Tyrese Maxey turns "can't" into "can" — in other words, he gives Maxey-mum effort.
Why it matters: The Sixers guard is starting in this weekend's NBA All-Star Game — and all of Philly wants to see him clutch the MVP trophy.
The big picture: Maxey, a rising star with a sick jump shot and a self-deprecating sense of humor, is making a case to become Philly's most beloved athlete ever, Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes writes.
Maxey's on-court resume: About 29 points per game, seven assists and 47% shooting from the field.
Off-court resume: Dog dad who goes the extra mile to open cans of pumpkin pie filler for his pets.
The bottom line: He's a selfless guy.
Yes, but: On Sunday, we want to see him score at will. Bring home that MVP trophy, Maxey. We know you can do it.
