Stephen A. calls for the 76ers to make Tyrese Maxey the face of the franchise | First Take 

"Tobias Harris came back with a bag full of napkins and straws" 😂

This is legitimately the smartest thing I've ever heard Perk say

Nah that perk line was insane 😂😂 “he came back with sum napkins and straws”

ALL KENDRICK’S ARE SPITTING 🤣🤣

No way espn and first take is saying anything bad about embiid. When Tobias Harris scored 0 points.

Put Perk in the Hall of Fame for that Chick-fil-A analogy. 🤣🤣🤣

"Bag full of napkins and straws" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They gave up Jimmy Butler for Tobias smh

I don't believe many people thought Sixers were getting past NY. But they went out SWINGING. This was a great series to watch.

Perk is spittin

are people really surprised about to harris’ performance? he does this every postseason lmao

Showed up when hurt and played that’s all you can ask for good game

Build around both…. They need defenders and shooters pace and space

Perk Neva disappoints 😂

8:18 The way Stephen A said "39 million daaahlas" 😂

Tobias Harris is gone, that alone already makes this off season for us Philly fans feel better lol

Y’all buggin enbid has forever given his all for this franchise

So we gonna act like Embid didnt just win MVP last year, was on the way this year to win it back to back. Wild

As a fan, this year I'm not blaming Embiid. His effort is not in question. He was amazing in that game and exceeded expectations when you consider his health. Maxey was not having a good game and he was too focused on getting calls, Nick Nurse had idiotic lineups out there in big time moments, Tobias Harris is not a threat and did absolutely nothing in 29min of play. The team in general is too focused on out-talenting other teams instead of having an actual offense with schemes and counters. The defense only ever peaks in desperation situations instead of staying tough and consistent throughout. Should've never got rid of Matisse, we need to remove Tobias Harris from the team, sign more athletic players that can rebound and defend, and stop making so many excuses. Stop relying on the refs to win you the game

Maxey gets plenty of chances, they both can and have scored big. Both get shots in the clutch. They're building well with their two stars. Its like Jokic and Murray. Jokic is the core of what they do, but Jamal takes over games, takes the clutch shots, and shoots it the most. The two both being stars simultaneously is imperative. No backseat business.

He wants Embiid in NY, that's why he's saying this.

Wrong, Smith. 76ers are going to keep Embiid, Maxey, and sign a third scorer jettisoning Harris.

Perkins talkin bout Tobias got me dead lmfaoooo

Joel Embiid needs to work on his conditioning that’s his biggest deficiency

This one of the best Perk takes I’ve ever heard

Perk is the king of analogies 💯😂🔥

Annual reminder that Emflop has never passed the 2nd round.

Yea BIG PERK!! I didn’t hear a BREAKDOWN like that in a WHILE!!👍💪🏽💯

Perk talking that talk they need to give him his own show rt

Tobias Harris' usage rate went from 20 in the season to 11 in the post season, he literally had 50% fewer touches than he averaged in the regular season. Primary reasons? Fewer passes from his teamates, sure, real reason - OG Anunoby. Tobias Harris scored only 3 points all series while guarded by OG.

Best playoffs series for long time

I think that was the best line I’ve heard Big Perk say yo date “Came Back with a bag full of napkins and straws” 😭

This whole segment was full of foolishness

Perk with the analogies

Amazing Perk Take

It is asinine to suggest Maxey be the face of the franchise. He can't consistently create offense for himself or others in the half court. He needs to learn how to change speeds instead of always going 100 mph. His whole offense is shoot a 3 off a screen or go 100 mph at the basket, without seeing how the play is developing, often leading to a highly contested shot, or block. After blowing past his defender he should scan the court for soft spots to drift into and shoot middys or floaters. Embiid tends to disappear at times. Part of it is the sixers don't run enough sets to get him the ball in his best spots, the mid and low block. This leads to him drifting away from the basket, where he can be guarded by smaller guys. An example of this is game 6 when Embiid had Josh Hart fronting him. Instead of running a set to feed him like Purdue does to Edey, they try to lob him the ball and Hart tips it. The other part is Embiid not having the mentality to punish people on the block. When he does, he is dominant.

bro for her to to say is it time to move on from Joel is crazy talk tf

Their faces when SA talks about Tobias😂😂

Sixers can sign maxey to a $200 mil max contract, give embiid a $200 mil extension, AND STILL have $60 mil in cap space left !

Embiid literally had 1 leg that whole series lmaoo

Textbook definition of "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"😂

Napkins and straws is CRAZY

Oh my I agree with perk !!

Please talk about tobias harris

Kendrick Perkins with makeup on is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ESPN wrong for that😂

Mad respect for that young man!!!!

Perk been on a roll lately 😎💯

Lol he hates foreign players so much so it’s not a surprise he said that, everybody knows embiid is the whole franchise

Embiid did what he was supposed to do (injured). Maxey did his job. The rest of the team was supposed to be the difference makers. It’s that simple.

Before i saw this video, i was thinking it should be priority for each starting five from every team should hit double figures each game

That's right, Perk!

The Sixers are in one of the best positions of any franchise because they have a current MVP and a future super star as well as max cap space to pursue a star or get depth.

Why tf the first thing they ask is move on from embiid 😂 suns got swept nobody said move on from booker or kd

Yea I agree. Wait Perk was spittin hold on

Perk needs to be a PERMANENT fixture on espn basketball

Joel "I gotta be better" Embiid......

I agree with Perks point of view on what’s good for Philly.

Believe it or not this a great take

Perk 😂😂😂 Napkins & straws

Perk was spitting. This season has been the final nail in the "Big Three Era" coffin. It just doesn't work anymore

Stephen A looks like max kellerman with that serious look bruh.

It hope for first take!! Agree with everyone on this panel!!😢

Kendrick was the only 1 on the panel that made any sense

Got an ad for jimmy butler as I clicked on this lol

Facts

Embiid is like Kawhi, truly one of the most talented 2 way players in the league.. but never healthy. Well atleast Kawhi has 2 rings. Embiid aside from being constantly injured, just doesn't have the stamina to play in the post season. Dude plays in the early rounds like he's already gone through 4 straight game 7s

Big Perk Preaching!!!

Stephen A clearly didn’t see the plus/minus with Embiid off the court

They jus need a better backup big than Paul Reed

As a Knicks fan I can see Embid going to Orlando linking back up w/Markelle Fultz...😂

They praising Maxey like he went Crazy last night

Perk gonna end up on sidetalk next, he’s become the Governor of NY

Agree, we build around Maxey. We would have to get another superstar center imo. 1 : we get another center cuz of embiid durability. 2 : we get 2 great centers to rebound/score at will. An athletic 3 and D wing. A catch and shoot guard. Then our bench definitely needs some energy and competitiveness. They need to bring the momentum up in our favor. We need more than 20+ 8:30 pts from them please….

Moorey said genius quote everyone asking how to win with out embid moorey said are focus is win with him amen

Agreed

Perk Port Arthur Texas watching from PAT

Tobias Harris need to be traded

Tobias Harris didn't get a postgame interview? 😂😂

Perk is 100% on point... get high level role players we don't need one more star to detract from Embiid n Maxey... Bridges would be ideal he is also my preference if possible

8:25 lol at Chiney trying to be professional and hold in her laugh

Tobias was on his Jontay Porter 💩😂

I can see in maxey face he's onna missions this off-season after what embiid said he took the blame

I feel for Joel disappointed and his 76ers eliminated by Knicks is a shock but I'm sure he will get back strong next season keep your head up bruh

Definitely gotta build around maxey but Tobias Harris being gone helps the team a lot

Maxey and Embiid are like Edwards and KAT. Embiid is very important, but injuries are there, so keep him(!) but let Maxey grow to be a leader, same what happened with Edwards and KAT this year. KAT accepted to be the number 2 player in the team when he is healthy and Edwards confidence grew to the point when he is the leader now!

Stephen A makes absolutely no sense because you can not say build around Maxey with Embiid still on that roster

Finally somebody said something about Tobias 💯 he did this last season in the playoffs 😩

Tyrese is already ranked higher in jersey sales (#9) than Joel Embiid (#12), and that was BEFORE this playoff run.......

Sixers can trade Harris to top 1-3 nba rebounder, even if 0 score and 15 offensive rebounds that would make 6ers a big W factor. 😎🏀

What is actually the essence of this show

Joel Embiid is like Kawhi Leonard you can’t count on him to be healthy or raise up his level of play in the playoffs I feel bad for Tyrese Maxey he brought it this series

That process has came to an end ain’t no more trusting in it

Didn't Embiid already say that Maxey is the Franchise?

It was bad strategy from Philly..they should wait 4th quarter for Embiid to play iso but they did that in third

He was the only player to show heart and not complain after a loss.

I don’t like Perk lol but when he said Tobias came back with napkins and straws that was funny lol

Another Tyrese who's Talent is special 💯 👀 🏀 ❤ this kid is special w skills

As a Sixers fan Perk is spot on 🎯🎯🎯

Imagine if the 76ers kept jimmy Butler instead of Tobias Harris...

E the big piece Maxey time 🌪️ Embiid wise enough to maintain his pace!
