Howie Roseman found another cheat code.
The Jalen Carter extension isn’t about the number. It’s about a structure 31 teams can’t copy.
Jason McIntyre and Andrew Brandt explain 👇
LeBron James on Tyrese Maxey:
“I’ve worked out and trained with him over the last few summers. Every morning 5:00 a.m. were in the gym, 5:30, whatever in the gym and you just see like his dedication. Shows up on time, on target every single day. A guy who just loves the game and has taken full advantage of the opportunity in Philly, you know, and you know, I love the kid.”

“Definitely championship or bust, man. I mean, that's the added piece we needed. Obviously you put him on any team, to me, you definitely have a chance. But obviously, a whole lot of things gotta go right during the season. Definitely health. But as far as the leadership, the talent, the wars that he's been in, him being familiar with every type of situation that happens on the basketball court. He just boosts the percentage of any team having a chance to win a championship and any team having big-time success. He's one of them ones, man. He’s the king for a reason.”
Sixers legend Allen Iverson on LeBron James choosing Philly. AI said this on the Stephen A Smith show 
LeBron James, the Chosen 1, wore the following numbers in his NBA career:
23 for the Cavs
6 for the Heat
23 again for the Cavs
23 for the Lakers
Add all the numbers above and you get 76.
Foreshadowing his final franchise, the 76ers.
This is just the second time that the 76ers and Flyers were both knocked out of the playoffs by the eventual champions in the same postseason.
The other was 1980, by the Lakers and Islanders.
