lebron James versus Kevin Durant one on one, you know, Steph Curry versus Damian Lillard one on one. I think that would put people in seats, sell tickets, viewership would be up. I know for me personally, I'd be glued to my screen watching that, So.
00:09:07
Speaker 4: I would love to see it.
00:09:08
Speaker 2: The one on one idea to me is a good one and just from having watched this Sixers team, specifically, let's bring it back home to Philadelphia and to Camden, New Jersey.
00:09:17
Speaker 5: This team has.
00:09:18
Speaker 2: Gone through, of course, multiple iterations already this season. The training camp group that gathered in Fort Collins, Colorado did not look like the team that gathered at Thanksgiving, nor Christmas, nor at the deadline, nor following the All Star break. But throughout in every iteration, this is a team that really enjoys playing one on one against each other, and people don't realize. I know some of the guys have talked about it publicly, so I'm not breaking any news here, but they request to play ones in practice in shoot around like they have a lot of fun competing against one another behind.
00:09:47
Speaker 5: Closed doors, and so I would love love for.
00:09:50
Speaker 2: Fans to get to see what that type of situation looks like, because these are the best players in the world doing exactly what everybody at home is doing in their driveway, and it's a ton of fun.
00:10:00
Speaker 4: I'm all for that and less injury risk.
00:10:02
Speaker 3: I suppose playing one on one competitively versus five on five, there's more space.
00:10:07
Speaker 4: Right and you're playing in the half court.
00:10:08
Speaker 6: Maybe you even make three three dribble limit something along those lines to make.
00:10:14
Speaker 4: That's usually one of the rules.
00:10:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we've unlocked media stauskus, now it's time to unlock competition committees.
00:10:19
Speaker 4: Doft right. Well, I mean, you can't give Steph Curry unlimited dribbles. You're just not gonna be able to guard them.
00:10:23
Speaker 6: You're messed up for it, So you got to limit the dribbles. But I think that would be entertaining. I think a lot of people would love to see that. But at the same time, I do think guys are afraid of that competition. They're afraid of maybe getting shown up on a big stage like that.
00:10:40
Speaker 3: We need the guys who want it. Tyrese Maxi would fit the bill.
00:10:43
Speaker 4: I know. Well that's what I'm saying. I think Tyres needs to be in the three point shootout. He was, Yeah, I would love to see that.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: That was something something else that was uncovered this weekend after he had done the skills challenge, he apparently said I should have done the shooting when he was watching my pick. Malik Beasley only put up twenty in the first round, so I did not get it right. You both nailed it with Damian Lillard, who repeated as the three point champion and then later won the MVP award. That's the type of competitive player. He talked about his legacy and needing to include some of these
All Star wins, and he's like, if I'm gonna start in the All Star Game, I'm going to go for the MVP.
00:11:20
Speaker 4: And if I'm going to be.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: In the three point contest, I might as well try to win it again. But it would have been cool to see Max in the three point.
00:11:26
Speaker 6: I'm sure he'll get his opportunity at some point, you know, he's he's improved his jump shot throughout his career so far, he's taking and making more of them, and as he continues to be an All Star, his name will be in the spotlight and I'm sure they'll they'll give him that opportunity at one point or another.
00:11:41
Speaker 3: I redeemed myself with my Dunk pick. Though Mac McClung also a repeat champion, I had that, Jayleen Brown, you both picked this En Jalen Brown.
00:11:52
Speaker 2: Listen, we thought that he had something in his bag if he was gonna do it.
00:11:55
Speaker 4: Listen.
00:11:56
Speaker 3: His friend Dunk was like he was on a fast break in a game again.
00:11:59
Speaker 4: I love JB.
00:12:01
Speaker 6: That's my guy, played with them in box, them love him, But there's a conspiracy going on right now. I don't know how he even got to the finals, Like what was the grading system that the judges were on, because I was not agreeing with some of the scores that were handed out, like for example, the mac mcclun dunk where he tossed it to himself as off like froze in the air for he dropped it.
00:12:23
Speaker 4: He dropped it.
00:12:24
Speaker 3: He said he wanted to extend his arms even further out, but it was his second attempt, so he couldn't risk it.
00:12:29
Speaker 6: That was one of the coolest dunks I ever seen. The fact that they didn't give him a fifty is it blows my mind.
00:12:34
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what they're grading on.
00:12:37
Speaker 2: I was with you and listen what as we just discussed with Damian Lillard. With Steph Curry participating in Saturday Night, these are the things you want to see. So you got to reward Jalen Brown for wanting to participate in the dunk test. It's been a while since we've seen an All Star do at a player of his caliber competing at the caliber of a Jalen Brown, a Boston Celtics team that's one of the best in the East and the league on a nightly basis, and he still wants to participate. We got to reward that. That being said, we got we.
00:13:05
Speaker 5: Needed to see more. I thought that there was going to be more.
00:13:08
Speaker 6: I thought that I it was. It was not a great performance on his on his behalf. I think he's a good dunker, but after seeing those the tricks, if that's what you want to call it, that he had it, it did not live up to my.
00:13:23
Speaker 2: Extra Maybe he just didn't know he was supposed to bring out shack. He didn't know it was a requirement.
00:13:27
Speaker 3: Two of the four guys did, and Hawk has started it. But then McClung's was more impressive to bring the high school jersey, have a shack sized jersey of your high school team. So this was obviously planned for a while, but I wish only one guy, you know, had the shack element to it. But Mac McClung gets the job done over Jim Hawks, Jacob Toppin, Obie's brother, and Jalen Brown, And to bring it back to Tyrese MAXI we're gonna hear some of what he said, Lauren, but I mean the first thing that stood out, and this is out on the Sixers social media and it came out in the first couple days there that he's extremely happy to be out there for the seventy six ers because they took a chance on him. It was very nice to hear that, and you know, it goes both ways, that feeling of taking a chance or like it's not all Sixers taking a chance on Tyrese Maxey. I think he's he's done a lot himself to help the franchise and he was rewarded for it in the All Star Spotlight.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like we've we've gone through this narrative now so many times on this show, on our other shows.
00:14:33
Speaker 5: You hear it from us a lot.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: But every time there is a benchmark set for Tyrese Maxey, he reaches it and then some I mean, if you had told I think back to the twenty twenty NBA Draft Tyree sitting in his home in Garland, Texas with his family, his family which by the way, joined him this weekend at the All Star Game, which was so.
00:14:52
Speaker 3: They were squad deep wonderful to see I say, that the whole time he was walking around, if there was a group of twenty people, there were fifteen pairs of new balances, and.
00:15:01
Speaker 5: Listen, that's how you support.
00:15:02
Speaker 2: Your All Star, right, But Matt, I always think about Malika Andrews interviewing Tyrese Maxei remotely after getting picked later than expected in that NBA draft, and the emotion that Tyree showed as he said to the camera he wanted to thank the Philadelphia seventy six ers for taking a chance on him, and he promised that it wouldn't be a regret.
00:15:23
Speaker 5: And then you just look at the four years that have followed.
00:15:26
Speaker 2: Outstanding stuff as a rookie, despite having to fight his way into every single minute that he played, outstanding stuff as a second year player, stepping in when he was down, an All Star teammate, doing the same thing again a couple years later last season, of course, nearing All Star territory, dealing with an injury, becoming one of the best three point shooters in the league. The list goes on and on and on, and benchmarks are going continue to be set for him. But the thing is, now people know that he has the work ethic, he has the talent, he has the perseverance to get through every single benchmarkt Like Nick Stauskis just told us, he's gonna be back at the All Star Game. He's gonna have an opportunity to participate in the three point shooting contest, and I will not bet against him when we do this again next year.
00:16:07
Speaker 3: I think that's a yeah, that's a good bet to make here on Sixers in sixty Matt Murphy, Lauren Rosen, Nick
Stauskis. We've got plenty more to talk about, including the Darius Baisley ten day contract signing which just went official before we started Sixers in sixty tonight, Kyle Lowry debut upcoming on a tough schedule for the Sixers. We'll have some basketball reference trivia with Nick Stauskis as well. But before we get into all of that, this chunk of Tyrese Maxi sound bites comes from Saturday afternoon. The East Eastern Conference had the twelve pm All Star practice and open practice in front of some very excited fans, and then Tyrese Maxi took the podium and after what he said was a hard practice leading up to the All Star Game the next night, and here's a bunch of what MAXI had to say.
00:17:04
Speaker 4: Uh.
00:17:05
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know what my biggest doubt was. I tried not to have much doubt. Maybe, like I don't know, second or third grade is when I was having doubt. That's a long time ago though, right, But uh, that I knew I could be an all star NBA player, I mean, you.
00:17:19
Speaker 4: Always dream of it.
00:17:21
Speaker 1: But I think I'll say this, like in sixth grade, I tell this story a little bit. I broke my finger in like a championship game, middle school championship game, like the first quarter, and I continue on and play like with one hand. It was able to like school like forty five points, and I was like, maybe I can be, you know, be really good at this. So I just kept working and preparing, and now we're here.
00:17:42
Speaker 4: Uh.
00:17:43
Speaker 1: I mean I think when we traded for James my second year, and I think I had like four or five consecutive thirty twenty five point games something like that, and I just like I felt like I was I was progressively getting better and better every single day. And then coming into my third year, I knew my role. I went out there and I was I had like four year in the game and I was scoring at a hot clip and you know, shooting pretty well and just was helping us bring in wins. I was like, man, maybe I could do it, but I got hurt. And then this year coming in, I just I mean, Joelle told me from day one, like, You're gonna be an offstar this year.
00:18:14
Speaker 4: We're gonna win a lot of games. We're gonna have a lot of fun.
00:18:16
Speaker 1: So being able to experience all this with my family, you know, my entire family's here, from all the way down to my nieces, my twin nieces to my grandmother. So for them to be here and support me, and it's just been a great. Man, it's like emotional time, Like I'm just so happy that my mom, my dad, that they really get to experience this. And then everybody else, they just I love them. I appreciate them. They showed me love all the time and support, so they deserve it just as much as I do.
00:18:41
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. It's a little different.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: It's a little weird, you know, just seeing these guys in the locker room, Like when I walked in, you're so used to seeing them on the post scouting report. To see him in the same locker room as you and about to go out there and play a basketball game with youson. Like everybody's relax, everybody just talking, everybody just laughing and having jokes or whatever. So it's been pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie. It's just nice moment. It means the world to me. Honestly. I always talk about how my grandmother who passed away, she she growing up, she always wanted to be like as soon as I got to this this statue or this this form, she wanted to be able to give back and be somebody who a little kids can look up to, and you know they could just have a role model and somebody that can reach out and touch and recoutch and really like resemble. And I feel like I've done that in the summertime. No, no, no, nobody's beat me to Jim certain time. I willln't allow it. And if somebody does come early and not come earlier. The only story that I have about somebody beat me in the summertime is Braun. Actually, we're working out at six and you know I get there, always get there early, like five thirty so I can stretch and do everything. So he saw that I was getting there at five thirtis like, you know what, I'm gonna get there at five and I'm ana lift. So I get there at five thirties in a full sweat after done lifted, I'm like, what is wrong with you?
00:19:48
Speaker 4: And he's like, I can't let you beat me to the gym.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: This is like year twenty one for him, So you know that's just test money to his greatness. But I will give a shout out to p Read from Philly. Paul Reid, He's somebody like during the even during the season, he's he's trying to beat me to the gym every single day, and I think it's it's been great for him. I think it's made him better and that competition is really good for our team. Anybody who plays with that chip on the shoulder and plays with that aggression, they're going to be successful. And I feel like what it has done for me iss made me stay humble, keep me working, and keep me going out the goals. Not just my goals, but our team goes as well. So as long as we're doing that, as long as I'm doing that and keep aggressing, keep getting one percent better every single day, I think we'll be alright, are you talking about if you think somebody can get eighty or ninety?
00:20:27
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, I do.
00:20:30
Speaker 1: I think Joe could get ady and I have been a couple of times he set out, you know, fourth quarters where I think he could have got seventy. I think seventy was like that was not easy for him. But he's really good at basketball, so I think if he tries and plays the whole game, or plays like forty eight men and something like that, he'll probably get eighty.
00:20:46
Speaker 3: The Best of Sixers All Star Tyrese Maxi at Media Day on Saturday in Indianapolis, Matt Murphy and Lauren Rosen joined by Nickstauskas. Nickstowskas, do you think someone like Joel Embiid could get eighty or ninety soon in the NBA?
00:21:03
Speaker 4: Yes? And I said this
after he scored the seventy.
00:21:07
Speaker 6: I said, all things considered, I don't think he played his best game. And what I mean by that, especially in that first half. I think he had thirty four thirty six in the first half of that game, and I counted at least four or five makeable pull up jumpers within fifteen feet that he normally makes, and he missed them, and even throughout the game, it wasn't like he was just on fire and couldn't miss, like he had his stretches where he was scoring, but there was a lot of makeable shots that just didn't go in for him. And so my thing is is if he has a game where he just goes like thirty for forty from the field, I think that's.
00:21:47
Speaker 4: I think that's the game. But he can do it. Yeah, he can do it. He just needs to get hot.
00:21:51
Speaker 6: But like he could get that free throw line jumper whenever he wants, and so that's that's what gives him the capability of getting to that level. Which is also crazy because he really doesn't need the three to do it. He doesn't need three pointers. He just needs to make thirty pull up fifteen footers.
00:22:07
Speaker 2: Which I mean, he's shot more efficiently than twenty four for forty one many many times.
00:22:12
Speaker 5: But the thing with the seven or forty is should be easy.
00:22:16
Speaker 3: He did still end up getting some of the points in the seventy point game off his own missus, so he would get two points back that he would have gotten, so his field goal percentage would have been better, but the points total may not have been that much higher. I believe that it's possible as well. That was one of the questions that was asked to everybody, kind of to paint the picture. They were all at different podiums in the same room. Tyrese Maxi facing his former coach Doc Rivers, who was on the opposite podium at the same exact time, and then like five or six other ones, but there were it was madness. People were walking up to Tyreese screaming out, who's the best tysh talker in the NBA? Who do you think somebody could score eighty or ninety? And Tyree at first misinterpreted it as eighty or ninety point games between two teams. He's like, yeah, maybe in the playoffs teams locked down and the games played in the eighties or nineties, And everyone was like, what is he saying? And then he's like, oh, that's why he started by saying, oh, you meant a player getting eighty or ninety And he answered with Joel and his patented line of Joel Embiid is really good at basketball or very good at basketball one and the same. But yeah, here on sixers in sixty. Reflecting on Tyrese Maxi's first All Star Game appearance in Indianapolis along with Lauren Rosen and Nick Stauskis Matt Murphy. We did want to mention the Sabrina Yonesku Stephen Curry three point contest, which for many was the highlight of the entire weekend. I'm sure that Maxie was a fan of that contest as well. Sabrina came out, didn't miss her first few, and then Steph Curry, always the showman, makes his last shot to win, but they both shot from the NBA line and Sabrina really really held her own.
00:23:58
Speaker 2: It was just cool to see and obviously, as the woman on the panel tonight, like it might have meant a little bit more to me, but it really did.
00:24:06
Speaker 5: It was awesome to watch. It was awesome to.
00:24:08
Speaker 2: Hear Sabrina decide that she wanted to beat Steph at his game shoot from his line, to see her almost do it, to see how seriously Steph took it as well, like Steph needed to shoot really well in order to beat her, and that's the greatest shooter sort of universally accepted greatest shooter of all time needed to have a really good shooting night in order to beat another one of the greatest shooters of all time. It was really special to watch. I can't help but be a little sentimental about the kids that were watching at home. And we've talked about this quite a bit, especially when it comes to Tyrese Maxey, someone whose father, Tyrone famously showed Tyrese Scandice Parker highlights growing up, because Tyrese's father him growing up and would show him film and they would watch a lot of Terry's talks about it, Dwayne Wade tape and Kyrie Irving tape, but they would also.
00:24:56
Speaker 5: Watch Candace Parker tape.
00:24:58
Speaker 2: And the fact that there is a generation of NBA All Stars now that also grew up watching women play the game is so cool.
00:25:05
Speaker 5: It's changing. So I'll hop off my soapbox.
00:25:07
Speaker 2: But I know that what we saw from Steph and Sabrina meant a lot to a lot of kids out there that don't know why it means so much quite yet, obviously, but for people like me to be able to watch that was just special. And I loved the mutual respect that the two of them, Steph and Sabrina share for each other.
00:25:23
Speaker 3: No I, as she put it, if you can shoot, you can shoot. I absolutely loved that and maybe this leads to something more. I mean, Caitlin Clark is about to emerge onto the scene. And for years now it's been get a G League player in the three point contest to represent that league and have a WNBA player represent this and put them in the dunk We've seen them in the dunk contest from the G League and kind of making it normalizing a little bit. And this was maybe the first step towards that with Sabrina as a Trailblazer.
00:25:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, I tip my hat to her also because there was That's not an easy environment to go out and just get twenty six points. It was a football stadium too, it was All Stars Saturday Night pack for the first time. That is a tough environment and for her to have to go first. If listen, like, if she went out there and scored ten, there would be a lot of slander out there on social media.
00:26:20
Speaker 4: Oh you know, she doesn't belong Why.
00:26:22
Speaker 6: Would they bring her here for her to go out there and tie the score. The highest score of the actual three point shootout, twenty six was what
Damian Lillard won with.
00:26:33
Speaker 4: That is unbelievable.
00:26:34
Speaker 6: I really really tip my hat to her because it was one of those things where you just have to respect it. Like you said, if you could shoot, you can shoot, And it doesn't matter whether you're a man a woman. If you have that talent, you have that talent. And she made Steph work for it. And also hats off to Steph for going in there and also just casually beating everyone's score for the entire day, Like, yeah, if I was in the three point shoot, I would have won it. That's pretty much what he said. But overall, that was definitely for me the highlight of the night. I really thought it was a special moment for basketball in general.
00:27:08
Speaker 2: I do want to shout out Steph one more time too, because when you think about it, who had more to gain in that one v one?
00:27:14
Speaker 4: Oh?
00:27:14
Speaker 2: I mean, Sabrina was the one that had everything to gain and Steph loses that contest and were people would have slandered him, right, And this is someone again universally accepted as the greatest shooter of all time. And he said, you know what, No, this is a competition that I want to be part of. I know I could lose. He knows how good she is. He went into that building knowing that he could lose, and he did it anyway. So bigger shouts of course to Sabrina for what she was able to do a bit, but Steph Curry deserves a lot of credit for what he did.
00:27:40
Speaker 3: That's amazing that they both delivered to the extent that they were able to. Because when in the age take in the Age day things saying things are scripted, the season scripted, the team's wins and losses are scripted. They still had to shoot the shots, and they made mostly all of them.
00:27:56
Speaker 6: That is not an easy environment to make shots, you know. It is just I really tip my hat to both of them for the performance they put on. As a shooter, I think I would be a little bit nervous in that scenario. And you know, Sabrina going out there and making it was like nine out of her first ten. Casually, I'm like, oh man, she might clear this thing. She came ready to go.
00:28:22
Speaker 3: So I believe we have this cut of Tyrese Maxi. Silvana says, we have it. Lauren, you mentioned Dwayne Wade, one of Maxi's idols, and for Maxi, as a first time All Star, he found himself found himself in the shoes of the person on the other side of this that the fans get to meet this weekend in Indianapolis.
00:28:45
Speaker 1: So Lostaga came to Dallas. I don't remember what year that was, but it was it was snowing and it was snowing.
00:28:54
Speaker 6: Just like it is now.
00:28:56
Speaker 4: Yes, it is snowy.
00:28:58
Speaker 1: So it's like wow, like it comes fuller for me because I got to go to something like the Band of It and I had one of those today. I mean I was walking through and I was like, man, and I was stopping to trying to sign as.
00:29:07
Speaker 3: Much as I could.
00:29:07
Speaker 4: It was like, this was beaty.
00:29:09
Speaker 1: I was one of those kids. Yeah, I had an East Off Star, Dwayne Wade, you know, walking through that school.
00:29:15
Speaker 3: So in the Dallas All Star Game in twenty ten, Dwayne Wade went on to win MVP. That was a football stadium for the game, so over like one hundred and ten thousand people or something, a record amount of fans went to that game, and Maxie was there as a fan to see someone like Dwayne Wade. And he actually then added that he got to speak to Dwayne Wade this weekend and tell him that story of wearing his jersey, which was just an added bonus for Maxie, I'm sure, but in our last couple of minutes here I did want to try to sneak in trivia with Nick Stauskas if we can. Matt Murphy and Lauren Rosen here as well. The Darius Baisley signing now official to a ten day contract, tearing it up with the Blue Coats twenty oh deserve yes, well deserved, oh radio round of applause. We've broadcast with D Lineum, Nick Stauskas and I have broadcast some Blue Coats games with D featuring Darius Baisley as the main guy in the Ricky Council Sixers era. Turquaveon Smith up with the Sixers a lot and Lofton not with the Blue Coats either, Kenny Lofton. So it's been Baislely and to another extent, Jeff Dalton junior, but they've been dominating. Now he gets a ten day contract. What's that like? You signed multiple in your career, and I know one never even fully came to fruition with Toronto.
00:30:31
Speaker 6: Right. The Toronto one was both of my ten days were during the COVID era. Toronto ended up not working out because I tested positive for COVID upon arrival. But it can be a little nerve wracking, you know, stepping into somewhat of an audition where you only have ten days to you know, do all this work and show what you can do. But for Baisley, I think he's you know, the main skill that can translate is his effort, his rebounding and his shot blocking. Those are the things that have really stood out to me, you know, watching him play in Delaware, and those are things that he can do to immediately make a difference when he steps onto the court with the seventy six ers.
00:31:10
Speaker 4: So I'm very excited for him.
00:31:12
Speaker 3: He was actually an in India as well for the G League up next game, which is they're All Star game. The Blue Coats have some home games coming up, so get to Chase field House. They're twelve and six, first place in the Eastern Conference during the G League regular season as they go for a title defense.
00:31:27
Speaker 4: But Laren, what do you think?
00:31:27
Speaker 3: We get a couple of trivia questions in for Nick here at the Buzzer. Let's see what we've got. Who has the most All Star selections? Do you need the multiple choice for this one?
00:31:36
Speaker 4: Nick, I'm gonna go with Lebron James.
00:31:38
Speaker 3: Yep twenty times. Who has the most career All Star Game threes? Steph Curry, Damian Lillard, James Harden or Lebron James h Steph Curry correct two for two in the final one. Who had the most points in an All Star Game? Jason Tatum didn't even need the multiple choice again. Kat got fifty this year, Tatum fifty five last year. In Nickstauscus just went three for three on the Basketball Reference trivia. Well done, listen. I might have been round radio, round of applause. It was kind of an easy batch. We'll see what we get next Tuesday. Lauren Rose and thank you, nixt Auscas. Thank you, oh, thank you, thank you, thank.
00:32:17
Speaker 4: You, Matt. It's always a pleasure.
00:32:19
Speaker 3: Thanks to our producer, Silvana Kelleher and for Lauren Rosen in Nickstascas.
00:32:23
Speaker 4: I'm Matt Murphy. Thanks for listening.
