WATCH: VJ Edgecombe’s reaction to Tyrese Maxey being named an All-Star is exactly what you need to start your day

Nothing puts a smile on my face quite like seeing VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey bond. They’re the two brightest stars in Philly sports right now and have brought the 76ers out of the depths of the abyss.

When Maxey was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his career on Monday, Edgecombe was obviously hype.

Love this stuff, man.

In times like this, where it feels like all of the Philly teams are collectively kicking you in the balls, it’s refreshing to see some hope. Edgecombe and Maxey are the personification of hope in this city right now. I can’t wait until Edgecombe joins Maxey in the All-Star game one day.
