After the Lakers suffered a humiliating 44-point defeat against the 76ers on Monday night, where Tyrese Maxey put up 31 points, the whole basketball community just nodded knowingly. Nevertheless, the fans and analysts were not the only ones applauding Maxey’s skills—LeBron James, the face of the Lakers and a legend himself, tweeted on social media to let everyone know that he was impressed by the young 76ers player.

LeBron’s Instagram Praise

In the aftermath of the game, LeBron James took to Instagram to express his admiration for Tyrese Maxey. LeBron’s words are more than just about basketball as they illuminate what Maxey is all about. Despite the intense rivalry on the court that sometimes obscures the friendliness and admiration among the players, the recognition of character and working ethic that LeBron bestows upon Maxey contributes a special flavor to the story.

LeBron expressed his love for the athlete through an emotional Instagram Story. He wrote, “Love this kid man! The work never lies, and that’s why he is so damn good!!! And he is a better person, which is insane.”
