Transcript

00:00The Cedric Maxwell podcast is brought to you by Price Picks and the Game Time app.

00:16All right.

00:17We're back with another episode of the Cedric Maxwell podcast.

00:19I'm Josue Pavone alongside Cedric Maxwell.

00:22We got to talk about this first week for the Boston Celtics, man.

00:25They went 2-0, but the ring ceremony at TV Garden where they raised the 18th banner on

00:31opening night.

00:32You got to give me all the details, Max.

00:33Of course, we'll talk about that and we'll get your point of view of it.

00:37And also what happened in that game.

00:39It tied the NBA record for the most three-pointers in a single game, 29 threes.

00:44Is this going to be sort of an ongoing talking point throughout the course of the regular

00:49season?

00:50We'll get into that as well.

00:51And finally, just the who's who's of people who pulled up to the Celtics ring ceremony,

00:58including Bob Cousy.

01:00So you know what?

01:01Let's start right there, Max, because you, of course, were part of that ceremony representing

01:05just the 80s Celtics.

01:09It's hard to believe that it's only been one other banner.

01:14Before Monday night, there was the 2008 championship and then before that, it's the 80s, right?

01:20And of course, you being the representative of that decade.

01:24But how special was it to see Bob Cousy back in the building, man?

01:30I thought that that was the best part of the whole thing, if you ask me.

01:32Cousy was cool.

01:33It was really cool seeing that.

01:34It was just really kind of weird.

01:36It went out on the floor like that with the peace sign like Dick Nixon.

01:39I was like, damn, Cousy, you're going like that?

01:43And he was in a wheelchair, but so cognizant.

01:47You think the body probably is failing him a little bit, but mentally, it was just as

01:51sharp as it could be.

01:53Talked to me for a minute, then Paul came in and Ray came in and Kevin was there.

01:58So you had these dignitaries and a bunch of Celtic players were there and it was just

02:04a real cool thing.

02:05And they introduced us all before the game and we walked out on the floor and then we

02:10took a picture with the Tatum and Brown and Horford.

02:15Those three were kind of representing the team.

02:17So it was just a really cool moment.

02:19It was surreal.

02:21And to be in the middle of it, it was somebody asked me yesterday, Abby Chin asked me the

02:26other day, Max, how was that?

02:28I said, you know, I didn't even think about it until it was after it was over of just

02:34walking out on the floor with a packed house.

02:38People wanted to sign autographs and wanting their moment.

02:45And then to see Tatum receive it and Brown and Horford, those guys represent.

02:50And then to actually get the rings, man, that was a cool moment.

02:53Those rings were like just the way they were.

02:56They were like this.

02:57I mean, they go on your finger like this, this is how big they were.

03:03It was just a crazy night of first and then to play the Knicks.

03:08It was again, who's supposed to be your top opponent and they slayed the Knicks.

03:15They played so well.

03:16Yeah, Knicks weren't ready for that, man.

03:19They weren't ready for all that.

03:20I mean, look, even going into this game, there were obviously going to be people saying,

03:24oh, the ceremony and the emotions could really disrupt this team and you never know what

03:27could happen.

03:28And no, not these guys, Max, not these guys.

03:31It was like they were motivated from that.

03:33You had Bob Cousy there who led the Southerners to their very first championship.

03:38It was almost as if like, okay, we were solidified, one, obviously because the championship is

03:42up there to let the world know.

03:44But two, if you guys think this thing was a fluke last year, you're about to find out

03:48right now.

03:49And they wasted no time demolishing the New York Knicks.

03:53The curtain was up.

03:54The curtain was pulled up and the actors and the actresses and everybody was there.

04:01The people in the front row, I think just to get in the building, the lower bowl was

04:08maybe 1,500 to $2,000 seats were in the building.

04:13And so it was just so much excitement.

04:16And then to actually to have the ring ceremony, but then to pull the banner up.

04:23And then at the end, when they were talking to Tatum, Tatum comes through at the end,

04:27he says a few things.

04:29And it's like his teammates will go in the morning.

04:32And then his last statement was, let's do it again.

04:35Yes.

04:36Damn.

04:37Okay.

04:38And everybody got pumped up that much more.

04:42And the odd thing about it was you go through all that and then you have to play the game.

04:48And the Southerners played as well as could be to win.

04:53And then win convincingly.

04:55The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact they had 29 threes.

05:00Now I want to get into that.

05:03They missed the last 13 attempts trying to get the 30.

05:07And I was one of the few people in there hoping they didn't do it.

05:11Because I don't mind the fact that if they're going to do it, just generically, every time

05:19Sean would be, and there's a three in for the, and then Peyton, and it was just like,

05:27and these people had, they were driven by social media because they knew.

05:32And every time the guys lined up, they were just going crazy.

05:36So when the final, every time they missed, I was like, yes, yes, yes.

05:41And then at the end, but if it happened generically, I would have been cool.

05:46For the season opener, right?

05:48We always do this every single year.

05:49We do our bold predictions, right?

05:51And there's always a few of them that you throw in there.

05:53Some of them are bold, some of them not so much.

05:55And for me, the ones that I posted that wasn't so bold, I predicted the Southerners would

05:59not only shatter the record for most threes attempted, which I think the Southerners could

06:05get over a 70 in this one.

06:08But I didn't even think about them being the record to, I mean, for them tying the record

06:13or topping the record for most threes made in a game, not because I think that they can't

06:18do it, but I just think it's way more, it's going to be a lot more criticism when they

06:24have one of those games where they're not falling.

06:25You get what I'm saying?

06:26Because when you have this formula and when you're playing a team that, let's say, I don't

06:31know, Pistons or maybe one of those bottom feeding teams or whatever.

06:33I mean, that wasn't the case Saturday, but sometimes they don't go out there and cover

06:37the three the way they should.

06:38And sometimes it's something that's going to be like, okay, you're going to give us

06:40these looks, but we're going to keep taking them.

06:41But even if they don't fall, that's Joe Mizzou's mentality, right?

06:45You're not supposed to give up those good looks.

06:47He doesn't care if they're not falling.

06:48But even Joe had to say, all right, guys, enough is enough, man.

06:51We're not going to just keep missing threes out here in this fourth quarter.

06:53The hell with the record.

06:54We won the game.

06:55But I'm glad he did that.

06:55No, no, he really didn't.

06:57He really didn't.

06:58You didn't do that?

06:59The last, I think the last 24 seconds, that's when he finally called the dogs up and just

07:07held the basketball.

07:08So I don't think he called it off.

07:11I mean, they were reaching for it and they did what they needed to do.

07:14And this team is, teams are going to have to catch up, have to catch up from the three

07:20point line.

07:21And it's going to be really interesting to see how they do it.

07:26The Knicks weren't prepared the other day.

07:28Karl-Anthony Towns was, he's going to have to come out and guard Al Horford.

07:33I'm not sure how many good looks the Celtics had in that game.

07:41I think it was Josh Hart at the end when the reporters came over to him.

07:46He said, yo man, Celtics need to be drug tested.

07:51I ain't never seen that like that before.

07:53I thought somebody was exaggerating when they told me that.

07:56Come to find out, he did actually say that verbatim.

07:58Yeah, he did say that.

07:59And then he said the NC County joke.

08:01Then Rick Mahorn was the same way.

08:04I said the same.

08:05I saw him at Detroit last night and the Celtics got three point happy.

08:10They knocked down a bunch of three pointers and then Detroit kind of battled their way

08:16back in.

08:16They took the lead at the end and their experience paid off and they won.

08:22But this is a Celtic team that's going to be shorthanded for a minute.

08:27Porzingis reports on him right now.

08:30He's right now playing some one-on-one.

08:32He's already started that.

08:33If you watch him out there before the game, he's out shooting threes and moving well.

08:39He's really moving well.

08:40So they're going to be cautious and optimistic.

08:44But the sooner he comes back, the better.

08:47The full Monty of this team is going to, and I think it's going to be probably around Christmas,

08:54probably at the time they're going to unveil Porzingis again.

08:57I think that'll be the case.

08:59Yeah, I would like to see that, Max, because I don't, I mean, one, I don't think they're

09:02going to try to rush the situation, right?

09:04So I mean, that's obvious, right?

09:06It's kind of stating the obvious there.

09:07But two, like, I don't think even if he's to beat the schedule that they should do that,

09:13you know, because you don't really need to put them out there.

09:15I mean, it's all about the postseason with this, not only this team, but with Porzingis

09:21in particular, because I mean, it's easy to forget.

09:23The guy played, what, three playoff games last season?

09:26You know, I mean, fortunately for the Celtics and their depth, they were able to win without

09:29it.

09:29And I love how the rest of the talking heads on national media, they love to mention the

09:35fact that the other teams that the Celtics faced were shorthanded, but they very rarely

09:39mentioned the fact that there was no Porzingis.

09:41You know what I mean?

09:42Like, that's a big part of this.

09:44Don't let, how about this?

09:45Don't let the facts get in the way.

09:47Don't let that happen, especially if they don't fit the narrative.

09:51If they don't fit the narrative.

09:52If they were a team right now that wasn't playing, you know, they didn't play the toughest

09:56teams out there.

09:57Well, you know, here's the thing, which is not right.

10:01The fact they played the toughest team, they had the best record in the league.

10:05By almost eight or nine games.

10:07So that told you how well this team was played.

10:11It was just what they were going to do in the playoffs.

10:13That's what really counted.

10:15And they were able to, you know, get that chip, get it out their back.

10:19And, and, you know, this is, this, this is, this team right now is playing well.

10:23So I'm going to love to see how they continue to kind of, you know, play.

10:29Joe Mazula mentioned Sam Hauser being out for a couple of games.

10:34That's changed the rotation and how things are done.

10:36So he feels he loves to have Hauser back in, but there's going to be, you know,

10:41there's going to be lineup changes.

10:43Derek White made a huge block last night in the game.

10:47Same Derek White, still playing that kind of defense.

10:50Drew Holliday playing from this point of attack, Taylor and Brown.

10:54So just kind of fun thing when you think about how this team is.

10:58I love how Derek White's still playing as if he's got to, you know what I mean?

11:01Like, like stick around.

11:02He's got to prove himself or something.

11:03I love that.

11:04Like that's the approach.

11:05Yeah.

11:05Brand new contract, nice extension, but he just steps his game up more, you know?

11:09And that's the reason why you, you have to make sure these guys are gonna stick

11:12around for the foreseeable future and why it's so crazy to think that a lot of these

11:16guys are entering their prime after they win the championship.

11:18And of course that also includes Jason Tatum.

11:21What are you seeing out of Tatum right now?

11:23That's, that's leading to this, not only efficient of a couple of efficient performances,

11:29but dominating stretches, especially against the Knicks.

11:32The word I say was relaxed.

11:34Okay.

11:35So early.

11:35It's like, you know, the pressure of trying to win a championship now is off his back.

11:41They've done that.

11:42So I would not be surprised at all.

11:45This isn't a bold prediction, but Jason Taylor is probably going to be the player of the week.

11:50He started out these first couple of games, man, on fire, knocking down shots.

11:54Last night's game, um, uh, Pritchard and I think it was Pritchard and Horford.

12:01I had a bunch of points in that game early in the game, knocking down threes.

12:06Uh, the truck wasn't able to catch up.

12:08And then the truck got, uh, feisty at home and they got back into Cape Cunningham and,

12:13uh, his crew, Jayden Ivey, uh, they were really good.

12:16But, uh, the experience of the world champions came through again.

13:38Absolutely, man.

13:39I can't wait to see how this whole season unfolds.

13:41It's just getting started and you know,

13:43you kind of alluded to it in the beginning about the three-point shooting.

13:46Do you think there's going to be teams out there trying to replicate

13:48what I saw they're doing right now?

13:49Yeah, it's a copycat league, Joe Sweat.

13:53Not every team has the weapons.

13:54It's a copycat league.

13:56Teams will do that.

13:57You think about this.

13:59If you play Dallas right now with Klay Thompson being on the floor,

14:04doesn't it change what they do as a team when it comes to shooting the basketball?

14:09They're going to get up more threes than they've gotten up before

14:12because they have that other three-point shooter.

14:15Well, people try to duplicate it.

14:18Some teams aren't going to be able to do that because they just don't have the firepower.

14:23If you're one of those top, top, top teams,

14:26I think that you're going to try to do something.

14:29I was a little surprised that Giannis and his team got beat the other day kind of handily.

14:38The early in the season, obviously only three games, small sample size,

14:42but one of these things where this team, they're the world champions right now.

14:49Until somebody takes that away from them, then you got some big games.

14:55The OKC Thunder looked pretty good on the other side over there.

14:59Denver got spanked a couple of times,

15:03but then the Lakers have jumped out the box and won some games.

15:08So the NBA is alive and well.

15:13I'm sure you thoroughly appreciated that LeBron and Bronny James moment,

15:17got to check in together for the first time.

15:19I'm ready to get it over with, Josue.

15:21I just want to make me barf.

15:23I appreciate what LeBron James has done for this league,

15:28and I appreciate the fact that his son played with him.

15:31It's a stellar moment in NBA basketball history.

15:36He could be around that long to make that happen.

15:41I think about guys I played with.

15:44Their sons come after them, and they're now in the league.

15:48Gerald Henderson's son came in after he did and played in the league for a while,

15:53but I couldn't imagine Gerald Henderson staying in the league that long

15:57that his son would be able to come in and play.

16:01That's what's so unique about this situation with LeBron.

16:04How many guys are going to be playing 20 plus years

16:08and still probably be at the top of their game?

16:11If you're J.J. Reddick, do you go into the season thinking,

16:14okay, when am I going to do this?

16:16Instead of, should I do this?

16:18No, just doing it, getting it over with.

16:20That's what I think.

16:21And that's what he did.

16:22He did the right thing.

16:23He got it over with.

16:24Someone let the circus get out the way.

16:27That's done already.

16:30Ken Griffey Jr., Ken Griffey Sr., they were at the game.

16:35You know, the baseball players and who their father and son played together.

16:39So it was a unique moment in history, in the NBA history,

16:43when that happened with LeBron James and his son.

16:47Now, here's the crazy thing.

16:50You're starting to hear a lot right now about Bryce, Bryce Flynn.

16:56Well, you know, will he be the next person that will come in?

17:00LeBron James, a younger son.

17:04Will he be a guy that comes in now?

17:06That would be crazy.

17:07Max, the youngest is the one that's like a sponge, man.

17:10He's absorbing, okay, don't do that.

17:11Okay, but yes, do this.

17:13Like, not to say because I'm the baby of my family,

17:16but I mean, there's an advantage, right?

17:18And you can sort of make sure you don't make the same mistakes.

17:20And you never know, three, four years from now,

17:22depending on how he decides to approach it,

17:24because most likely he's not going to be trying to play with his dad.

17:27Maybe he takes the right route and does a couple more years of college

17:31instead of the way his brother did it.

17:32So are you trying to say that, you know,

17:34those ass whoopings that your brother Joel took, you didn't take those?

17:45Well walked, so Josue could run.

17:47Max, okay, I had to make sure I didn't make those same mistakes now.

17:51It's one way to put it, but okay, all right, Max.

17:55I guess that's what I'm trying to say.

17:56I just think he doesn't have that pressure of,

17:58oh, I got to make sure I catch up to play alongside my dad, you know?

18:03But the pressure is going to be on him,

18:06because now you're going to be compared to your brother.

18:08Your father's in the league.

18:09You know, what's the next natural step?

18:12I've heard people talking about LeBron, about Bronny,

18:15you know, what he was able to do.

18:16But now I'm starting to hear people talk about Bryce.

18:19Oh, Bryce is a better player.

18:20Bryce could do this.

18:21Bryce could do that.

18:22He's taller.

18:22He's bigger.

18:23He's faster.

18:24So who knows what this LeBron James legacy will do when it comes to the NBA?

18:31It didn't happen with Michael Jordan's kid.

18:34Didn't happen.

18:36You know, Kobe Bryant had Gigi was this fantastic girl that she played.

18:42And so it didn't happen there.

18:44You know, nobody else's son has come in.

18:46So it's unique in its own way.

18:50Yeah, but you think Michael would have been the one pulling strings or trying to get,

18:53you know what I mean?

18:54Let's say hypothetically, even if he was still in the league at the time,

18:56like, I think he knew enough out of, you know, what he saw from his son.

19:00I want to say he averaged, what, six points his senior year or so.

19:03Played all four years.

19:04I mean, just wasn't an NBA player.

19:06I just think with this situation, the best thing for the team and everyone involved is

19:10just to make sure he goes to the G League, man.

19:12Let him get his reps in.

19:13Do not force this.

19:14Look, fortunately you haven't cracked it up, Max, because you got Cameron Redding.

19:18You got guys on the bench being like, he's playing over me?

19:23Magic said that.

19:25Magic said exactly that.

19:27It's like his best thing would be to go to the G League.

19:30And Bronny snapped back and said, yo, my man, sit back and let the process continue.

19:38You know, you don't know what me and my dad, we worked on.

19:41So you're talking to one of the greatest Lakers ever to play the game or one of the

19:45greatest players to ever play the game, and you're telling him to sit back and chill.

19:49So kind of interesting.

19:52Very, man.

19:53You think, I don't know, man.

19:55I don't want to get ahead of myself.

19:56But it's not like that boy don't respect his elders, man.

19:58Don't respect the legends.

20:00You know, he'll get, look, how is he going to do that?

20:04And Joe Swaye got to respect the legends.

20:06His dad is one of them.

20:08So I don't think that's no better than doing commercials.

20:11And I think LeBron had this commercial where he put these fruity pebbles or something in

20:16his car.

20:17And then he drives by LeBron is going to the game and a dog on Maybach.

20:24And, you know, he was in the backseat.

20:27It is Hollywood at its best.

20:31So let it keep going there.

20:34We'll see how it goes.

20:35Yeah, man.

20:35Pass me the popcorn for sure.

20:37I like the end of that commercial, though, when he goes, Bryce, where your keys at?

20:40I'm taking your car.

20:42That was good.

20:43It's a special moment, man.

20:44But like you said, I just don't I don't know how this thing plays out.

20:48We're at the end of the season.

20:50We're like, OK, the Lakers did the absolutely right thing.

20:52You know what I mean?

20:53I don't know.

20:53I just don't think that that happens.

20:56You can't force that.

20:57It has to happen organically.

20:58It will happen when it happens.

21:01And you'll get a chance to see it.

21:03And everybody.

21:04Here's the thing about it.

21:05Everybody is going to unveil itself in front of everyone.

21:10We're going to get a chance to see it up close and personal because in today's NBA, it can't

21:15hide.

21:16I think they were doing a special today and it was talking about the captain.

21:22And when I say the captain, people think about jerk, jerk, Jeter, Jeter and what he

21:28was able to do.

21:29And he said, but Jeter said, man, the cell phones had been around.

21:33He said my career would have been a lot shorter because it showed him three or four pictures

21:37him with P. Diddy hanging out with him and doing this and doing that.

21:42And so, yeah, that would have been that.

21:46That could have been a whole nother moment.

21:47But cell phones have changed the way, you know, athletes are going to be judged and

21:53how they're going to be viewed because everybody is a reporter these days.

21:59That's what you mentioned that the first thing that crossed my mind when you said that about

22:01Jeter is how I don't know if this is true or not, but legend has it when he would have

22:07somebody over or a date or someone like that, some kind of that kind of situation, the woman

22:12had to drop her phone into a basket the moment she steps into the house.

22:16So I believe that quote from Jeter, man, because maybe it was something that you can

22:20drop.

22:21You can drop your phone in the basket, but just where you can put all kind of devices

22:25on yourself.

22:26Now, if you read about this is like years ago, Max, but if you really want to have that,

22:32you get a little button on your jacket or broach or whatever it is, man, that that's

22:37reducing all kind of information.

22:39He was in.

22:39He was in a great time.

22:41That's what we'll say about Derek Jeter.

22:44He was in the last of the innocence was there during that time when you kind of do different

22:50things and get away with it.

22:53Now, do you remember ESPN?

22:54They did a lineup of his ex-girlfriends.

22:57That was wild.

23:02What do you feel a lineup where they find?

23:06Oh, yeah.

23:08One of them is I can't remember a lot of them, but this is probably 20 years or 15 years

23:13ago or so.

23:14But yeah, he was back then.

23:16They were all the girls.

23:18It was the king.

23:19He was the king of New York.

23:20Yeah, New York.

23:22I mean, you could talk about any other athlete.

23:24I can't think of any other athlete.

23:28What do we think of any other athletes in New York history that we think about that

23:34was like Jeter?

23:36You know, you can think about football players, great football players.

23:40I'm thinking like the Manny's weren't like that.

23:43They weren't like that.

23:45Basketball players.

23:46I remember Patrick Ewing.

23:47He was that, you know, he was the stature of him, but he wasn't rolling over New York

23:53like that.

23:54It was Derek Jeter and the fact that they won multiple championships.

23:58I think that was the thing.

23:59That's the real difference in who he was and what he did and how he rolled in New York

24:05City.

24:06Right, right.

24:07I mean, I mean, never has to buy a drink or a meal ever.

24:10He's the captain for sure.

24:12And we'll see what happens in game two, man.

24:14Our boy Ice Cube got things started with a little performance before game two at Dodger

24:19Stadium.

24:20Shout out to Ice Cube.

24:21That's a special moment, man, to be performing before a World Series in Dodger Stadium.

24:26Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

24:31We've seen it before.

24:32I know you don't like baseball like that, but LA.

24:34All I could think about when he walked out on the field was, you know, the day that you

24:38saw me walk up on him in the garden and, you know, the way he was kind of looking around

24:43and he saw me, he said, oh, motherfucking cornbread.

24:48I said, damn, that's the way you greet a brother.

24:51So yeah, it was, it was a cool moment.

24:54It's a real moment.

24:55So I was happy for the brother, man, that it happened like that.

24:58I'll be honest, there is nothing like taking in a live basketball game, especially in the

25:03fourth quarter, down the stretch, being in that atmosphere and seeing it all play out

25:07right in front of you.

25:08There is nothing like it.

25:09And with the basketball season back, there is no other place better than game time that

25:14doesn't just have you covered for sports, but any type of concert or other events going

26:20And finally, Max, Paul Pierce, alongside KG, talked about the special night in Boston,

26:24talked about you seeing other legends, but named you specifically and how these type

26:30of stuff, like it never gets old for these guys to go back to Boston.

26:33Of course, Kevin Garnett doesn't go as regularly as Paul has, at least over the past couple

26:37of years.

26:37But I just, I can't say enough about how great it was to see him or both of those guys with

26:44Ray again, man.

26:45Look, I know the first time we saw it was at Garnett's, you know, retirement, when he

26:50retired his jersey, which was obviously a very special moment because we hadn't seen

26:53those three together since they wanted, you know, since the trade essentially, right.

26:56And with all the beef and all that going on.

26:58But I think maybe because of that, it kind of took a little bit away from just how surreal

27:02that moment was.

27:03But for me, it never gets old to see the three of those guys together.

27:06And I hope that happens again.

27:07Yeah, that was, that was a real cool moment.

27:09Only thing would have been just as cool for me were if some of my ex-teammates had been

27:15there, like, you know, dare say Larry Bird comes back in the building, you know, one

27:21time or Kevin McHale.

27:23Right.

27:23You know, and that's that those were the guys I was, I was representing during the 80s.

27:28So it was, it's kind of just a real cool moment to be in that, that, that line and to see

27:35Ray and, you know, see Kevin working out still looks slim, like he could play tomorrow.

27:43Ray still looks slim now.

27:44Paul, Paul's ate a little food.

27:46Your boy, Paul, he even ate a little couple of hamburgers or so.

27:51He's enjoying himself.

27:52Even now, Paul Pierce looks like he's lost a little weight.

27:55So he really looked good.

27:56And it was, it was kind of fun seeing those guys.

27:58And, and the fans just got the hugest kick.

28:02Koozie came out first, they were in a wheelchair.

28:06I was next.

28:08And then I don't, I just heard the ovation behind me.

28:12And I'm not sure if Ray came out next and then it was maybe Paul and then Ticket came

28:19out and just, you know, the, the place just went, the place was just going ballistic.

28:24And, and to, to be out there among those guys was just really cool.

28:30All right, man, before we get up out of here, man, I got to ask you, because this is something

28:33that we, we talked about maybe the first, like back to episode, we first started this

28:38podcast, you know, and it's something that I feel like we're going to constantly revisit.

28:42So I'm going to throw it out here right now.

28:44Do we see Ray Allen's number retired?

28:46That's something that might happen.

28:49It should.

28:51Kevin Arnett said that, and it should happen.

28:56Ray, without, without Ray, they don't win that championship.

28:59And they were, they were a big three.

29:01That's who they were.

29:03And, you know, maybe people now, maybe they've, you know, softened their stance up a little

29:09bit because obviously Kevin has, because he embraced Ray and that moment that they had

29:15in the garden with Ray Allen, that to me, opened the door because I'm thinking my,

29:21my thing here is what other NBA franchise is going to retire his jersey?

29:29That's a great point.

29:31Which, which one is going to do that?

29:32Miami, I don't know.

29:34It's not enough, not enough years, right?

29:36Not enough years, not enough production.

29:39Milwaukee, he was great in Milwaukee, Seattle, great in Seattle.

29:44But, you know, at the end of the day, he's going to be known for winning the championship.

29:49And he, he won his best championship here.

29:51Obviously the big shot against Miami, but he was, he was, he wasn't among the big three.

29:58He was the big three here in Boston.

30:00When those guys got together, man, it was just fun to be around them.

30:04Just how they carried themselves, how Doc Rivers approached them.

30:08And, you know, he, he pretty much said, look, guys, he told Rondo and Perk,

30:13get in where you fit in.

30:14And we're going to do what these guys right here want.

30:17And the rest of you guys, you guys kind of fit in it.

30:20And that caused a little controversy at the end with him and Rondo, but it is what it is.

30:27Right.

30:28Not for sure, man.

30:29I think it's, it's more than, I think, like you said, time heals for sure.

30:33What happened with the whole Miami thing, but for Garnett and Pierce to, to forgive

30:37him and all that, and this was years ago, right?

30:40Why not?

30:40I mean, I can't think of another player that fits the criteria.

30:44And if not, Max, the next player might be Jason Tatum, man, because I can't think of

30:48anybody more deserving than Ray Allen.

30:52I, I can't, there is nobody right now.

30:54There is nobody.

30:55I was, I was that odd person for a while that people said, man, you played well enough

31:01futures and should have been retired.

31:03Then that got done.

31:04And now Ray Allen's that one person out there that everybody's thinking about.

31:09And I hope maybe before Wick and his crew get out of here, maybe they're, maybe they'll

31:14do that.

31:15Yeah.

31:15Maybe they step up.

31:16I've said that over and over again.

31:19His Jersey should be retired.

31:21And I know some people, you know, so many jerseys have been retired for the Celtics.

31:26Well, when you're the world champions, as many times as the Celtics have been, you

31:31deserve to do what you need to do.

31:33So that was cool.

31:35Now, let me get, before we get out here, let me give me a shout out to Michael Cooper,

31:40who became a Hall of Fame inductee.

31:44A bunch of people have asked about it.

31:46What do you think, you know, Max, your stats were better than his and that, that, that

31:50Michael Cooper has also solidified himself for being with the Lakers, but also being

31:55in the WNBA where he won multiple championships with them.

32:00So I was really happy to see Michael Cooper go in and do what he did and talk about Pat

32:07Riley and Jerry West and all these people who, you know, he's who he, who he has admired

32:14for many years.

32:16Absolutely.

32:17100%.

32:18Yeah, man.

32:18Congrats to Cooper guys.

32:20Of course, you can check out his podcast under the CLNS media umbrella.

32:23If you want to get that, of course, Lakers perspective, because he doesn't similar to

32:28you and your love for the Celtics.

32:29He doesn't have his appreciation for the Los Angeles Lakers.

32:32So I can't wait.

32:33I cannot wait to get out there.

32:35Probably the next time I'm on this show, maybe by then I'll be able to flash one of those

32:40rings in front of you because I did get measured.

32:43So when I get my ring, stay tuned for all our viewers, man, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make

32:49sure, you know, we do the ring ceremony, right.

32:52And I'll make sure I bring it on.

32:54I won't bring the right measurement.

32:56Yeah, I got it.

32:57I got the right measurements.

32:58What happened to your boy Al?

32:59Yeah, but I'll make sure I don't have my, I won't bring my watch, my, you know, MVP watch,

33:04but I did get a chance to talk to Brown and you'd love this.

33:10I hadn't talked to him since he won the MVP.

33:13Right.

33:14So I walked up to him, said, man, I just want to, you know, give you a shout out, man.

33:19And Dappy up on being the MVP.

33:21And he looked at me and said, takes one to know one.

33:26You know, that's perfect.

33:29Much love.

33:30Much love for JB.

33:33Yeah.

33:33Shout out to JB.

33:35Oh, shout out to the conversation you had with Stephen A. Smith, man.

33:38If you guys haven't checked that out, please watch it.

33:41I loved the mutual respect those two had just obviously talking about the state your source

33:46thing that went out there right before the parade.

33:49You had my boy Jalen rocking the shirt.

33:51So I love that he was able to explain himself and talk about just that.

33:55That report that Stephen put out there that he wasn't a great teammate from anonymous source

34:01and all that.

34:02So, yeah, man, I'm so happy for Jalen, obviously going into the season and everyone, you know,

34:07still giving him his flowers and his appreciation for sure.

34:09Finals MVP.
