After the Philadelphia 76ers' most recent game, VJ Edgecombe said that he and Tyrese Maxey can be "one of the greatest (backcourts) ever." The Sixers' dynamic duo will look to author another strong performance Tuesday when Philadelphia hosts the Brooklyn Nets.

As Edgecombe’s monster rebound and dunk took the air out of Madison Square Garden, and as the Philadelphia 76ers were about to notch their best win of the season, all that was missing was the Sixers rookie yelling the infamous Chapelle skit line: “Game, blouses.”

In a battle between the first and third overall picks, Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe, Tyrese Maxey stole the show.

Before he was the coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Jason Kidd was one of those guys who had a million battles with Iverson in his playing career. Kidd spent time a lot of time with the New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn) and played in the same division as The Answer.

Nurse didn't have much recourse, other than to put his three guards on the floor together. And on this night, they responded as a group.

Tyrese Maxey led the Philadelphia 76ers to an impressive 116–107 road victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night, despite the absence of Joel Embiid.

The 76ers have moved into the top 10 of the NBA power rankings, as others like the Lakers, Rockets, and Raptors stumble before 2026 begins.
