Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell is no stranger to hanging championship banners in the garden.
Maxwell helped guide Boston to two NBA championships in 1981 and 1984, and was the finals MVP in ’81. Earlier this season, when Maxwell was attending a Celtics game, Joe Mazzulla pulled him aside to talk about the championships.
His talk with Maxwell further solidified just how focused Boston is on winning it all this season. Players and coach alike are determined to raise banner 18, but Maxwell thinks their potential is even higher than that.
“He said, ‘you know I would do anything to win another banner,’ and literally he had tears in his eyes,” Maxwell said on the “First to the Floor” podcast.
