What Maxwell misjudged was not only that Larry Bird was phenomenal, Larry Bird was 10 times better than Cornbread ever thought about being.

​@@addieandleesfunplayaddiean7325 But in his mind Garnett was the best player he saw in Boston..that's a hard one for me to grasp a hold off..

Thank you. See how Maxx?? Likes to stir the pot??? He was the finals m.v.p... kg!! Was the Celtics best all around player!!!. He's nuts!! Best all around player???? N both ryan.n Goodman.. had no rebuttle???

Havlicek was pretty good too

Donald leider I agree with you I used. to like John Cena. I lost all respect for him when he apologized to China for calling Taiwan a country. All because he didn't want his fast and furious movie banned in China. If you have questions about something. Three words .Follow the money .

@@paulgilmore4303 Always follow the $. Leads you to the bad guy every time.

And Hong Kong.

Dont forget Marc Iavaroni

YES. He played ONE great game and got an MVP for the series. He was a journeyman player every other game. Why is anyone wasting their time interviewing him? He and Bob Ryan are talking head loud mouths.

@@91dodgespiritrt maxwell was a great offensive rebounder and was very productive for a few years but he hurt his knee in 85 and cost the celtics the 85 title. he was very nonchalant about his rehab and larry called him a quitter. soon afterward he was traded for walton who had one good year in 86.

@@eugenehechler8608 He's a legend "in YOUR mind" and in his. HA, HA

​@@91dodgespiritrt N notice. Maxwell. Never lets one forget..he won the finals m.v.p!! People don't look deep enough..if he wanted to squash things with bird..he could have done it years n years ago. Plain n simple. He broke birds balls soon as the first day of practice . He tries to make light of it to this very day. He hates magic. To this very day..magic.ladtvyear . Went up to Maxwell. Tried to shake his hand..Maxwell just walked away. Totally dissed magic. Look! I know they were rivals but a fist bump??? Would have killed Maxx??? Maxwell. Carries a lot of resentment to certain people.

That MVP, trophy should've been given to the referees!

Total opposite from magic...

He was a Celtic for eight years. Went to three finals, won two rings. By Celtic standards he deserved to have his number retired.

@@mssolomito Red Auerbach - "Maxwell didn't work to rehabilitate himself and worse, didn't care." Larry Bird- "He got his money and quit on us." Regardless of stats, if Max is in the rafters, Danny Ainge's 44 should have been raised first. Danny also put together the '08 title team.

He only deserved the stats he earned. His jersey raised, not so sure why that happened.

@@kentjax3622 Maxwell has been the analyst on Celtics radio broacasts since 2001, not a high profile job in this day and age. He was passed over years ago for the TV gig in favor of Brian Scalabrine. Partly due to his popularity w/ Celts fans and his long connection with the franchise Max was extended the honor.

That is the dumbest comment I've ever seen. Without Max, they don't win in 81 or 84.

HOGWASH, most of the CELTICS championships, were assisted by the referees!

wheres his mask here lmfao

Yeah him and Tony Masseroti are friggin annoying, also Stephen A (I'm always right and you're not) Smith.

Yeah. It was a pLandemic in the end.

@@frandavilacardenes the sheep followed well

I agree. They need to do something. At least move it back to where it used to be.

Yes! I think I remember years ago that Bobby Knight said that the three point line would ruin the game. I didn't believe him then , but I do now.

In order to get the ball back in the lane, I think if the 3pt line was an ark 1 foot from half court may encourage it. Not many will be willing to take that long shot.

Simple solution that preserves the best of both approaches. Limit the # of 3 point goals per game. Maybe 3 per game would be about right. Use them early or save them for the 4th quarter. Take as many from beyond the line as you like. But after the third one, it only scores 2 points. That preserves the 3 point shot for critical moments, but returns the importance of the post up game and the paint. You can at any time get 3 points from a 2 in the paint + 1 from the foul line. That also gets a foul on your opponent. That keeps the importance of the 3 point line, and returns the importance of the post up game.

@@dpatrick5164 Elegant solution.

Maxwell bitter over Larrys success.

Without Maxwell I doubt if they win those championships.

@@jameswashington2580 they won in 86 without cornbread, he got traded and ended his career

@@jeromemark2509 He is not. No secure man is bitter of another man. It is a weakness.

He is a proven great player under pressure. Better then most novice folks can grasp.

Well the Celtics felt like he gave up on the team, that's why they traded him, after the 85 season, he had a supposed nagging injury that kept him sidelined for awhile and when the team doctor cleared him to played, he still said he couldn't, that's the story I heard anyway.

@@Mrd9960 The way I heard HIM describe it was that he was having trouble with the injury and that his personality was kind of low key and not inclined to making a big deal about what he was going through, but that he was working on it and trying to get better. He became aware of some of his teammates' judgments that he wasn't taking it seriously or working hard enough and that he'd given up and he insisted there wasn't anything to it. Misperceptions. I believe him. The amount of bragging and self promotion he does on these shows substantiates how important his career and achievements were to him and that he wasn't inclined to giving up on himself or his team. I have nothing against him as a player: I've seen him on KZfaq, mostly, but he seems great. I suspect that if he'd been around when Mychal Thompson showed up, the Cs would've done a lot better in '87, but that's just from watching tape of the games. In any case, I'm not a big fan of the humble brag and Maxwell seems to have perfected it. Cringe.

@@justanotherguy1794 So is this the issue with him and Larry? If so, that's really a stupid reason to hold a grudge against someone, after almost 40 years, like come on guys, just let it go and make up, stop being babies about it.

@@Mrd9960 It's my understanding that that's why he got traded. It was Bird's team and they sure could've used him against the Lakers frontline in '87.

@@Mrd9960 Saw Ainge say recently that somebody on the Celtics (who remains nameless) watched while the 76'ers held Bird up so Dr. J. could pound in the face and that it really pissed off Larry.. Maybe it was Maxwell? Ainge wouldn't say.

I met Gregg Allman once in the early 80's, was a big fan of their music, haven't listened to them since.

Yeah I got bored with it too.

The title below the video says “Max on playing in a racially charged city like Boston”.

I understand it this is not making white being more sanctimonious and pure than God then why are talking about it . Yelp I understand it .

That truth is hard to here.....but I get it,but I got good news CRT will not be part of school studies.

Bird's whiteness.

So you're saying Doc robbed Bird, get real!!

@@osupamoon546 Doc? He wasn't even in The Finals 81.

Can't agree. Bird was great, but Maxwell earned earned the FMVP in 81.

@@thirdcoastslots9394 15-15-5 yeah he was robbed!

You should feel uncomfortable your a idiot not a mind reader

No the idiots are the racist and imbosals who go around promoting hatred and bigotry. Then there are the so called Christians who ascribe to the bigotry and promote it as well. To not stand for what right is just as bad as being apart of it. Idiot.

Racism can't go away if it keeps being talked about. *dummies* 😒

Cedric played for and currently works for an organization he likes to throw under the bus at the drop of a dime. Boston does have some ugly race history, there is no denying that fact. How many times can this be acknowledged before everyone is satisfied? Boston is one of the most progressive woke cities in the country. Believe me, they’ll due their self-flogging for everyone to see just so they can show the world how enlightened they’ve become. Red drafted the first black player into the NBA. Red had the first all-black starting five in the league in the mid 1960’s. He hired the first black head coach in Russell. This was done in BOSTON! Bill Russell had some terrible things done to him while living in Boston. The team faced racism on the road and they still managed to win 11 titles with Russell. You can’t stop all racism any more than you can stop the wind from blowing. There will always be fools of all races ready to stir the pot.
