Cedric Maxwell
Nicknamed Cornbread, he is one of the fan favorites in Boston: He was a key member of two NBA Championship teams with the Boston Celtics
Maxwell's breakout moment came during the 1980–1981 NBA season when he played a pivotal role in the Celtics' championship run. That year, he was named the NBA Finals MVP, a testament to his clutch performances and leadership on the court. His ability to score efficiently and defend multiple positions made him a valuable asset to the Celtics, especially during their dominant run in the 1980s. Alongside legendary teammates like Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale, Maxwell helped establish the Celtics as one of the premier teams of the decade.
After several successful seasons with the Celtics, Maxwell was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers before the 1985–1986 season. He spent a season and a half with the Clippers before being traded to the Houston Rockets midway through the 1986–1987 season. Maxwell finished his NBA career with the Rockets, retiring after the 1987–1988 season. Over the course of his career, he scored more than 10,000 points and left a lasting legacy as a versatile forward who could impact the game in multiple ways.
Following his retirement from professional basketball, Maxwell transitioned into broadcasting, where he has continued to contribute to the sport. Since 2001, he has served as the color commentator for Celtics radio broadcasts, providing insightful analysis and commentary. In recognition of his contributions to the Celtics, the team retired his jersey number 31 in 2003, further solidifying his place in the franchise's storied history.
