" Tyrese Maxey has surpassed Allen Iverson for the most 3-point field goals made in 76ers HISTORY."
Maxey will have the opportunity to continue adding to his franchise record. Especially considering the six-year veteran signed a five-year, $204 million contract in the summer of 2024. That deal has him locked to Philadelphia through the 2028-29 campaign.
The 25-year-old guard has emerged as a superstar in Philadelphia since joining the club in 2020. He finally had his breakout year in the 2023-24 campaign after earning the Most Improved Player of the Year Award for his efforts.

His performances this season earned him the second All-Star nod of his career.

Tyrese Maxey was able to surpass Allen Iverson's three-point record in just six seasons, while it took the 76ers legend just over 10 seasons to reach 885 three-pointers made. However, the game has significantly changed since then, as players shoot more threes than ever before.
