VJ Edgecombe and Jared McCain exchange love and respect after the Oklahoma City Thunder knocked off the Philadelphia 76ers.

PHILADELPHIA -- It's important to build relationships in any profession, but for a young player in the NBA, it's especially important to find a support system quickly. While playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, Jared McCain was able to find that quickly as he found his friendships with the likes of Tyrese Maxey, Justin Edwards, and rookie VJ Edgecombe. It's quite easy to bond with McCain as he is somebody who always has a smile on his face and is looking to help anybody who needs it and offer advice or a friendly smile.

Edgecombe found that out rather quickly, and seeing McCain in Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, allowed the two to briefly reunite. "It was super great to see him, man," said Edgecombe. "I’m super happy for him.

We still talk here and there, but I’m glad to see him out there and having fun. He’s really bonding with his teammates and stuff like that. I mean, if you don’t bond with Jared, something may be wrong with you.

I’m super excited for him. He made some shots tonight. He got hot early, but yeah, man.
