Tyrese Maxey just completed in the national dog show
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47114476/tyrese-maxey-philadelphia-76ers-national-dog-show-agility-course
Had the dog show on the TV and Maxey shows up with his dog and did pretty well. Very random and wholesome NBA moment!
Maxey participated in the agility course in a Nov. 16 show taping in front of roughly 15,000 spectators at the Kennel Club of Philadelphia.
15,000 in the audience, god damn. I knew dog shows were popular but people really love watching them little fools fly around.
And afaik you can’t bet on it so people genuinely go for the love of the game unlike a lot of other sports with animals
afaik you can’t bet on it
cmon bro.
I figured they meant like “officially” through an app on your phone or some shit that streamlines it.
Obviously people will bet on literally anything outside of those methods.
But all of that is totally out of my purview, so I dunno.
But officially you can?
Well that’s sad, the doggos didn’t save us from ourselves. :(
There was an episode of brooklyn 99 about betting on dog shows
They’re ALL majestic, this is a nationally televised dog show!
The wire fox terrier!
Look at dogs, man, making us better people.
Boy, do i have bad news for you. People do bet on it. But the people who go to see in person are definitely dog lovers.
I mean you can bet on everything if u really want to but it’s not as widespread like it is with other sports like dog races which are literally all betting and you can literally do it there, you can’t at these
I get that you can bet on it, you can bet on everything now but at these shows it seems like 99% of the people are there for the love of the game
Booooo
Seems unfair to have Maxey attempt the course against dogs.
Yeah!
I know I’m a homer but is there a more likable dude in the league right now
Hell I hate the Sixers and I still love Maxey. Absolute baller + super likeable guy.
The young sixers squad is so pure I fucking hate it
What have the sixers done to the raptors? they both haven’t been major competitors since Vince and AI lol
You don’t remember that Kawhi shot against the 6ers to eliminate them in the playoffs. That’d be enough for me to hate em lol
Oh damn how could I forget that
Whenver Embiid plays the Raps the flopping and reckless plays from him are egregious and have even caused a number of injuries over the years
I seem to remember Siakam purposefully elbowing Embiid in the face as hard as possible and breaking his face
Oh come on, Embiid himself even said how it was accidental. Pretty sure the two Cameroonians respect each other.
This narrative from raptors fans is funny af to me because the only relevant injury between our 2 franchises in recent years is Siakam’s bush league intentional move that injured embiid and completely ruined a playoff run for us
You guys should just shutup about injuries in general lmao. Imagine how raptors fans would carry on if that situation was reversed
Game 1 in the 2022 series, Embiid elbowed Birch in the face and stepped on Scotite’s ankle in the same game. Scottie would’ve been the youngest player to record a TD in a playoff game since Magic, and we would’ve won the series had he not gone down.
Embiid did injure Scottie in I think game 3 of that same series (pretty sure it was the same year) which pretty much set up the Raps loss.
One of the most genuinely good vibes dude in the entire league and he’s been that since his rookie year.
He just gives off good energy, I like that guy a lot. And he’s a fuckin’ beast on the court.
Mikal Bridges is in contention
Mikal Bridges had every star align for him to play for the 76ers but God liked him so much he wouldn’t let that happen to such a nice guy
McCain and Maxey seem like two of the most likable dudes in the league and I kinda hate it since they’re on the Sixers lmao
Edgecombe is up there too
Jarrett Allen up there
That smile’s so pure and wholesome
I hate how right you are tbh. As a Cats fan it makes me happy to see.
I love tyrese maxey
The Sixers have 3 of the most likeable guys in the league with Maxey, McCain, and Edgecombe without a doubt
It is not possible to dislike Tyrese Maxey and if you do you are a demonic level hater.
I’m a Raps fan but I absolutely love Maxey.
Great on the court, seems like a fun person, and doesn’t have any bullshit or bad vibes around him.
Genuinely nope
I read the title as if he competed himself and was like “yeah that checks out”
He’s pretty great
Maxey is a class act. Embiid….
Class clown
I am referring to Embiid for those that want to down vote.
Truly even from a raptors fan
Pascal
I was so confused when they mentioned his name before his appearance.
As in, you were already watching the dog show when they called his name?
Bruh if you’re not watching the dog show, what are you even doing rn?
Yes
Poor guy thinks he’s too cool to watch dogs run around. He doesn’t know what he’s missing out on.
He’d have to be yeah
My parents were watching this and I happened to walk through during his part. I ask is that Tyrese Maxey, and was hit with stop being racist cuz they thought I was saying all black people look the same or something. Vindication 😂
Aww. They have the spirit just a little confused.
Got that dog in him
i sure hope not
Well played
He got that dog with him.
lol that’s more accurate
Gotta complete
Keep going Until completion
complete player
He just completed in the dog show? Nasty
dawgs roll together
just experienced pure delight unexpectedly seeing tyrese maxey on my tv
Huh! Well that’s really nice! I’ll have to watch later
Look at Tyrese so inspirational
Really cool but it’s probably more synergy between the NBA and NBC.
They say in the article that the show reached out to the Sixers to see if a player would possibly be interested in participating but that Maxey had some actual dog training experience & is a passionate dog owner so it ended up being a really good fit.
That’s pretty cool. The show is in Philly?
Yep!
Completitors gon’ complete!
What can’t he do?
Compete or complete?
He completed? Gross.
I was 100% convinced this was going to be a picture of rookie floppy-haired super smiley Maxey next to a picture of a similar floppy-looking dog. Nope, this motherfucker is legit out there at a dog show. Might just be the most likable personality in the league right now.
Dawg show.
He got that dawg with him
Embiid and P will get injured doing that
This was awesome
I was scrolling really fast and saw -
“Tyrese Maxey just completed his first drag show” 🤣
I really need to slow down sometimes
like he was brought to completion?
It was surreal watching this with my family lol, I was recognized him but my family was like “who is this skinny giant kid?”
I don’t want to be that guy but I unfortunately was forced to watch the dog show and it definitely was not his dog. He was asking to get reminded on the dog’s name lol. Not sure why he was involved but it was definitely some random persons dog, he didn’t know the name or commands or anything.
He wants to lose at more than just NBA events?
This is not the NBA I used to love.
not his dog
Yeah he had to ask the dogs names before they went through the course. It was kinda cool still lol
And to think in some countries, these dogs are eaten!
Why you gotta come in here and be racist for no reason???
It’s a quote from “Best in Show”, must-watch movie about dog shows
Not really a racist thing to say. But it was just a completely irrelevant comment that didn’t need to be made.
Damn, ya’ll lack culture, its a quote from Best in Show, one of the best comedies of all time
Hm. Yeah I’ve never heard of that. Maybe I do just lack culture haha.
Tyrese is rank 11 and makes it so easy to like him. I literally had a conversation with a guy who you already know is a lil sus when it comes to nba and baseball players who kept going on about how much he loves Maxeys smile.
Seems kind of inappropriate to complete in front of people at a National dog show
