Recently, celebrity speaker Bill Simmons talked about Maxi on his podcast.

Bill Simmons said: "If you have a list of the most improved players this year, Maxi will be ranked first. No one can come close to him. It seems like he has changed. This season he has entered the same level as Mitchell and Brunson, which I did not expect."

The 76ers started the season with 4 wins and 0 losses. Maxi averaged 37.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game!
