Paul George is set to begin the next chapter of his NBA career after signing a max contract with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason. Joel Embiid sees George’s addition as a significant boost for their championship aspirations, while other 76ers stars, including Tyrese Maxey, are particularly thrilled.
George welcomed Maxey onto the latest episode of the Podcast P Show, where Maxey expressed his excitement about having George as a teammate.
“Funny thing is, I can’t wait for him to see like, just walking around Philly or being around Philly. Fans giving advice and yelling and screaming, like they’re big-time fans. They really believe they know basketball, they know hoop, so it’s amazing, man,” Maxey said.
Maxey also assured George that he would receive immense support from the team’s management and fanbase.
“I’m telling you, they goin’ show love. That’s one thing they goin’ really do. They’re going to rally behind us, I think, and it’s gonna be great. You gotta be more aggressive,” Maxey added.

“Those used to inspire me, and people would be like, ‘Damn, why’d you like them!’ But it was just like they played both ends,” he added.
George’s reflections on his childhood inspirations provide valuable insight into the influences that shaped his playing style. With PG on board, the 76ers are poised to be one of the toughest competitors in the upcoming season.
