[Carlin] Nic Batum opens up on Tyrese Maxey, Sixers’ title chances, his legacy

I love how every old guy on the team talks abt how much they love Maxey
Maxey so blessed even his high fives look Sistine Chapel esque
He really is a perfect fit with Embiid and Maxey, I hope we can convince him to not retire and play with us for at least one more season
> That’s why I like Nick Nurse. This dude is never satisfied. ‘Alright, see you tomorrow at 11.’ We won by 41. ‘Cool. See you at 11. We still gotta work on some stuff, too.’
Love this quote.
Batum has been such a boost to this team. I can’t remember the last time a guy came into a team and overperformed expectations so much.
What a good, centered, thoughtful person. Absolute perfect teammate.
> I’m not a difficult player. I don’t play for me. I don’t ask for anything. I mean, if I take one shot per game, I don’t care. I know what my job is to help this team. I just try to get in and make sure I don’t step on people’s toes, but I can do my stuff to make their life easier. That’s been my role for the last three, four years, and I think people kind of love it. So I’m gonna stick with it.
What a quote!
I also absolutely love his comments about his kids seeing him having fun and being successful. He seems like such a fantastic role model.
