Cedric Maxwell

The song.

Cedric Maxwell.

And don't get grandy compared with Brian Scalabrini.

They look the same.

So that's been happening a lot.

He's getting tossed out with the bathwater, you understand.

Cedric Maxwell, you just heard him.

He calls Celtics games.

You know, Larry would play defense.

I mean, Cedric Maxwell tells a great story when Larry was second team all defense.

And Maxwell said, Larry, why don't you guard Bernard King for a game? You know, Larry was great off the ball.

I mean, we all know that.

We got you guys for 60 minutes.

After that year, in 1983, not 84, it was going into Larry Bird's fifth season, he won the MVP of the league and the championship in a crazy battle against the Lakers.

So in the finals, they win 4-3 against the Lakers, continuing this theme of going up against Magic Johnson.

Cedric Maxwell is going to join us in just a moment.

No.

I know.

Oh, yeah.

Cedric's back, baby.

Cedric Maxwell, the Celtics color analyst on the 98.5 The Sports of Celtics radio network, picks out the songs that play before he comes on, and he has picked this.

Do you know this song, Jonathan? Yes, Outstanding, The Gap Band.

Jason Tatum wins it in overtime for the Celtics.

You know what the best part of that is? Is the color analyst on the radio is Cedric Maxwell, if I'm not mistaken, right? Correct, yes.

I remember, I think Johnny was doing middays at the time, and it was John, Sean, and Ray, and they had Cedric on.

They did.

And he was furious that the Celtics traded

The almighty Boonie, our censoring corrector, is weighing in.

The almighty Boonie.
