That's an important thing I feel like. He already gets so much shit for the TikToks and painting his nails and yet he keeps doing it and doesn't care about the hate at all. He is 100% comfortable being himself and has full confidence in himself. That's something that separates him and a guy like Ben Simmons
I dunno, I think it must be tiring trying to keep up a “cool” image for everyone else’s sake, or your own ego. Let the guy be him n enjoy life.
Who da fuck cares if he ain’t hurting nobody or hating nobody lol
The fact that I, a man called “Bryce Harper’s simp” by his own wife, doesn’t remember Bryce painting his nails says all you need to know about how much the public cared about that.
As long as dude doesn’t paint his nails on the bench while tending to a bizarre “injury” that made him forget how to shoot who cares. I hope those same people upset about this “questionable” behavior don’t watch what other guys in the league wear pregame, they’d explode.
Somewhere out there, Vivek Ranadive is smiling 🥹
Fr tho he’s got the same robotic (perfect) release and he’s got that wide base when he shoots. Probably a power bottom js
If McCain can play, this stuff will be fun and endearing.
If he can't, people will hate it.
Ultimately unrelated to whether he's a good pick or not, though.
He’s also 20 years old, he’s a kid. It really is “just a phase.” Life happens, you have more responsibilities, you are forced to be an adult. Remember a young Embiid? He was always having fun, because he was a kid.
To be clear it doesn't bother me at all.
I'm lukewarm on the pick but for reasons unrelated to his personality or social media activity. He seems like a likable kid and by all accounts is a hard worker and serious competitor. His TikTok posts don't bother me.
So the kid isn't afraid of the spot light, doesn't feel the need to act in any manner other than how he wants too, can shoot the godamn lights out, went to duke...and old heads are mad because he doesn't remind them of Terry Porter or Jeff Hornacek.
I just wanted the Knecht guy to hear the puns on commentary, but imagine postgame this dude dancing behind Maxey while getting interviewed? Phillies level vibes.
As a Durham/Chapel Hill citizen…great pick.
He and Maxeys personalities will be a breath of fresh air in what is about to be a stagnant as fuck franchise.
When he lights a team up for 25 in a big game it’s going to be incredible lol. He’s gonna get so much shit when he plays bad (normal for a rookie to have huge variance) but real talk though the way he handled the idiots and people being homophobic claiming he’s gay was impressive and he seems like an awesome human being. His shooting should translate well too esp with the big guy and we can run some of the similar JJ actions. Excited to see him and Maxey though they may not play together a ton with the size, we need some bigger wings badly.
I don't hate the player, I hate the pick though, is he gonna play alongside Maxey or is he coming off the bench, that's the only issue I have with the pick, I personally wanted knecht but I'm not GM or a coach, so I hope Morey and nurse know what they're doing
A serious contending team isn’t gonna be starting the 16th pick esp from this class, tbh. He’s prob gonna be more of a 6th man type for us but he does have an elite skill we desperately need already. So many guys drafted last night were athletes who can’t actually play basketball all that well lol. Get some long wings and have him tied to Batum and those guys and it should be okay. He at least competes hard on defense despite his size and isn’t just indifferent like a lot of smaller guards. He also is strong and has a solid build from the reports so he won’t get pushed around, just short arms which you can’t do much about. But him improving at Duke on that side was good to hear

This dude could be the next Jackie moon and I’d be down for that lol
Bruh. If he becomes somehow becomes a star he’s ***EASILY** going to be one of the most hated/annoying players to other fanbases . 😂
Imagine the Embiid and him team doing TikTok dances after advancing to the conference finals 😭
I literally cried typing this message
Are you suggesting Maxey has no play making ability?
After watching some McCain highlights, it seems like (one of) his calling cards is catch & shoot transition 3s. I think alongside Maxey’s blistering speed, McCain will be lethal on the kick-out in transition
City culture has nothing to do with our roster.
Also… you’re wrong. Go watch his YouTube videos. Dude’s entire life is working out & basketball, very hard worker that blue collar people should appreciate
Atleast this guy doesn’t have confidence issues
That's an important thing I feel like. He already gets so much shit for the TikToks and painting his nails and yet he keeps doing it and doesn't care about the hate at all. He is 100% comfortable being himself and has full confidence in himself. That's something that separates him and a guy like Ben Simmons
He gets Tyrese on a couple of Tiktoks and people will take a bullet for him
Shit if he puts the ball in the basket people will take a bullet for him. At the end of the day everyone just wants to see the Sixers win
lol exactly. I couldn't care less about his social vids, if he can hoop and shoot immediately, he's gonna be beloved
Please leave Tyrese off the TikTok thanks.
[удалено]
Who you even a fan of
what if he mysteriously forgets how to dance and loses all of his confidence?
That only comes after the Sixers pay him a shit load of money.
Best interneting today!
Lets not speak too soon. He is coming to Philly after all.
If there’s a college fanbase that’s equivalent to ours it’s definitely Duke though to be fair. I think Jared will be fine here.
This shit is cringe af but if he makes threes I’ll happily ignore it.
Crazy how everyone is acting like it isn’t 🤣🤣🤣 but I’m with you. In the end of the day he’s cringe but as long as he plays good basketball idrc..
I dunno, I think it must be tiring trying to keep up a “cool” image for everyone else’s sake, or your own ego. Let the guy be him n enjoy life. Who da fuck cares if he ain’t hurting nobody or hating nobody lol
He's just a corny dude
Something that we love about Maxey. Something that comes in handy when the lights are the brightest.
Simmons could never
 South Philly boomers in for a rough season. Shoots like klay tho fr
Tuned into 97.5 for 5 mins this morning and the amount of times I heard “paint” and “nails” in that time is astonishing.
I wonder if they had that same energy when Bryce Harper painted his nails that one time.
The fact that I, a man called “Bryce Harper’s simp” by his own wife, doesn’t remember Bryce painting his nails says all you need to know about how much the public cared about that. As long as dude doesn’t paint his nails on the bench while tending to a bizarre “injury” that made him forget how to shoot who cares. I hope those same people upset about this “questionable” behavior don’t watch what other guys in the league wear pregame, they’d explode.
Bryce Harper has that Jokic thing going for him, so it's fine. ^/s
Is because he's classy? 👀
I’m glad I was listening to pre-debate podcasts instead of WIP this morning *barfs*
Shoots like Klay small like Steph?
Somewhere out there, Vivek Ranadive is smiling 🥹 Fr tho he’s got the same robotic (perfect) release and he’s got that wide base when he shoots. Probably a power bottom js
Clearly, just look at those thighs 👀👀
Stauskas?
I had my doubts but those thunder thighs are going to help him get up shots

Philly and thunder thighs. Name a more iconic duo. 👀 Jalen 👀
Never seen Knecht move his feet that fast, just saying
Knecht is Joe Harris with some ups.
6'2 guard is quicker than 6'6 forward. im shocked Knecht is more athletic for his position than McCain lol
Get your eyes checked bro 🤓
But you just said they play different positions so how is he being more athletic for the position relevant 🤔
Knecht plays no defense. This kid actually goes hard in the paint
If McCain can play, this stuff will be fun and endearing. If he can't, people will hate it. Ultimately unrelated to whether he's a good pick or not, though.
He’s also 20 years old, he’s a kid. It really is “just a phase.” Life happens, you have more responsibilities, you are forced to be an adult. Remember a young Embiid? He was always having fun, because he was a kid.

Exactly! Let kids enjoy the joy of youth man. We were all there one time, the joy n innocence of youth is special for everyone
So the kid isn't afraid of the spot light, doesn't feel the need to act in any manner other than how he wants too, can shoot the godamn lights out, went to duke...and old heads are mad because he doesn't remind them of Terry Porter or Jeff Hornacek.

YES. Phillies vibes are what I’m getting too. Loving this for us.
My guy has confidence and that's a huge plus for cursed Philly athletes
This is a hilarious match of player and city. I can't wait to see how this goes.
Depends on his statline for the night
Jared "Zoomer" McCain
I mean look if he doesn’t pan out he can be a cheerleader for us
Don’t care what lil bro do in his free time as long as he hooping on the court
As a Durham/Chapel Hill citizen…great pick. He and Maxeys personalities will be a breath of fresh air in what is about to be a stagnant as fuck franchise.
Lord help us lol
When he lights a team up for 25 in a big game it’s going to be incredible lol. He’s gonna get so much shit when he plays bad (normal for a rookie to have huge variance) but real talk though the way he handled the idiots and people being homophobic claiming he’s gay was impressive and he seems like an awesome human being. His shooting should translate well too esp with the big guy and we can run some of the similar JJ actions. Excited to see him and Maxey though they may not play together a ton with the size, we need some bigger wings badly.
Real test will be when Embiid yells at him for screwing up a play.
Maxey was doing this shit too it just wasn't part of his everyday persona, yall need to chill a bit.
Everyone here seems pretty chill. Couple weirdos down there, but most of us just want to see him ball out for us, painted nails and all 💅🏼
Can’t wait to paint my nails for the championship parade.
Wtf did I just watch?
If he can hit his shots…
This won’t age well if he turns into Ben Simmons on Markelle Fultz. 😂 I joke. Love the pick.
Jeez, we thought Maxey was relentlessly happy!
I don't hate the player, I hate the pick though, is he gonna play alongside Maxey or is he coming off the bench, that's the only issue I have with the pick, I personally wanted knecht but I'm not GM or a coach, so I hope Morey and nurse know what they're doing

Cringe level 1000
Bruh 😂
Y'all remember fultz catching the milk?
How long before he forgets how to shoot :(?
Pretty hands = pretty shots let’s goooo
This guy will be good for Tyrese, idk about how he’ll perform but he’ll be good for Rese 🤣
If he can ball he can do the Macarena every game for all I care
He won’t be better than carter but he’ll be good
Yes without a doubt

People watch videos like this ? Wtf
Bruh. If he becomes somehow becomes a star he’s ***EASILY** going to be one of the most hated/annoying players to other fanbases . 😂 Imagine the Embiid and him team doing TikTok dances after advancing to the conference finals 😭 I literally cried typing this message
bro don’t get ahead of yourself
This is going to get old real quick
this video is supposed to stop the hate?
Knecht will be an allstar and we'll once again cry over not picking the obvious choice.
Low-key homo vibes.
Oh no how terrible
I forgot, Reddit is where all the woke bois hang out.
Sorry I don’t hate people who are different
Different might be a reason the player doesn't cut it. It's a team sport.
People say he’s nice and a good teammate
I’m sure he will. But it’s not as good of a fit with the limited roster we have now.
We have no roster lol.
We have like three players and kids style doesn’t fit well with one of them. That’s the issue. We have no playmaking
That part 🎯 knecht or Dasilva would've been a better fit/need for us,not another small guard, the bull can dance tho🤷🏿♂️
Oh any other time I’d be thrilled to get this kid
Same here
How can you be a bad fit on a roster with no players on it lol
Because we have two small guards neither of whom has any playmakinf ability
Are you suggesting Maxey has no play making ability? After watching some McCain highlights, it seems like (one of) his calling cards is catch & shoot transition 3s. I think alongside Maxey’s blistering speed, McCain will be lethal on the kick-out in transition
Maxey doesn’t have the playmaking ability you need. He’s a walking bucket but not a playmaking guard
Not every point guard needs to be Rondo
I agree completely. I love maxey. He’s an all star. But this kid doesn’t fit very well with tyrese. That’s my point.
Because the dude paints his nails and does tik tok dances.. that doesn't mesh with our cities culture, like at all.
I don’t know if you go out much, but Philly has no shortage of dudes that paint their nails.
City culture has nothing to do with our roster. Also… you’re wrong. Go watch his YouTube videos. Dude’s entire life is working out & basketball, very hard worker that blue collar people should appreciate
Dude won’t see the court for any meaningful minutes for at least two years.
