[@karlhelmerich5709]

this kid is unbelievable

[@rob111094]

McCain has been so impressive. At 20 years old to already be contributing like this really speaks to how advanced he is. And he'll only get better

[@theregosal8056]

Bruh nobody else shouldn’t even have the ball in the last 3-4 minutes. He was hot with 32🤦🏾‍♂️

[@kgbofficer5629]

Fr Jackson and all them dinosaurs were salty that the kid was putting up more points than them. Old bums

[@ManofGodYian]

Peeped that jackson’s body language when he passed the ball and has the audacity to then point at him after he makes it🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet]

the Way mccain can master Mid range dribble deep in the lane then fade away or break off his defender to hit the midday is a lost art...not even maxey can do that...u have to be elite to do that...he does it effortlessly...its better than the Stepback

[@prophecy9521]

Yes, very Devin booker like

[@phild8761]

This was against one of the best defenses in the league, without PG, Maxey or Embiid, he was the main focus of the offense and they couldn't stop him, he looks great.

[@rcash001]

As a Duke fan I tried to tell Philly fans y’all were getting a hooper. But y’all only cared about his TikTok and nails

[@ishi7190]

Nah real ones knew he was a steal. I just didn't think he would be this good already

[@Fergus316]

We cared about him being undersized. But I am glad he is performing well.

[@skillz78]

Exactly. Can’t find the cry baby sixers fans who harped over tik tok videos and his nails. Focused on the wrong stuff. Wild part is McCain has more footage of him actually hooping than he does dancing on tik tok. But the focus was on tik tok 😐 McCain doesn’t play like this because he spends his off time doing his nails. Buddy is Tyrese Maxey with the work ethic. Reaching out to nba vets on how to last in the league. But yea tik tok videos. I swear our fan base has some idiots lol

[@gregabernathy-pq7ch]

Did not know he was laying like that

[@jamesmay9955]

Love this. Has Kobe-like work ethic. And a great shot. Has more heart than half the league. Was told he wasn’t tall enough, too slow, not athletic enough, and look at him now!!! So stoked for him. Been watching him since he was at Centenniel!!! Born Winner!!!

[@digknight4455]

Imagin mccain, maxey, PG, Embiid on the floor together closing out games. Scary. I want to see mccain play point snd maxey at the 2 for some minutes.

[@hoopbeast7187]

The Knicks players definitely took notice. Brunson thought he just had to deal with Maxey this year

[@HenrySuggs-by5nd]

They need a bench player tho nobody tryna see Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon in the second unit they need to trade for a playmaker

[@jimd6913]

Philly sports fans are blessed right now with great rookies....McCain for the Sixers....Michkov for the Flyers....Q and Coop for the Birds....and hopefully Andrew Painter for the Phils.

[@musikausdemosten]

dont know any of them them beside McCain 😆😆

[@TheFilmSpace1]

Justin Crawford x Aidan Miller for Phillies

[@Ant-be9vr]

Once Embiid, Maxey, PG get back, we gonna be ballin

[@Butcho22]

Assuming that Embiid and PG will ever be back for an extended period of time 👀

[@OVOChatgpt]

Really impressive. Had to see it with my own eyes.... And did it on the Cavs.... Respek

[@walterwine]

Nice, just like Maxey from way back, shining when an opportunity comes up

[@AR-io8fv]

This kid is fearless. I’m impressed by his misses even cause of the audacity. If all those shots start falling in Year 3 when he adds a floater and gets stronger….could be scary hours

[@Cybertron429]

I admit, I was disappointed when they Draft McCain over Dalton knecht. I was wrong. This kid can ball. Can't wait to see what he looks like with our full roster on the floor, if that ever happens.

[@kyledukes49]

Me too

[@skillz78]

I don’t know why you were disappointed. Dalton is 23, his ceiling isn’t nearly as high as McCains.

[@BestSportsHighlights]

With full roster he will came of the benches and play 15 minutes for 5-8ppg. He need to be in the starting lineup. He can be a new Maxey!

[@skillz78]

@@BestSportsHighlights full roster you think he only gets 15mins? How so? Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson won’t avg more minutes than him with a full roster. McCain is also the only guard on the bench who can create his own offense while being able to play off ball when he’s on the floor with other shot creators (Maxey/george). Maxey being out is allowing McCain to showcase that. Sixers bench has always been a sore spot. Not saying it’s great but we finally have someone who can create their own offense instead of watching dudes dribble handoff until shot clock winds down to force a bad shot. He is closer to 6th man mins with a full roster than 15.

[@narbolo724]

Why he look like Brunson burning the Sixers in the playoffs! They got a baller!!!

[@musikausdemosten]

Brunson is not that smart as McCain is. Brunson struggling with right decision making and McCain looks like he know what he does in every position but we need more games from him to be fair

[@xcronixx3811]

He's like the main character of a movie.

[@marcelsearchwell7167]

[@rayjee1756]

Reggie kicked that out to McCain like he didn't want it to be him shooting that. Seems like a play blew up in their face on the left side and McCain bailed it out.

[@ChiArt-vh2uo]

Rookie of the year. 6th man of the year as well once the squad becomes healthy.

Hands down in the MVP conversation and then drops a TikTok the next morning

[@NicoKnowsBall]

Kids the truth. Sixers got a not-so hidden “hidden gem” with him. Hope him or Maxey could become better on the defensive side in the future bc they’re going to start together 100%. Kinda small tho like the Cavs backcourt

[@surfsupbruh]

bros game is so diverse and well balanced

[@allenc401]

Are people still concerned with the color of his nails?? Lmao my guy is hooping fr.

Maxey and Jared = starting backcourt

[@rizqiyian9140]

[@hoopbeast7187]

I didn't like how Reggie waved Jared off on the first attempt for 3 at the end. I would package Reggie and another player for a solid piece.

[@andrestorres3279]

Him 🔥

[@communityband1]

Mc 'n Max, 76ers' future?

[@rickmason6157]

Early success is gonna benefit him because now teams have him on their scouting report.And he knows they look to run him off the 3 and it opens the lane.In other words he is threat

[@ttpLeem]

Reggie Jackson missing McCain in the corner p*ssed me off

[@ReyFider]

Ngl, I know it's early but he might just have a higher ceiling than Maxey.

[@abhimanyu_patil]

I was relatively high on Mccain before the draft. Now the pendulum has swung the other way. I think people are a little lost in the sauce of the last few games. His shot form is really accurate but a little slow, particularly for his height and I think he needs to pull some more shiftiness out of his game. I think one of his big strengths is the way he plays under control. Still really enjoyed watching the last few games. We'll see what happens!

[@martingustafsson7292]

SLOW trigger wtf!?

[@zaymonsta_4295]

he could easily win 6moty if this team was ever healthy

[@MrFlyVisuals]

Bro might be zesty but he can definitely ball out

[@ilphi08]

Maxey is more athletic, McCain has better court vision.

[@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet]

let me ask u this..if u switch Mccain tonight for Maxey do we win this game or get blown out...Mccain is only 20 and i believe his ceiling will be way higher than Maxeys...For his playmaking, mid range, and able catch a shoot and create his own shot not just relying on speed and stepback which is Maxey

[@Cannoli-vj6vn]

I think McCain is a better PG. maxey is a great SG.

[@sgshumblecrumb6046]

McCain has a more polished offensive bag than Maxey despite being four years younger. It's very impressive. Maxey has greater potential in terms of ceiling because you can't teach his speed and athleticism, but McCain is showing so far that he doesn't need as much time to develop as Maxey did because he's already so advanced in terms of skill. Maxey needed time to perfect his shot and still has room for growth in terms of creating for himself. McCain is already creating for himself and others like a young Jalen Brunson type of guard. Both McCain and Maxey are very good on the catch and shoot.

[@BroncosSmackingHaters]

Wtf???? Dude you people say some of the dumbest shit ever!!! Maxey is a fkn superstar right now moron!!! McCain developing into a 6th man would be amazing for philly because we start having the looks of a complete team having a guy like McCain who can carry the second unit for sure! Maxey is a starting super star put some respect on that man name you make yourself sound like an idiot

[@BroncosSmackingHaters]

@@sgshumblecrumb6046wtf?????? Maxey in became better and better everyboff season he came back with more in his bag to the point he’s a fkn superstar with a max already in year 4😂😂😂 you think McCain a be a superstar in year 3-4????

He honestly needs to be on a team that can build around him. He has 3 guys ahead of him, and won’t reach his full potential. He’s also not the greatest fit. Best bet for both parties would be to trade him, KJ, picks etc for another huge upside player that’s a better fit.

They're getting older though. I say he sticks it out and waits to become starting sg.

You must be insane. Him and maxey are the future of this franchise. Not to mention we have him on a rookie contract. With so much money already allocated to Embiid PG and maxey it would also be a waste to trade him for assets just in terms of basic math.
