I do not want to hear hot take fake tough guy gary tanguay’s voice on ads Max is so under appreciated, he’s the man as a player and a broadcaster and now he has a Great podcast too.
Laimbeer should be blamed not Isiah.

OB Jack Jr.

I’ve watched a couple Cedric Maxwell podcasts and I’m happy to subscribe to it now. Isiah Thomas keeps getting blamed for bird stealing the ball, but bill Laimbeer stood flat-footed, as Bill often does. Any junior high kid is taught to come back towards the ball, especially under pressure, and Laimbeer went to the lane and stood there. Isiah has been blamed for 35 years, I say Laimbeer should be blamed for the next 35. Isiah Thomas, great ball player, even though I was by far a Celtics. Now Isiah proving to be a great storyteller, too. Thanks for the podcast, Cedric. I’ve enjoyed every one of them
Great pod
