Thnx for giving Mutombo his flowers .. give em a 2min highlight video bro bro 😢

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Man he was great

[@ryanrowe1975]

RIP Dikembe Mutombo

ordered me a hoodie a couple days ago when i noticed that they were on a discount. love from the UK sicko nation

[@Superhero18]

-Being a more aggressive playmaker. He was solid last season, actually borderline pretty good. There were roster limitations. But to get the most out of that position he needs to be a more confident passer. Even in tight windows. Just making sure to keep the pace up. -Finishing around the rim. He was an elite finisher a couple of years, and his finishing numbers are solid but not at the height it used to be at. -Mid range consistency. But we also saw him playing around in the post this summer and that’s exciting if he can punish guards every now and then. -Deflections and steals. In the NBA today you need to be more disruptive than just staying in front. If Maxey can disrupt passing lanes more, it’ll increase his defensive impact on the game

[@MrRee-kn4xd]

I can't wait for the Sixers season to start so I can forget we even have an NFL team.

[@mikeblaze7424]

Yesterday was embarrassing

[@irvbarkley]

Maxey working on D...finishing at rim through contact...and passing

[@gsc76]

Maxey offseason worked on - handles -mid range -defense -change of pace

[@millercmdn]

20:34 says the guy who won’t shoot a basketball😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lamarbrown9118]

Bro you funny asl “ just imagine 🤌🏾” took me out 😂😂😂😂

[@jamesquinn8958]

I know maxey talked about working on his mid range game so that's probably 1 bullet point, I think he also worked on his passing ability and facilitating plays. Definitely defense. And I'm not sure about the 4th one but maybe he continues to work on his 3 point shot since he drained 14 in a row at a shoot around recently

[@crvshtheglass]

Maxey went into the offseason and said “I’ve got to be a Point guard” he worked on his handles and playmaking abilities a lot put on the muscle to be a stronger finisher and defender

[@jameszhao6479]

congrats on 24k!!!

[@lucasmatta5853]

Maxey is a natural leader already! Pride of the Younk King 👑

[@amonone399]

A good comment by Adem Bona about trust by the coach and players. I agree, Coach Nick Nurse do have some Glenn Rivers ways when it comes to veteran players. The sixers should not care about politics, it should be about winning.

[@bennettslavin3975]

I think Ben Simmons forgot he could play 😂

[@indikutt]

Dj i lost 27lbs in the past 9 months to go from 177lb at 6'2" to 150 flat. Virtually nobody can tell that I've dropped weight. It's definitely possible

[@RunItBackPhilly]

9 months vs 3 months tho :)

[@millercmdn]

Bro, why did it take you almost a year to lose 27 pounds😂… all you have to do is fast!

[@jamcapone5454]

@@RunItBackPhillymy mom lost 90 in 8 1/2 months .. diet is key .. but this is Embiid

[@l0z28]

I'm watching the video now, but just using context clues, Embiid at 7ft plus being nearly 300lbs, or 280-85 to be conservative but yeah I believe Joel being so big could drop that weight quick if applying himself, with elite nutrition and training that he has access to, but this is great news nonetheless I been saying Joel should lighten his load, he's a player who prefers to be finesse anyway as opposed to a full time down low bruiser, this should help so many of his issues, late game late season fatigue, wear and tear on his knees/ lower extremities, just his injury issues and health overall, this is exciting to hear and here's 🥂 🥂 to hoping it's true and shows when the season starts!

[@RunItBackPhilly]

@@jamcapone5454y’all keep talking about 8-9 months vs 3

[@luffyuchiha4207]

Maxey list is Passing Defense Aggressiveness Shot selection

[@crvshtheglass]

Every time we see reports of Joel losing weight it comes from some reporter or twitter nerd speculating. The weight loss came straight from his mouth this time

[@user-lj9ms7fy1w]

R.I.P Mutombo!❤😢

[@Chrys0127]

Happy Monday bro

[@yukon_jak]

Joel was listed at 275 but according to sources was actually closer to 290-295. He probably lost 20 pounds which put him closer to his listed weight. If he could get to a legitimate 260, it would do wonders for his career.

[@ericr4677]

I Think Maxey improved on Mid range, 3 pt shooting and defense

[@millercmdn]

The Milwaukee Bucks are toast

[@swizzy215]

My hope is Maxey got better at: 1. Shot off of the dribble which is significantly lower then his shot off the catch. 2. His ability to break down defenders besides his lateral up and down speed. 3. That he locked down his layup package through contact. He irons those points out and he is unstoppable

[@donaldedwards3997]

List at 275. He was probably heavier than that. He was probably around 300lbs. Losing 25 or 30 got him to his listed weight. I still doubt he lost that much

[@PIBoost]

Ayo DJ why you got that early 2000s emo haircut man

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

[@davidgore2295]

Tyrese, so have on defense,mid range, and assist

[@marvinmcfarland-z7d]

I think bona is gonna be yabusele's replacement in two years

[@user-dj9gg1sq9q]

Algo gang

[@talkingmoney4499]

Bona honestly should be playing …..I know it’s hard to tel but man Bona I can feel is great back up center

[@gsc76]

He’s not even close to ready. No offense and averaged 6 fouls per 17 minutes against summer league players. Way too raw.

[@alexanderblais7474]

He’s too young to back up Joel. He needs more fundamental work and work on his game iq. Luckily we might have the best back up center in Andre Drummond though god bless he stays healthy

[@talkingmoney4499]

@@gsc76 summer league all the bigs foul ….his pick and roll is great ….hustles and plays defense and rebounds hard so yea

[@donaldedwards3997]

You can't load manage out injuries. He is either gonna get there healthy or not. The hope is he doesn't have to give the same effort every night at night to get a win because him and Maxey are the only two that can score. Hopefully the weight lost helps his knees

[@ItzzShazey]

He’s got a better chance then kawhi Leonard that gets load managed every season and doesn’t even show up for had fhe seasons games or for the playoffs

[@macmotorizedbike3834]

Yabasele is the starting power forward Nick Nurse said it without saying it 😮

[@phillyrich3249]

If he wants to win, that’s going to be your starting power forward. Play Caleb Martin as your three and I’m putting Paul George as my two guard he can guard Brunson on the perimeter and give Drew Holliday problem. Caleb is set against Boston and Yabba can defend Jayson Tatum, I hope they don’t overthink this

[@ericr4677]

I feel like the Perfect Balance of the Big 3 … Embiid ( being more cerebral like joker, but 2 way a pacing himself). PG being PG and Maxey ascending. IMO Embiid can average. 26ppg 11 rebs 2 blks 6asst , PG 23 ppg , and Maxey 28 ppg 9 asst …

[@milano3473]

Just can’t wait 😜

[@godnamedtay]

Tyrese bullet points -swole -yoked -jacked

[@mattbrinckerhoff685]

Exactly, imagine if Embiid didn’t care about awards 8 yrs ago

[@JentalJens]

Maxey's bullet points; Defense, Mid-range, and .... I'm not sure. I know the mid-range thing is real because he mentioned that his Dad wanted him to focus on that part of his game.

[@bricengnigha]

You can lose weight while gaining or maintaining muscular body. That happens when nutrition and fitness meet

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Sure you can. Not 30lbs in 3 months tho lol

[@lamarbrown9118]

First and foremost got to get that sickle Jersey! Why are these basketball, players pro basketball player so good friends! Because LeBron is a softie! That's why he want to play it with everybody instead of beating them!

[@illDefine1]

Embiid discovered Ozempic.

[@andresavage9109]

Let’s all hope not

[@jamesstudley1166]

Sixers aside, the Bucks busting at the seams isn’t good for the NBA. Don’t we wanna see the sixers be tested and dominate the best version of the league?

[@RunItBackPhilly]

No the bucks and Doc Rivers suck who cares?

[@76ersKD]

We all know Joel was 300 he prob 280 now lol

[@jimmyjay689]

Horford gonna be able to bully him even worse now...

[@kaysheye7784]

not really

[@HoopEnthusiasts]

If Embiid is saying he lost 25 pounds that mean she was close to 300+ which is believable because in the Olympics he looked obese🤣

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Lmao true

[@Bentley7Cruize]

Damn i was hoping he went 280 to 250 lol. Not 300 to 275... but improcedente is anata good idc

[@cameronshryock955]

Is that bad that part of me just wants a chip so the embiid haters will stfu

Nick Nurse overated...gets credit for taking a Raptors team far, but 1st rd Exit with the MVP...

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Still watching Sixers videos huh?

[@leroybrown505]

Been saying that since he started being our coach. I really only saw him coach the first 10 games of the season. Than after that, he didnt do a damn thing.

[@phillyrich3249]

They’re messing up already stop playing guys at positions. They don’t play. The dancing Bear is a four is a four is a four. He’s not a five in anyway stop it with that nonsense.

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Don’t google “dancing Bear”
