Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey on Instagram Live asking for help on how to use a can opener

will be shocked if anyone else remembers this, but becky lynch did this exact same thing like 6 years ago with a can of peaches and it was hilarious
Is this better or worse than Lamelo not being able to read?
We’re doomed.

Why tf would anyone go to IG live and admit they’re a moron before googling it?
At least he is good at basketball
NBA has the best off season content
Pretty harmless i guess but this stuff is just kinda weird attention seeking stuff. Brother i promise you theres a google image breakdown of this very simple task
People are clowning but prob 15-20 years ago a babysitter watching me didn’t know how to open a can cause all they had was an electric can opener at their house. And this is before tik tok rotted everyone’s brains
Average NBA player intelligence
If I was rich I’d give it to someone in my house to open it and if they don’t know how to use it then I laugh at them until they figure it out and learn from their mistake.
Bro – I feel you. I can’t use this type of can opener for my life. I always have my fiancé do it.
The fire alarm chirp at the end 💀
Most socially adjusted NBA starter
Some can-openers are just ass
A google search away my guy 😂
im not gonna hate cause i remember having a problem using a can opener as a kid. oh wait…
I grew up pretty poor but one of the few luxuries my family had was an automatic can opener and I didn’t learn how to use one of these until I was like 25. I’m honestly still not that confident that I could do it under pressure.
Love Tyrese. Sixers got so lucky drafting him.
*BEEEEP
genuinely asking why so many people are calling him dumb if he’s literally never had to use a manual can opener???
Asking is easier than this guy being a jerk to his kid:
Bro there’s YouTube tutorials for pretty much everything kitchen related
So funny story. I used one of these openers for the first time when I was like 26. I 100% knew how to use it. But no matter how hard I tried, no dice. I was like wtf, what’s the deal here
I go and YouTube it, and I’m watching the guy do the same thing I am and it works
I realized the problem; as a lefty, I was holding the opener “backwards.” I switched it to my right hand and wham.
It’s really not a lefty world
“tell me what I need to do” has me dying
Chef : well everyone’s ate for the day I’ll be heading out
Maxey : actually can you open This can for my dog ?
Chef : *blank stare*
Men too stubborn to ask for help on many occasions. Good for him lol
“Get 1% better every day”
Cmon Tyrese!
We know Gen Z don’t understand basic common skills.
Nothing wrong with trying to learn.
I hate this world. Not because he didn’t know how to use it. But because he had to live stream the question.
Google exists. He would have gotten a much quicker response.
The smoke detector! 😭
If only he had a Bean Dad…
I worked at UK doing Sports Video when Maxey played. We [did a video](https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=384598312486683&vanity=KentuckyMBB) (Facebook link, sorry, just for proof) where Activision sponsored the basketball team playing the Esports team in Call of Duty.
After the shoot when they were all talking, one of the esports guys mentioned how he still lived at home. Maxey mentioned that he was jealous and that he hadn’t had his moms cooking in four years, at that time. Really put into perspective how much time these guys are in the gym and what all they give up.
But the not knowing how to use a can opener is wild lol
IMO not knowing how to use a can opener is not as bad as not knowing how people will see you when you IG live about it
Not knowing how to use a can opener is one thing, going on IG live to ask how to use it is another
