NBA All-Stars Rave About New-look Sixers

It's All-Star Weekend, so we thought we would find out about what fellow All-Stars and other players think about your new-look Sixers.

And let's just say, this should make Sixers fans feel pretty good ...

"They're different. Obviously, they've been good, but they added more depth, more athleticism, more scoring, more star power, and you look at that starting lineup and it's really good, and you've got TJ (McConnell) coming off the bench with James Ennis and Jonathon Simmons, so it gives you some athleticism coming off the bench. They are up there." - James Harden

"Big. Long. Athletic. It will be interesting to see how much better they can get, adding Tobias Harris and those guys, because they have already shown they can be one of the top teams in the East, so with those new additions, I think the sky is the limit for them. It's going to be fun to watch." - Mike Conley

 "When you have four guys that are really All-Stars on a team, and then a bunch of other guys around them that can play really well, it makes it interesting to see how it's going to work out. It makes them tough." - Danny Green, who also said Tobias Harris should've been an All-Star

"Right now they are extremely dangerous, need a little bit more time to play together, but they can match (anybody in the) world." - Nikola Jokic

"Tough ... they are probably in the talks to win the championships, for sure." - Luka Doncic

"They're a super, super talented team … We've got a good rivalry going, they are super competitive, we are very familiar with them, and they are very familiar with us. Lot of trash talking out there, that's what makes basketball super fun, when you're super competitive like that and everyone is watching." - Jayson Tatum

 "All the players they have, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler now, and also got JJ Redick as a shooter and now they just incorporated Tobias. They're going to have to get their chemistry together with him. They are just going to be a totally different team." - Kawhi Leonard
