#Celtics Legends Reunite: Kevin McHale and Cornbread | Cedric Maxwell Podcast.

[@Balraj.G.]

Remember watching these guys as a little kid, 80s and 90s basketball 🏀 was on another level.. Kevin Mchale had some amazing footwork. Cedric ✊🏽✊🏽 for getting these 0G hoopers on your podcast!! 🙏🏽

[@NBAHistoryCLNS]

Larry is coming soon.

[@smittyboy13]

@@NBAHistoryCLNS I hope so. But from what Max has says there is still a bit of a riff between him & Bird. He's said many times he's still trying to straighten it out. #40yearCeltsfan

[@Balraj.G.]

@CLNS NBA Legends Vault Keep bringing these guys out of hiding OG, little media tip if it helps people love to hear the locker room stories and reasons why certain things happened the way they did, example; pivotal moments in your big games, why certain decisions or plays were made. Salute Cedric. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@NBAHistoryCLNS]

@@smittyboy13 there’s no “riff” between Larry and max lol. They spoke extensively during the bubble and text frequently. This is a man made rumor based on the (very few) instances Larry or max have said anything publicly about each other that wasn’t 100% positive. Max and Bird were champions together, teammates. Did they see life the same way? Absolutely not but they both saw winning the same way. In 2 weeks we celebrate the 40 yr anniversary of birds first title and Max finals MVP. I’m hearing some “rumors” of a reunion of sorts... 🤔 😉

[@mokeski2196]

One of the greatest players of all time. But one of the best human beings I've ever been acquainted with, Kevin Herman Mchale.

[@charlesdavis7461]

Darn, you took the words out of my mouth.

[@jpkaneshida5075]

Even when he clotheslined Rambis?

[@rubytuesday9539]

Just looked back to see that Max was on the team with Havlechek. Cedric's first year and John's last year. Man, that's some legacy history right there.

[@NBAHistoryCLNS]

Max was coached by: Tommy heinsohn Satch Cowens Fitch KC Played with: Larry bird Kevin McHale Robert parish Tiny Archibald Bob McAdoo Earnie D. Pistol Pete Don Chaney Hakeem Olajuwon Ralph Sampson Norm Nixon Infamous Rowe and Wicks Signed by Red Auerbach. Now that Tommy is gone (RIP) max is the only legend left active w franchise. Crazy.

[@mikecushing7276]

Cedric was amazingly underrated

[@fredball8240]

I know right? Astonishing

[@samfranks9468]

As a 76ers fan I hated y'all but grew to have so much respect for y'all!!

[@jpecci4832]

Philly was a bitter rival, but I have to admit Great Fans. Same with the fans of they Flyers.

[@tjpless7660]

Easiest interview Max ever did. Kevin is a tsunami of commentary 🌊😂

[@therealbs2000]

You know cornbread had the day off that day lol

[@byronpaisleysr4151]

As a kid in the early 80’s it was nothing like watching all those greats play that was a special era. I still watch those old games and get excited

[@byronpaisleysr4151]

Kevin McCail is so underrated his foot work was incredible he got buckets.

[@muskegontribune]

I was a die-hard Detroit Bad Boys Pistons fan and the one player we could not stop was Kevin McHale. This guy was unstoppable in the paint with those long arms tipping the ball in, that jump hook or turn-around jumper. One of the best players of that era by far and one of the all-time greats.

[@FocalPointPhotographyLLC]

Man...that was a lot of fun. McHale is my all-time fav player and the one who got me hooked on buckets. And Maxwell is just a great guy. I could listen to these guys for hours...

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

Max is such a nice guy .

[@kevinfraser573]

Greatest interview I've ever seen and heard. Max was a great player. I was lucky enough to get season tickets one year before Larry. In those days Max was an all star and one of my favorite players. Love Kevin too! Todays players suck compared to these boys!

[@JohnnyBallgame88]

Man that’s awesome! What a great show. Two legends.

[@TheCream14]

Kevin McHale was one of my all time favorite players. Great guy and very nice!

[@fredball8240]

Loved those Celtic years where these guys' careers overlapped. McHale and Maxwell both had the longest limbs and both had excellent body control in the paint. Just difficult guys to guard.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

It is so interesting to listen to you guys. All my respect. I remember listening to several videos where everyone was saying the team talked all the time and the McHale was one of the best.

[@doseloverstar1183]

Those Celtics were tough as were the Lakers Philly and the Pistons. Real Basketball during and through out the 80's

[@lakerraider100]

As A life long Laker fan who at 11 years old cried with my 13 year old brother as we watched the end of game 7 in 84 I can honestly say that is the best NBA FINALS I have ever seen. It hurts to say that. We got payback in 85 and 87 but to win in 84 would have been the sweetest. Ugh still hurts to this day!

[@davidbarton1806]

As a celtics fan that's how I fell about 85!! And that's the year I was born And it would be a three-peat

[@alanfinney8065]

People forget Max was MVP in 81 and they wouldn’t of won without him and Tiny

[@alanfinney8065]

I’m glad Tiny got that ring he was a great guard lead league in scoring and assist in same year nobody has ever done that

[@alanfinney8065]

And probably never will

[@juniorjohnson9509]

Those of you who didn't live in or near Boston at the time have no idea just how much the Celtics meant to everyone there, right in the middle of all the crap that was going on financially and racially, The team literally carried the spirit of the working classs of eastern Massachusetts on their shoulders.

[@classicrockbeagle]

Cornbread, I gotta say, I'm loving your podcasts! you are so good at initiating conversations. BTW Max, 1984 vs. Lakers or 1981 vs. Philly. Which was the better series? I'd love to get your take

[@smittyboy13]

These are great. Thank you.

[@gregoryphillips3969]

One of the best interviews of all time. Thank you.

[@DSJonesWriter]

Those 80' celtics teams where so good and so special no matter how much success we have had in Boston and being able to see all four teams win and win championships is awesome but man I😮 teams I was little and when I did watch them I didn't get it yet but just wanted to say thank you guys for the memories and God bless and hopefully we can have a d espiode about the next banner for the celtics ☘️

[@addieandleesfunplayaddiean7325]

Another Super Podcast, Cedric!!!!!

[@kevinfraser573]

Best game comeback was against Philly ECF 1981 down 3 games to 1 , down 9 with 2 minutes left Celtics outscored them 11-1 on a weds night. Friday game 6 was in Philly. After this amazing comeback that fans started chanting "SEE YOU SUNDAY" , "SEE YOU SUNDAY", "SEE YOU SUNDAY" Sure enough the team won game 6 in Philly and won game 7 back in Boston , series 4-3. Won the championship vs Houston. Great memories.

[@eyesalooking]

This was so much fun to watch and I missed out on watching the NBA in the '80s when basketball was a team sport.

[@TheSands83]

Damn I love these interviews idk how I missed these . Perfect thing for me old basketball talk love it

[@rbcroper]

Thank you guys I loved watching you. I miss fundamentally sound basketball with no traveling, team ball, and no carrying while dribbling

[@patriciaotoole5930]

Bird didn't do it alone some team

[@abc-bu7nr]

No player ever does it on their own. Some are just a cut above and every player in the league knows it.

[@armandorodriguez6447]

All them years of good basketball made my upcoming pretty good. Growing up in CT I couldn’t miss a game. Couldn’t get to the Garden but I did make it to the Hartford Civic Center. These generations have no idea how good it was. Thanks for all them memories. Go Celtics on game 3 tonight at HOME,bring on them lil warriors boys

Max had great hands. Unexpected passes to Parish, Mchale, were 50/50. Max clawed that ball.

[@bjspinks5735]

You Celtic guys was its Thorn in the finger to me as a sixers fan. Kevin McHale was hard to guard in the post

[@tarnopol]

That’s crazy that McHale never blocked Chief’s jumper in twelve years of practice.

[@dmobley002]

Loved this interview. I laughed when McHale said that he and Maxwell always said let me guard the hot player. I remember the year that Bernard King with the Knicks was unstoppable. I believe he scored 50 points in the game the Knicks played before they were facing the Celtics at Madison Square Garden. Cedric Maxwell made all the NY papers saying the B won't score 50 on us. He was right, King scored 60 against the Celtics in that game. Keep these interviews coming. Great memories.

[@MrGMillet]

Bernard never scored 60 pts in any game that series

[@dmobley002]

@@MrGMillet Thank you. I stand corrected. You're right, the 60 points were against the Nets. I believe he put in 44pts against them. 😊

I always thought KG overpassed and could have legit been one of those elite scorers. He could have averaged 35 ppg in his prime with that unblockable shot and athleticism.

[@kentjax3622]

Maxwell had a few moments, but couldn’t tie birds shoes. Bird was the GOAT. If you want to know how great cornbread was, just ask him and he will tell you.

[@NBAHistoryCLNS]

That couldn’t be further from the truth. Unsure why this Red made rumor still exists. Was there tension between Larry and Max? No. They just didn’t chill 24/7, they played ball together and won titles together. “Just ask him?” Max is first to say he doesn’t belong in HOF (even though he most def does), he has also said over and over that had the trade talks not been so defaming to his character, and an option exists, he’d have swapped spots with McHale and went to 6th man. Can you imagine? Walton one of the most Over blown trades in history. Max played til 1990, Walton played just 82(+/-) games in 3 years on the books w Celtics. Bias died. Bird/McHale forced to log 40+++ mins per game in 87, 88, 91. Had max been there, would the Celtics have won in 87? Could they all have played a season or two longer? Probably. Serious question bc I’ve seen u make this comment before about “max will tell ya how good he was...” do u even watch these segments? If anyone had an idea that max was so salty and jealous, then why does McHale, Parish, Tiny, McAdoo, Henderson, ML, Cowens, Tommy, Carlisle, all say otherwise. This interview w McHale is just proof of how happy max was for Kevin’s growth and how much he helped him grow. So ur claims are absolutely antiquated and have since been proven wrong.

[@kentjax3622]

@@mvoulgaropoulos I agree; however, greatness is not about a moment, it’s about a period of time and Bird did what Max could only do in a fleeting moment in his whole entire career with skill snd confidence Bird lead the team so long and with such authority the Celtics and all other great players marveled at him when he played as if they were mere spectators in the stands.

[@itsmeitstrue]

@@kentjax3622 couldnt agree more. Walton was more a novelty out there than anything else. Its obvious the players loved Bill hes one of a kind n helped galvanize the team, but cornbread could play the 3/4 and was capable of carrying the team from time to time
