[Highlight] VJ Edgecombe sprints to the rim and throws down the two-handed slam dunk to increase the 76ers’ lead heading into halftime. Edgecombe has 20 points on the night.
Kid is incredible
Sam Presti licking his lips for another “sold high” rookie
I will legitimately never watch a game of basketball again if VJ isn’t a 6er for the next 10 years minimum
He’s not just a sensational player but he also has an amazing attitude and is the most lovable player we’ve had in a very very long time
Bruh Maxey is on the team right now
Don’t get me wrong I love Maxey and he was my favorite before VJ but there’s something about VJ that I can’t describe. Very first game I saw him play he was immediately my favorite
The hunger is what I see I knew from his draft interview talking about him growing up that he’d come in with a hunger to win and prove himself right
VJ is gonna be a star. If they trade him prematurely because they have Maxey, Morey is gonna have his own Presti-Harden situation. He is Philly’s future.
It wouldn’t even make sense. They moved on from McCain (wrongly imo) because they feel like Maxey Edgecombe is the backcourt of the future.
VJ has a higher ceiling tbh
Morey is still an idiot for saying that but it’s obvious what it meant. McCain wouldn’t be getting more than 7-10 minutes in the playoff rotation and come June wouldn’t be getting the return of the 22nd pick and multiple 2nds.
McCain might never make an all-star game.
VJ is a future All-NBA star.
The two aren’t remotely comparable.
Mccain played 8 minutes in game 1. Basically entirely blowout.
I mean we sure could have used someone like McCain in our game 1.

*5 rings stuck to the bench
I know u saw what he did vs you OKC boys with 0 help, as Cam Payne and Marjon Beauchamp as the other options
that game alone should have won him ROTY while Cooper gets 50 stat padding in tanking games lol
NBA awards all a joke anyway
He’s future All NBA my god
The Edgelord
He dont need his lower back
We Love Pain, the rare actual Dawg in the NBA
Edging his VJ until he combes
While Maxey Pads his stats. Some Ouber Grimey PG-13 stuff happening with this team, good lord
I’m worried about his back now though. His giant Dong already weighing him down and I ain’t kidding either
“Edgelord” is great, he could lean into the Gen Z-ness by getting the xxxtentacion bleached streak
This was known the first week he stepped on an nba court lol
Flagg, Kon, VJ
What a draft class.
Dylan, Ace, Coward, Queen can be amazing too.
harper is gonna be insane
Yeah nobody can convince me this guy isn’t the best rookie, he plays like a 10 year vet all star
He isn’t, but he is amazing.
It’s just that the top two guys had two of the greatest rookie seasons ever.
Had being past tense. This guy is still “having” his great rookie season
And there was also much of March where he was technically the first option on a playoff bound team
Was so painful to see Philly draft Edgecombe. Always felt he could be a multi-time All Star kinda player and his performance so far doesn’t make me feel any different
Would you like to see how VJ Edgecombe would do with the Mavericks roster?
Saw him score 35 on 50% shooting against OKC with the entire starting lineup out
Because single game sample sizes is such a good way to judge a player.
Good thing I’ve watched just about every game he’s played this season!
Played 9 games this season without big 3. 3 consecutive 30 point games. Averages below.
Points,23.4 PPG Rebounds,6.2 RPG Assists,5.8 APG Steals,1.9 SPG FG%,44.2% 3P%,36.1%
The sixers roster has alternated all season between playoff contender and g-league level depending on who’s resting
I watched him in person smoke the fuck out of Sacaramento and put up 39. The 3 max players were out. He does that when they are out.
Better than both
Cooper Stat Padding to 16 outta 18 losses mean nothing
VJ is literally only reason 76ers in the playoffs and winning games
Kid is literally the most winning player ive seen as a Rookie ever
All these stat lines mean nothing, Jokic rated #1 defender by some metrics..they mean NOTHING. VJ can do everything
yeah lets just forget that VJ has another all star, borderline All nba player on his team with him. Cooper has Naji Marshall
We’ve gone past advanced metrics to the stone age to where rankings are decided on pure vibes?
Not sure but I do think he is the most well rounded rookie of the class
Hyper athlete too. Has a clear path of improving significantly.
He does all the dirty work, winning player
he’s playing an insane half, talk it up baby
He’s gonna be a mini Jimmy Butler. And he’s already pretty far along.
Something qwhite different about those other two though.
Yeah you are delusional
he’s great but not consistent enough unfortunately 😞
lol
Jimmy butler jnr. This kid is a star
What’s crazy is he’s way better than Jimmy was at the same age.
Jimmy was pretty famously a late bloomer, played all 4 years of college and was the last pick of the 1st round in 2011. No one thought he’d be a star
Reminds me of d wade
Reminds me of Ant a lot as well. Could be a mix of those two.
I liked this kid the minute I saw him balling his eyes out after being selected, so humble and he doin it for his mama. Hes going to be an all time great.
Funny enough, maxey did the exact same thing
This is ALL I wanted to see this whole series. VJ is the real deal and I just wanted him specifically to show some grit and show what he can do in a playoff game. When Celtics win in 5 I want them to say “this kids gonna be a problem for us soon”
The Celtics are not winning in 5. No one is. This is gonna be a good one.
Edging on my comb 🪮
edge cum goes crazy, penetrates, busts a move toward the rim, shoots, puts it in the hole!
Attacks viciously just like the black mamba. Penetrating the strongest defenses and scoring at will regardless of the opposing teams consent to get destroyed.
The fact that a team with Maxey and Embiid has this rookie is proof that tanking pays off.
