Every day on "The Best Show Ever?" we ask the question of the day. And today our question was who is the best athlete in the city under 25 years old?

There are a few people to choose from. One of the first names that will come to mind is Tyrese Maxey. Maxey took a huge step last year. After barely playing his rookie season, he burst onto the scene with the Sixers. He was amongst the best 3pt shooters in the league last year. And once he got paired with James Harden, he got even better. Now with a full offseason to practice with Harden, he could take an even bigger jump.

But Jalen Hurts has a claim to being the best young athlete in Philly too. He has looked the part of a potential MVP with the Eagles so far this year. And he is not just doing it with his legs anymore, but with his arm too. And there could be other Eagles you could name as well. Devonta Smith has proven himself a dynamic threat at WR. Jordan Davis is still on a low snap count, but when he is out there he dominates. And Landon Dickerson has looked like an elite LG when healthy.

The Phillies have some potential options as well. Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm probably can't be considered as good as Maxey and Hurts, at least not yet. But they do have one of the best young pitching prospects in Baseball in Andrew Painter. he is only 19 years old, will turn 20 at the start of the next season, and it looks like he could make the Phillies roster next year.

But maybe you have someone else in mind. Who is the best athlete under 25 in Philly? We asked, and you answered.
