Oubre Leads Sixers with Resilience and Growth Mindset

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers are making a strong start to the season, moving past last year’s struggles. Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. have been standout players, helping the team earn key victories.

Oubre scored 19 points in Philadelphia’s recent win on Saturday. His consistent scoring has become vital for the Sixers as they look to build momentum. Alongside Maxey, Oubre’s performance is a bright spot in the team’s early success.

What sets Oubre apart this season is his positive attitude. The 11-year veteran emphasizes the importance of not dwelling on mistakes. “You can’t harp on the past. It’s not going to help you in the future,” Oubre shared. He encourages younger players to adopt a “next play mentality.” His approach has contributed significantly to his team’s achievements.

Oubre reflects on his journey and how he has evolved as a player. “When I was younger, I was not this way,” he admitted. He acknowledges that perfection is unrealistic in basketball, but staying present is key. His leadership and determination are assets the Sixers have relied on.

Despite being in the league for over a decade, Oubre is committed to continuous improvement. “I’m not where I want to be by any stretch of my career,” he explained. He actively seeks new ways to elevate his game through learning.

One source of inspiration for Oubre is the book *Beginner’s Mind*, which encourages ongoing growth. “I’m not a complacent person,” he stated. His dedication to personal development pushes him to strive to be better each year.
