"...without me Larry wasn't going to win a championship..." until he did. Cornbread was really good and one of the most under rated players but not 'Legend'ary.
There is only one Larry Bird. Geez, to call out Pete Maravich like that...nobody else would have the stones to even think of saying that. But like Magic said, Larry is a straight shooter. He'll tell you if he doesn't like you. And Magic wished he could have a little bit of that in his personality and Larry said he wished he could have some of Magic's outgoing personality.
Cornbread...rubber band man....just awesome on& off the court!!!
Yeah. But Larry also realized Pete didn't have much left in the tank at that time. He respected Pete's talent and place in the game as well. Albeit if it was earlier ( Pete's prime).
Cornbread’s Mt. Rushmore is crazy..
Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Tyson, Larry Bird.
Honorable mentions to:
Pele, Wilt, Steph, Tiger, Brady, Satchel Paige, and Ted Williams.
Excellent interview! You asked the right and hard questions!
Cedric was ok, but Larry was BETTER. STILL, Cornbread DID come thru in 81.
'' I played with Maxwell,I played with McHale,I played with Bird '' loooooooooool the way he puts his name among those greats haha 🤣
in fairness : 1st Round pick. 2 x Champ 1 x Finals MVP. Finals MVP means your great. He's easily HoF calibre.
He was a pretty darn good player. He won 2 rings with Boston in the 80s. He was finals MVP in one of the finals if I'm not mistaken.
@@ronniemiller3135 Then he became a pain in the ass and demanded superstar money. They gave it to him and he became a team cancer and faked injuries all year. They dumped him on the Clippers and got Bill Walton and became the greatest team ever. I was a major Celtics fan, but I loved to watch Charles Barkley eat his lunch and take his money. Can't stand him and his Anti-White rhetoric.
@@BeckettBoy First of all, Cornbread was good, but he is no MVP.
That award should have been Larry’s first of three, HE KNOWS IT…Larry knows it.
Instead the dude uses it as a mouthpiece platform to claim some sort of relevant status among the TRUE greats.
Bird is GOAT level…LEGEND,
And every one knows that, so to again double down talking KG is still better, AND THEN fronting the clout to hold your ground and not acknowledge that you disrespected Larry is next level douchbaggery.
Cedrick Maxwell is a 1x MVP and 2x Champion that without Bird would have nothing on his resume.
Max was just repeating what Chief told MJ during their "argument". Saw the podcast with Maxwell and Parish, and Chief himself actually did say those words.
My Mount Rushmore....
Tiger Woods
Larry Bird
Rocky Marciano
Hank Aaron
They were all feared just by stepping on the field or court, etc.
Top 5
Larry
Wilt
MJ
Magic
Kareem
Hank Aaron along with Bird are two of my all time heroes.
No one cares
Babe Ruth
Larry Bird
Bobby Orr'
Tom Brady
@@scottodonnell7121 no one cares
I care. Good lists
I ffiinngg love this show. Cornbread is the best
love maxwell... but he did not deserve the mvp over bird. .. thats just dumb... and he didnt make bird better... it was quite the opposite... if anything he kept bird down... bird is best starting at sf... but because of max they put bird at pf and mchale off the bench... larry was best at sf with mchale starting at pf
Great guest. Great interview.
Great interview love those old school Celtics
Cedrics number's don't even begin to tell the story of how good he was
I absolutely loved Cedric Maxwell! He was such a big game player.
This was a *great* interview.👍
Ced is a better podcaster than a ballplayer.
The Celtics were 29-53 when Maxwell was their best player.
Mvp of The Finals
Awesome interview. Not sure if Tiger, who is my favorite, is the greatest. Jack has more majors 😉
But he’s not a minority. Didn’t you recognize the pattern
Cornbread was a very good player period. He was clutch and an entertaining guy. He made Larry better and the Celtics do not win the title in 81’ without him.
Cornbread’s Mt. Rushmore is crazy..
Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Tyson, Larry Bird.
Honorable mentions to:
Pele, Wilt, Steph, Tiger, Brady, Satchel Paige, and Ted Williams.
What the hell are you smoking!
Chucklehead
Great interview! 🍀🏀
How about this for a starting 5.
Wilt in the middle
Hakeem and the dream shake at one forward.
Kevin McKale and the torture chamber at the other forward.
Bird as a big guard.
Magic as a point guard.
Holy $hit that would be fun to see.
sounds good without a doubt. But you're taking Hakeem before Jabbar?
Remember Kareem in his younger days? Kareem owned the court I think longer than anyone. I like your pick for the most part. I think Jabbar said it best, "There are too many Goats to pick just one...."
@@andybilakshow260 I wouldn't be upset with Kareem for sure.
@@andybilakshow260 The really cool thing is, if Kareem was on the team 4 out of 5 of the players would be VERY familiar with each other's game. And the fact that Bird and Magic are very unselfish players and make those around them better would be really fun to see. Most teams you would throw together like this would need to play with 5 basketballs. Not this team.
@@MIKESMITH-1967 Not bad choices either
All these Rushmore's you all Speak of are Irrelevant without WILT!
Cedric does a great podcast.
max was a bigtime player. Absolute clutch in the finals.
He didn't win anything until Larry Legend got on the team Fact
I can’t figure out why Max would say that without him Larry wouldn’t have won a championship? Max, please stop patting yourself on the back. Cool b’ball assassins and great friends, Larry & Magic were winners and kept their egos in check. Learn from them, Max.
McHale was also on those championship teams. So Max, you would have been replaced.
Maxwell was a great complimentary player. Look at how successful the Celtics were the year before Bird got there and Maxwell was the leading scorer.....the answer: they were terrible.
Thank u..
Larry took a 29 win team With maxwell on it and single-handedly turned it into a 61 win team without Dj mccale parish
The best version of that squad('86) had Walton, not Cornbread.
Wow..Max got a REALLY high opinion of himself. Putting himself at the same level as McHale and even Bird. Cmon Cornbread, u were definitely good but that's ridiculuos.
Robert Reid and Michael Cooper could handle the ball.
the ironic thing about the lakers and celtics is bird maxwell and magic nixon..... both teams drafted the future the yr before and replaced them with magic and bird in the same position the yr or 2 later.... what would have been different had the celtics drafted nixon and the lakers drafted maxwell? rather than have the player they would need to get rid of because of overlat?
Add Michael Schumacher in F1......no question the GOAT!
Update - after listening further... I'm kinda surprised but not surprised someone mentioned Schumi's name. And to hear cornbread being surprised by MS was kind of interesting in a good way.
The Spriggs story is funny!
My mount Rushmore... Bird, Khabib, Bolt, Maradona!
Hey Cornbread, after winning only 29 games in 78 maybe people were cheering Bird's arrival as just being Hope and not the Great WHITE Hope. Sorry but 19 pts and 10 rebounds a game don't count for much when your team loses 53 games...
Cedric Maxwell acts like he was good why is it you never won a championship until Larry Legend 🐐 got there I can tell you don't like Larry , magic and Larry Legend saved the NBA the Celtics were not any good until Larry Legend got there stop the hate for real you really talk like you were that guy you wasn't they never called you a legend fr
Facts
Cedric was the leading scorer for the Celtics before Bird's arrival. To his credit, he learned to blend in with Bird.
What you remember is Larry was levels beyond you. On a true Championship team, you'd be a 12 minute a game sub. If you're a MVP player, why'd they trade you for a broken down substitute center? Surely you asked yourself that question, but do you answer honestly?
yes. you have act -a-foul in ball among other infractions which are no longer infractions
How do you leave Tom Brady out of that mix.
'He's white' thats why . also max left jack .
Because Brady was of the Brady bunch!😅😂🤣
Max still don’t think Larry was better than him lol I respect his belief in himself.
So really Robert Parrish started the Jordan and Parrish situation.
I love Jordan. But kudos to Parish for taking care of matters.
Lol. Yeah. He beat Jordan's team. And told him about it. MJ's reaction, though, is all him.
Which is why MJ will never be the GOAT on my list...leadership matters. 😊
@@rustydaboyrobot MJ reaction was not it's all him. That's cap. But he was the leader. Parrish was never the leader in Boston. Chief had to realize there's levels.
@@rustydaboyrobot Parrish felt differently than Bird
@@underconstruction778 Lol. Parrish's take on it seems pretty good, and I think he's telling it like it was. It's not the EGO of the superstar...it's the bullying tactic of MJ with his own teammates he witnessed. He wouldn't have let Larry bully either...but Larry was never that poor of a leader. Instead, he led by example...and would call out players if they didnt meet his standards.. one that he held for himself.
Which, again, knocks MJ out of my GOAT....he's #3 instead.
Max was not good when i watching him with larry he always thought and brings up all these black people he never brings up white players at all larry bird make him better which he was not good.
max was always jealous of bird thats the truth Bird was one of the greatest players ever - i actually put him at 2-5 behind the goat MJ
What i don't like about that interview why he even talking shit about football if it's clear he don't know anything about it. On average football player run 10+km a game and top teams played 2 games a week during 9 month. It's crazy. And if you want to compare physicality of sports watch random football game and pay attention to corners kicks. Mb back in a days you can compare football with NBA, but not now.
most footballers run more than6 or 7 miles if not more
Much too long! Corn bread is a great interview but his career isn’t that interesting.
DJ was better than Maxwell
DJ was better than a whole lot oi people. He was very under rated. Larry loved him and so did I.
