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 career with the Boston Celtics was highlighted by his contributions to two NBA championships. In the 1980–1981 season, he was instrumental in the Celtics' title run, earning the NBA Finals MVP award for his outstanding performance. His ability to score in the post, combined with his defensive prowess, made him a key player alongside Celtics legends like Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale. Maxwell's unselfish play and leadership helped solidify the Celtics as one of the dominant teams of the 1980s.
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 with over 10,000 points scored. His contributions to the game were recognized when the Boston Celtics retired his jersey number 31 in 2003, a testament to his lasting legacy with the franchise.
Following his retirement from playing, Maxwell transitioned into broadcasting, where he has served as the color commentator for Celtics radio broadcasts since 2001. His deep knowledge of the game and engaging personality have made him a beloved figure in the Celtics community. Maxwell also briefly coached in the United States Basketball League, further showcasing his passion for the sport. Today, he remains an influential voice in basketball, both as a broadcaster and as a former player whose contributions to the game are still celebrated.
