Sixers star LeBron James discusses his chemistry with Tyrese Maxey

In a preseason finale loss to the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James highlighted his evolving chemistry with rookie Tyrese Maxey. During the game, Maxey demonstrated his ability to work with James off the pick-and-roll, driving off the screen, and finding James for a difficult And-1. Later, they ran two-man action, with James converting off an open jumper.

James also showcased Maxey's lob capability, with the rookie finding him in stride and James finishing with a dunk, delighting the Xfinity Mobile Arena crowd. James emphasized that their collaboration creates various offensive dynamics for the team, including side pick-and-rolls and mid pick-and-rolls. The 41-year-old also mentioned Maxey's basketball IQ, noting that he already knows what the young player can bring to the table. The Sixers will now focus on their season opener against the New York Knicks on Tuesday.
