The Philadelphia 76ers are back. With new faces around, a few players got together to get some work in.
The new-look Philadelphia 76ers were finally spotted working out together.
There are videos going around all over social media that show a few of the starters getting some runs in. Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and LeBron James decided to get together and run a few drills. It put all of X in a frenzy, especially Philadelphia fans.
There were people on social media in awe and commented about how the NBA is in for a surprise when the season starts. Many of them aren’t wrong; witnessing James still get up and run with the young fellas shows what could be in store for everyone. Maxey and Brown were working on short shot clock drills while LeBron at times played the role of the trailer. This was a continuous drill that set up each player in different areas of the court to test the decision-making on the floor.
Building some chemistry before the season starts is a promising sight to see. This could smooth out some of the rough patches that many see when there are new players on the team. One thing that was very interesting to see was the amount of communication and coaching going on. While there were actual shooting coaches there, you could hear James being very vocal in the video. What was even more impressive was the fact that James was still bouncing around like he did in his 20s.
This is the kind of thing that needs to happen when they finally take the court. Philadelphia has been yearning for something to cheer about in the sport of basketball, and this video has given them just that. What was refreshing to see was Brown’s workout videos detailing his dedication to his ball-handling, while Maxey worked on his one-on-one game.
This team is pulling out all the stops to ensure their offense is unstoppable. With so much pressure on the season, there can’t be any weak links. The only two players missing were Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe. While they weren't in the video, it doesn’t mean they aren’t getting in shape for the season. Embiid has been said to be in the best shape of his life and looks to be a full go for the season. Edgecombe has been seen working out with Maxey, looking to get their chemistry together as well.
All the starters are working with one another to understand how the other moves, and it's beautiful to see. The game of basketball is a beautiful thing, and when players of this caliber get together, it’s like poetry in motion.
