Kyle Lowry, now 39 and entering his 20th NBA season, is a force to be reckoned with in the locker room. To his teammates, he's more than just a veteran presence - he's a leader who still brings energy and enthusiasm to every game.
The Sixers' players can't help but rave about Lowry's work ethic and dedication to the team. "He old as hell," Tyrese Maxey quipped in reference to his age, "but he works out every day, works out hard every day." This relentless drive has rubbed off on Maxey and others, who admire Lowry's ability to motivate them both individually and collectively.
Lowry's impact extends beyond the court. Quentin Grimes praised him for giving the team a sense of unity before each game, getting everyone "pumped up" and ready to go. Meanwhile, Trendon Watford was genuinely amazed by Lowry's continued success after 20 years in the league. "Crazy, bro," he exclaimed. "I was telling him, 'Damn, I can't even imagine doing this 15 more years.'"
But what sets Lowry apart is his ability to impart valuable wisdom to his teammates. Maxey credited Lowry with teaching him the importance of leadership. "Lead. Lead," Lowry reportedly told him during their conversations. This mentorship has been invaluable for Maxey, who now strives to be a leader like his veteran teammate.
Lowry's presence on the court is also not to be underestimated. Kelly Oubre Jr. described him as a winner and a pro, someone who inspires others with his work ethic and dedication to excellence. Even in celebration of Lowry's milestone season, his teammates couldn't help but acknowledge how much they appreciate having him in their corner.
For all the accolades he's accumulated over 20 years, it's clear that Kyle Lowry remains an integral part of the Sixers' success - a leader who continues to lift up and motivate those around him.
