Philadelphia 76ers rookie Tyrese Maxey is proving why 20 other NBA teams will regret passing on him in the draft.

On Saturday, the Philadelphia 76ers played the Denver Nuggets at the Wells Fargo Center. Due to the circumstances, the Sixers’ Boathouse Row jerseys were set to be more entertaining than the game itself. During the opening presentation, Sixers rookie Tyrese Maxey ceremoniously rang the bell. What happened after that is something Philly fans will never forget. Something they hope will reverberate throughout the rest of his career.
