November 12th - In today's NBA regular season game, the 76ers defeated the Celtics 102-100.
In this game, 76ers player Maxi played 33 minutes, shooting 5-for-17 from the field and 3-for-6 from three-point range, scoring 21 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, dishing out 9 assists, and recording 1 steal.
Today, 76ers team reporter Keith Pompey updated his social media, discussing Maxi's performance at the start of the season:
Although the sample size of 11 games is small, Maxi's performance is enough to place him among the league's top players. Some may think it's too early to call him an elite player, but no one can deny that he's developing in that direction.
However, only a very few historical superstars have achieved what Maxi has this season. This 6-foot-2 (approximately 1.88 meters) and 200-pound (approximately 91 kilograms) player led the NBA scoring charts with an average of 37.5 points per game in the first four games of the season.
Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Jerry West, along with 2017 MVP and nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook, are the only other players in history to average more points in their first four games of a season.
Maxi then joined Allen Iverson, Luka Doncic, former 76ers player James Harden, and Hall of Famer Nate Archibald as one of the only players in history to achieve six consecutive 25+5 games.
When you look at this elite lineup, it's hard not to admit that Maxi has joined the ranks of the elite.
