PHILADELPHIA – Some NBA players go their whole career without enjoying the benefits of playing alongside a teammate who is a no-brainer to make the hall of fame.
Max Christie doesn’t take his situation for granted. He’s been lucky enough to play with three of them.
After the first two-plus years with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in Los Angeles with the Lakers, Christie now gets to work with Kyrie Irving, as well as Davis when he makes his Mavericks’ debut soon.
In his first game as a Maverick, Christie had 15 points and nine rebounds Tuesday in the 118-116 loss to Philadelphia at Wells Fargo Center.
