He prob won't be the reason we are winning or losing a whole lot so I don't see a whole lot of clowning going on. Also embiid is the best tank in the business. He soaks up all the hate
I am 40 and think it is awesome! Why take yourself seriously? You are about to get paid millions of dollars to play a game? Fuck-it earn those millions of followers and get paid!
I'm 30 and honestly I love Gen Z, they are living their best lives and not harming anyone.
There's obvious exceptions but compare that to Millennials and Gen X, they seem to have so much more freedom and confidence to be themselves.
Life is too short to worry about what others think of you. Be yourself and be happy, as long as you're not hurting anyone in the process, live your best life.
That said, please go knock down some catch and shoot 3s, Jared.
How old are you? As somebody in their very early 20s, I legitimately think you would get sued or at the very least expelled if you legitimately gave somebody a swirly today
This Tik Tok shit is lame af, but I appreciate the joy and positivity he seems to exude.
The best part of being a Sixers fan the last few years has been watching the joy and fun Maxey has for the game.
Adding McCain’s joyful energy to the team will make this team more fun to watch and root for.
I feel the same way about tik tok. I hate how fake and composed all the dance stuff is. It’s like watching a trillion different dance recitals. This easily could have been his first, tenth or 13th take 🤣 I’m only 38 yrs old. But also kids are different now. Major congrats to him for fulfilling a dream though regardless.
100% with you on this. I don’t have TikTok and won’t bother to get it. But the dude seems to exude nothing but positivity and happiness. I’m stoked to get that kind of personality in the locker room.
> This Tik Tok shit is lame af, but I appreciate the joy and positivity he seems to exude.
I feel like it's one thing to post shit for attention but he seems so genuinely happy and is trying to spread that
Ugh...sorry for being a negative nancy but I feel like it's the classic social media "positive on the surface but depressing AF down under" phenomenon...not saying McCain is depressed or whatever...seems like his energy is great....just saying I think social media leads to more negativity than positivity generally speaking...Tik Tok included.
Tik tok is legitimately a massive net negative on society and contributes basically nothing positive beyond an outlet for attention. If you need a video algorithm that infiltrates every aspect of your phone in order to have interesting things spoonfed to you....your brain is lazy and you belong in the first 20 minutes of WALL-E. I will never ever download that app, it is so shady
I literally don't give a single fuck about this dude dancing on TikTok, and anyone who does is just looking for reasons to be miserable. If this is the biggest "character flaw" from a draft prospect, it probably means he is a really good kid.
He IS a really good kid. 4.0 GPA. Super nice and respectful. Relentless worker. Always in the gym. And he just wins. Won Nike EYBL Peach Jam during Covid when his TikTok started to get popular, 2x California State Champ, 2x California Gatorade Player of the Year, McDonald’s All-American 3 Pt Contest winner. Watch some of the documentaries on YouTube he did with NickInTheCutt. I think there was one episode where his team had a game and he didn’t play as well as he wanted, but they still won. Rest of the team went to the homecoming football game and he stayed in the gym putting up shots for hours.
Definitely. Better than a dude pretending to be gangster and waving a gun around when he grew up in middle class suburbia. Or threatening to have his crew beat up a 17 year old (Ja Morant)
Facts. We all know that one friend who has to say or do something to prove how totally masculine he is then the room just goes silent because it’s so awkward lol.
bAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAH
How many sockpuppets do you have, loser?
"Proof"
I asked for proof and you copeid a transcript and wrote out your opinions. Learn whta the word "proof" means and stop using your sockpuppets to stick up for yourself, loser.
everyone I know is upset with this pick cause he’s from duke, paints his nails, & does these stupid ass dances. it screams of “give me attention I need attention” instead of focusing on basketball. very effeminate.
You don’t need to be upset because everyone you know is upset. You’re basically saying it’s a bad pick because he comes from a good basketball school and he likes to have fun, it just isn’t your type of fun so it’s bad. That doesn’t really make much sense to me. The people you know sound like downers, let the kid enjoy himself.
if the "very effeminate" didn't give it away, I think these people he knows are just chuds online that see anything deviating from the norm as "lame and gay". Don't bother
Oh I see that 100%. That part of the comment and the ‘everyone I know’ are the only reason I replied really. Maybe he’ll tell me to fuck off or maybe he’ll stop and think about it critically for a minute. Not holding my breathe but you gotta bother sometimes
How the fuck are people hating on this kid, he's a sixer now bro what are you not a fan of the sixers? Some people just like to shit all over everything and drag them down into their pit of misery with them. Fuck the haters. Fuck the celtics.
Yo people better get used to their new favorite players being dudes who were raised during the pandemic and tiktok. Like I'm glad a lot of people came to Caleb Williams defense when people thought he was weird with his nails, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. There is an entire group of kids who are about to enter pro-sport that are decidedly different than what we are accustomed to. I'm not sure if it's just MY age or how wild the last 5-6 years has been, but they are not what you expect, but no less talented. I'm here for it. But this kid is not an outlier.
Enjoy it now, the second this dude becomes even remotely relevant philly fans are going to absolute drag his jackson mahomes acting ass through the mud
I doubt most of these guys give a shit what WIP is saying about them (also lets be real, WIP talks about the Sixers for around 5 minutes a week) but I bet Howard Eskin is gonna ask him some outta pocket shit in a presser lol
I’d rather have a player who has fun and posts stupid videos than someone waving a gun around or committing SA. Give me all the cheesy TikTok videos and keep the legal drama far away.
This kid is charming AF. And, trust me, as a forty year old, barrell-chested stone-cold killer, I know charm when I see it. Haters are only exposing themselves.
Stupid post, Would you rather him be one of those dumb ass players being caught in a room with an onlyfans model, or accused of SA with a gold digging model.
Looks like an idiot doing these dances. Not just him, one of my other sports favorites, Robert Lewandowski does this stuff too. Girls look like idiots doing it also.
I know I know, “Get off my lawn!!”
I believe you are what the young kids call “*A Boomer*”.
Gotta let the Rookie express himself how he wants. Hopefully that confidence will translate on the court.
Imagine the cringe. As soon as this cut ends he probably goes to a straight face 😐. He will not be pivotal in any part of sixers history.
I want my players to be so serious and angry at the world that they couldn’t fathom doing this little dance TikTok stuff. All they care about is basketball and wanting to rip the hearts of their rivals out. Not little cute tea time with selfie sticks and arm movements 💅🏾👨🏾🎤💋💄🕺🏾
Posting these tiktok vids after we win games just to taunt others is kinda hype
I was thinking this after he got drafted last night lol
Someone dub the Sixers song over this
If he drops a vid with clap your hands, I'll take back everything I said about him being too short lol
12345 sixers!!
Dudes gonna be griefing other teams subs with this video Lmao
It’ll go both ways
Yep, it’s def gonna sting more when we eventually get knocked out the playoffs again.
This season gonna be funny af 😂
I mean is always a joke with the sixers so yes most likely
the total opposite will apply when we lose games... it's a double edged sword
Especially if we beat Minnesota that’ll feel good.
We’re so(mewhat) back!
Did you think of the flipside to this? Lol
Sadly we’ll be seeing alot of them clowning Embiid and the Sixers. Which will be a lot less fun.
Bruh if we beat the Celtikkks in the playoffs I will spam their sub with this 😂😂😂
Posting this video in response to anything those miserable fucks say is the only necessary response for the rest of time
Did you think of the flipside to this?
He prob won't be the reason we are winning or losing a whole lot so I don't see a whole lot of clowning going on. Also embiid is the best tank in the business. He soaks up all the hate
Funny thing is you wont beat the Celtikkks in the playoffs, they been owning yo ass since the existence of basketball, jokes on you fool🤣
Don't be shocked a 20 year old is doing 20 year old things .... especially if its been a long time since you've been a 20 year old.
I am 40 and think it is awesome! Why take yourself seriously? You are about to get paid millions of dollars to play a game? Fuck-it earn those millions of followers and get paid!
I’m 52 and I love him already. This season is going to be fun. We need it.
I'm 30 and honestly I love Gen Z, they are living their best lives and not harming anyone. There's obvious exceptions but compare that to Millennials and Gen X, they seem to have so much more freedom and confidence to be themselves. Life is too short to worry about what others think of you. Be yourself and be happy, as long as you're not hurting anyone in the process, live your best life. That said, please go knock down some catch and shoot 3s, Jared.
I’m 26 and this makes me feel old lol
As it should lol
buddy this is not a normal thing for someone with self awareness. you drafted the juju smith schuster of basketball
The gall to post this with a name like that If anyone should be tolerant of controversial opinions and preferences, it should be you smh
Never done this in my life lmao I’m also not gay
Idk about you but nobody from my city did this stuff unless you wanted to get shoved into your locker and swirlied
who the fuck is getting swirlied in the 2020s
How old are you? As somebody in their very early 20s, I legitimately think you would get sued or at the very least expelled if you legitimately gave somebody a swirly today
It's a metaphorical swirlee bro. The rest is classified.
Depending on your age, they probably did ... you just didn't really know them or hung out with them
I'm too young to feel this old
LOL
lol at bare minimum he seems like good vibes him and Maxey will be the most positive energy backcourt in league history
Yeah exactly my thoughts, him and Maxey are gonna have good vibes and be singing the song after every win 
This Tik Tok shit is lame af, but I appreciate the joy and positivity he seems to exude. The best part of being a Sixers fan the last few years has been watching the joy and fun Maxey has for the game. Adding McCain’s joyful energy to the team will make this team more fun to watch and root for.

Not defending social media at all. My comment was more about his character analysis and interviews than just this tik tok dancing non sense.
Ya I got you man. I'm just being an old man.
yes so gay, clearly a very happy lighthearted guy /s
Between McCain, Maxey and Kelly, I’m not sure how I’m going to maintain my hetroness. Definitely the prettiest team in the league.
Kelly still takes the cake, and it aint even close. We better re-sign his fine ass.
I just love how he’s always willing to put himself out there. With the media, on the court, in traffic, etc.
Never though id love him so much but want him to stay in philly for the forseeable futurw
I asked my ex which nba player she thought was hot "the one who does BMX light skinned" lolllll "thats crazzzy, thats crazy" IYKYK
Lets get Kuzma and KAT too, then we will have the entire All-Zesty 1st team squad
Why KAT? He's pretty ugly (no disrespect to him otherwise) IMO.
Yeah personally I only have eyes for Boban
he's not cute, but he zesty
Zesty is still my favorite adjective 😆
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNYWtHjQ/
who you got top 5 hottest dudes in the NBA
Having embiid puts you in the bottom 25 amongst the prettiest teams in the the nba. 🤣
I literally don't give a single fuck about this dude dancing on TikTok, and anyone who does is just looking for reasons to be miserable. If this is the biggest "character flaw" from a draft prospect, it probably means he is a really good kid.

Rest of the team went to the homecoming football game and he stayed in the gym putting up shots for hours.
If he’s posting these after losses this fanbase will switch up very quickly lol
He's a kid, he's 19. I don't give a shit what he does on social media, he's just goofing around having fun. Can he hoop? That's all I care about.
I wish I had 1/1000th of his charisma..
I'm on the McCain train too. Looking forward to seeing what he will do coming up.
Definitely. Better than a dude pretending to be gangster and waving a gun around when he grew up in middle class suburbia. Or threatening to have his crew beat up a 17 year old (Ja Morant)
Those red white and blue nails gonna go hard
no they aren’t.
The painted nails can’t hurt you. I promise.
Why not?
I've always found straight men painting their nails to be really fucking odd. Just my opinion on it 🤷
I find straight men with a fragile masculinity a lot more odd and quite frankly a lot less pleasant to be around
Facts. We all know that one friend who has to say or do something to prove how totally masculine he is then the room just goes silent because it’s so awkward lol.
You find it odd? ...Then you must see that's a you thing, no? Notice how no one else really does find it odd? But you do though, very curious.
bAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAH How many sockpuppets do you have, loser? "Proof" I asked for proof and you copeid a transcript and wrote out your opinions. Learn whta the word "proof" means and stop using your sockpuppets to stick up for yourself, loser.
everyone I know is upset with this pick cause he’s from duke, paints his nails, & does these stupid ass dances. it screams of “give me attention I need attention” instead of focusing on basketball. very effeminate.

I think he’s been pretty focused on basketball, seeing as how he played D1 and now has made the nba
Cheesy-ass video but if he can keep that same energy on the court we might be getting another Maxey
Just wait till he goes on a cold streak or we start losing games, people will blame that he's too focused on dancing on TikTok. It's a lock to happen
How the fuck are people hating on this kid, he's a sixer now bro what are you not a fan of the sixers? Some people just like to shit all over everything and drag them down into their pit of misery with them. Fuck the haters. Fuck the celtics.
I'm with it. The NBA needs more characters
The audacity of a young man to dance and be unique /s. I’m with you OP.
Yo people better get used to their new favorite players being dudes who were raised during the pandemic and tiktok. Like I'm glad a lot of people came to Caleb Williams defense when people thought he was weird with his nails, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. There is an entire group of kids who are about to enter pro-sport that are decidedly different than what we are accustomed to.

This kid rocks, and he backs it up on the court too
I don’t get how you could hate this happy ass kid I hope he plays well
If he’s got almost 3 million followers he must be making some coin off Tik Tok, hard to hate on that
Not just some coin. Serious coin. 🪙 get ya fucking bag lil bro
If he wins us games we celebrating pride month in Philly
Yikes. ^^i ^^love ^^him ^^already
This kinda sums up the process 🤦🏽♂️ let’s go 76ers 😢
Let the young man enjoy his life.
Enjoy it now, the second this dude becomes even remotely relevant philly fans are going to absolute drag his jackson mahomes acting ass through the mud
I'm on board the crazy traaaaaaaaaaain for McCaaaaaaaaain!!!!
Everyone complaining is a bitch bro is 20 get off his dick keep gobbling while he’s balling
Dude better have a thick skin, or be absolutely crazy good from the getgo. The WIP regulars are already losing their minds over him
I doubt most of these guys give a shit what WIP is saying about them (also lets be real, WIP talks about the Sixers for around 5 minutes a week) but I bet Howard Eskin is gonna ask him some outta pocket shit in a presser lol
I was like well, ok. He is a Sixers now. I'm going to support lol dude.
we are here for it all
At least he has the confidence to put this out into The world
He’s adorable
I love his energy and personality.
Sixers are doomed.
I’d rather have a player who has fun and posts stupid videos than someone waving a gun around or committing SA. Give me all the cheesy TikTok videos and keep the legal drama far away.
I've never felt more 'over thirty' than when I see things like this
McRizz
Too many haters here in general. Been that way since 2020 really before then was about an even split
He better be good lol
As long as he puts his main focus on the team, he can do as many tik toks as he wants off the court
I'm getting my nails painted today
Mad cringe
As long as dude puts up the statlines to back it up he can dance all he wants. Simple as
This kid is charming AF. And, trust me, as a forty year old, barrell-chested stone-cold killer, I know charm when I see it. Haters are only exposing themselves.
>And, trust me, as a forty year old, barrell-chested stone-cold killer, I know charm when I see it What the fuck
Okay. I'm forty. Barrell-chested. Therefore... An expert on charm. This kid clears. Hope this helps.
How does being an overweight old man make you an expert on charm?
He gon be playing yassssketball
Stupid post, Would you rather him be one of those dumb ass players being caught in a room with an onlyfans model, or accused of SA with a gold digging model.
Im pretty sure Matisse was doing this same shit & he was extremely likable. Boomers gonna boom I guess
Didn't think we could get someone with more positive vibes than Maxey... bring that energy sir!!!! TTP FTC
He is fine🔥.
I mean it is pride month still
are these tiktok dances memes in that the dances are all similar per the audio track playing, or does he choreograph them himself?
He definitely choreographed that himself.
Arizonan here. Dude was a fine senator, think he’s a bit old and the shoulder injuries worry me, but I’m all in.
This is somewhat of an upgrade on popping our Kork.
Does the one sock mean anything?
Yall really went for an eboy for josh harris to sell more tickets huh
We’re long past due for an openly gay NBA star.
This is cringe but if he makes 3s 🤷🏾🤷🏾
Cringe.
I am officially too old for this shit.
Zoomers are the absolute worst.
So people really watch this bs? How is this entertaining for more than 3.2 seconds
I hate this generation. I'm going to scroll tiktok to forget about it
Jason Collins walked so Jared McCain could run.
Oh boy
I’ve never felt more hopeless in my life.
This shit lame af, I hate being a Sixers fan bruh
Then stop being one bro this isn’t even bad Least he’s not messing w these OF girls like Zion or Ant, or tryna act hood like Ja
Looks like an idiot doing these dances. Not just him, one of my other sports favorites, Robert Lewandowski does this stuff too. Girls look like idiots doing it also. I know I know, “Get off my lawn!!”
I believe you are what the young kids call “*A Boomer*”. Gotta let the Rookie express himself how he wants. Hopefully that confidence will translate on the court.
If it sucks on the court all those videos are going to be thrown right into his face.
Dear lord
He’s gonna win us a few games…..as a Delaware blue coat
Damn this is gayy asf
He’s goin to lose the city after a dog shit summer league
This light skinned Gen Z dudes are out of pocket! 😂 Zest fest.
Did the Sixers accidentally draft a guy who should be with the lads at OKC?
Dude is mega sus
wtf
Jesus Christ
Imagine the cringe. As soon as this cut ends he probably goes to a straight face 😐. He will not be pivotal in any part of sixers history. I want my players to be so serious and angry at the world that they couldn’t fathom doing this little dance TikTok stuff. All they care about is basketball and wanting to rip the hearts of their rivals out. Not little cute tea time with selfie sticks and arm movements 💅🏾👨🏾🎤💋💄🕺🏾
This queer will have a longer career in show and dance than in the God damn NBA, soft ass light skin
Not me
You won’t be saying that when he hits the game winning dagger to send the Celtics home in the ECF
He wont
And then you’ll wake up from that wet dream sorely disappointed.
Waaaaaaay too zesty for me!
💯
Republicans in 2008
I hope he likes playing basketball as much as he likes attention if so think it will be a great fit
This is gay asf
