11月3日，24直播网报道，在《The Hoop Collective》播客的一期节目中，ESPN资深记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon对费城76人队本赛季的开局表现表示赞赏，并对球员马克西的表现给予了极高的评价。
"According to Windhorst, I had anticipated that the 76ers might face some initial challenges during the early stages of the season, given the abundance of players accustomed to handling the ball. The question arises: who among them has the upper hand in terms of offensive priority? How will the players forge a cohesive chemistry? These are issues that demand resolution. Nonetheless, a record of six wins and one loss stands as such. Maxi is undoubtedly their top performer at present, and I see this as a positive development. He is an exceptional game closer, and when discussing the team's performance in crucial moments, the presence of such a player is invaluable."
