James Worthy, Cedric Maxwell behind the scenes of Magic Johnson HIV diagnosis

Cedric Maxwell spent the quarantine before his return to Celtics radio duties discussing his and other legends’ careers alongside rivals like Bob McAdoo and Michael Cooper. That conversation series continued this week with Lakers legend James Worthy.

Worthy checked in between his own TV commitments on Lakers broadcasts. He’s been waking up early these days to golf, bringing him back to his days as a caddy and wondering how many Black caddies didn’t make it as the job transitioned to that larger role.

The two discussed their transition from basketball to the broadcast booth and some of the early struggles in that new lane.
