It was the day of Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks, and before Mychal Thompson said goodbye to his call-in guest on his ESPN LA 710 radio show in Los Angeles, the former Lakers forward had a request for a special delivery.
"If you see Cedric Maxwell," Thompson said, "tell him I hate him."
Maxwell, the former Celtic and 1981 Finals MVP whose nickname is "Cornbread," was happy to lean into the beef following the Celtics' 107-89 Game 1 win later that night.
"Well here's a message I want you to deliver to Mychal," Maxwell told ESPN, breaking into a wide smile as he took off his headphones after calling the game on the Celtics' radio broadcast inside the arena.
"Tell him: 'F— you.'"
"And tell it to James Worthy, too."

The only thing that I care about is whether or not the lakers win. I could care less what goes on with the other teams. I don’t care about championships that happened when segregation was still legal
Fuck Boston
