VJ Edgecombe made NBA History on Tuesday night in Boston
I don’t want to hear another word about the Sixers not being able to compete in this series. Not after what we just watched Tuesday night.
VJ Edgecombe dropped 30 points and 10 rebounds on 12-of-20 shooting with six threes and two steals. In his second career playoff game. At 20 years old. In Boston.
Without Joel Embiid. Against the two seed. On the road after getting blown out by 32 points two days earlier.
That’s not just a good game. That’s history.
VJ Edgecombe DOMINATES in Boston
Edgecombe became the youngest player in NBA history to total 30 or more points and 10 or more rebounds in a postseason game. The last rookie to do that was Tim Duncan in 1998. Tim Duncan. The greatest power forward to ever play basketball. That’s the name VJ Edgecombe is sitting next to in the record books now.
He’s also the first rookie in NBA history to hit five or more threes and grab 10 or more rebounds in a playoff game. Nobody has ever done that. Ever. He’s the first rookie with a 30-point double-double in the playoffs since Derrick Rose in 2009. Rose went on to win MVP two years later. Duncan won five championships. That’s the tier of company this kid just entered on a Tuesday night in April.
You Knew It Was Over When VJ Edgecombe Winked At The Camera
Tyrese Maxey was right there with him. 29 points, nine assists, five threes, two steals. Back-to-back pull-up threes in the fourth quarter when the Celtics had cut it to one and the game was on the line. That’s a franchise point guard doing franchise point guard things when it matters most.
Maxey Caught Fire In The 4th
VJ Edgecombe drops 30 in Boston, Sixers head back to Philly tied 1-1 with the Celtics
Together they combined for 59 points, 11 threes, and 11 assists. On the road. In the building where they got embarrassed 48 hours earlier. The Maxey and Edgecombe backcourt just announced to the entire league that the Sixers aren’t going anywhere.
The series is tied 1-1. Game 3 is Friday night in South Philly. Embiid might be coming back. The building is going to be shaking and VJ Edgecombe is playing like he was born for this.
