The 76ers star has endured an up-and-down season, but a conversation with his parents helped jumpstart him into a better mindset on the court. The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Los Angeles Lakers 118-104 on Tuesday night thanks to a season-high 43 points from guard Tyrese Maxey, who exploded offensively to pace the Sixers to a win.

Maxey's scoring prowess has kept the Sixers afloat all season. He recently joined Wilt Chamberlain, Allen Iverson, and Joel Embiid as the only Sixers to score 28 points or more in 11 straight games.

Tyrese Maxey explains why the Philadelphia 76ers can turn their season around and make a playoff push despite their sluggish start in this one-on-one interview.

Tyrese Maxey just proved it is never too late to fanboy over veterans of the game, particularly, LeBron James. Despite being in the league for five years now, Maxey has kept a wish to himself.
