The '86 Celtics Interviews (Ep. 13): Cedric Maxwell
Listen now
Description
Cedric Maxwell, current radio analyst for the Celtics, was named MVP of the 1981 NBA Finals and won a second title with the Celtics in 1984. He scored 24 points against the Lakers in Game 7 of the ’84 Finals, after famously telling his teammates to “climb on my back, boys.” Max missed time the following season due to injury, and the Celtics lost in an NBA Finals rematch with the hated Lakers. He was then traded with a draft pick to the Los Angeles Clippers for Bill Walton. In Maxwell’s conversation with CSN producer Jim Aberdale and director Torey Champagne, we begin with the 1984 Finals win over the Lakers, and work up to Max forging a peace treaty with Red Auerbach.
