The overall results weren’t sparkling and the Sixers sure looked quite small at times, but Maxey still had a glowing review … outside of a good-natured dig at Kyle Lowry. “It’s great,” he said with a smile in the visiting locker room. “It reminds me of Kentucky, honestly. I played in a starting lineup with me, Immanuel Quickley and Ashton Hagans. That lineup was very effective. You’ve got three guys who can penetrate, create their own shot, create shots for others, shoot the ball … and play defense. So they’re going to be extremely pesky and bothersome. That group’s great. It was good to have Kyle back. Reggie Jackson made some big shots. Now we just need Kyle to make a three and we’ll be OK.”

Reggie Jackson: "P hit me up and was like, ‘Yo, I got a spot for you. Come run with me.’ He knew I was down in the dumps. I hadn’t talked to many people, and I told him, ‘P, I’m cool. When this year’s done, it’s over. I’ll come watch you, support you, but I’m good.’ But he wasn’t having it. He said, ‘No, bro. I got you. For a year, I got you. I’ll take care of you mentally. I’ll be in your corner.’ And I thought, why not? Things didn’t go well in the bubble, but then I said, let’s give it one more run. One more run, just to say I did 10 years. That 10th year changed everything for me. People believed in me. P believed in me. T-Lue coached me, instilled confidence in me, and reminded me I still had something left in the tank."

Reggie Jackson: "Honestly, if that call didn’t come, I wouldn’t be a champion. It’s funny how life works. You need great people around you to pick you up when you can’t pick yourself up at times. I’m always thankful for P, for our relationship, and for everything that has transpired throughout our lives. We’re going to be locked forever. I’m always thankful for how he was there for me when I didn’t believe in myself. He believed in me more than I did. That kind of relationship, where someone puts you in a position to succeed even when you’re ready to walk away, is rare. And for that, I’ll always have a deep appreciation."
Paul George said that “the people that go out and we’re in the trenches with on a nightly basis” were the only people in the room during the meeting. This certainly means players, likely means coaches and may also mean trainers. Reggie Jackson was a guest on that episode of Podcast P and gave his insight on the meeting, which he said had “no negativity” on display. “It was just a positive meeting,” the 76ers point guard said. “Honestly, not doing too well right now as we want. Still got a long season ahead of us. But really we sat there, just talked about the game, things that we feel like we can improve on, things that we could be better on and then how we can just try to put this behind us and just move in the right direction and be positive.”
The Nuggets have an ownership group that has historically avoided paying luxury taxes and a front office hard-capped by the NBA's restrictive collective bargaining agreement. They've lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Bruce Brown, Jeff Green and Reggie Jackson from the 2022-23 championship roster -- a role-player talent drain that has strained the relationship between head coach Michael Malone and a front office financially limited in what it can do. "There was this urge to compete, especially from the players and the coaches and even myself," Booth told ESPN. "You want to win, especially coming off the heels of winning the championship. And that's probably where the tension started. "What are you guys trying to do? Are you trying to win? Are you trying to develop? I think everybody had the best intent going in. There was buy-in. But I think competition and the focus on that can distract you from the buy-in."
Keith Pompey: “Reggie Jackson is a playoff-tested veteran who brings leadership and experience to our backcourt. He’s been a dynamic offensive player throughout his 13 seasons in the league.” - Daryl Morey, the Sixers president of basketball operations.
