When Larry Bird put Cedric Maxwell in his place! 🏀

Here’s how Boston Celtics icon Larry Bird put a trash-talking Cedric Maxwell in his place. Now, engaging in a war of words with Larry Legend was a big mistake, but Cedric Maxwell still dared to take his shot. And when Bird walked into Celtics practice in 1979, Maxwell hit him with some mean trash talk, thinking the hick from French Lick wouldn’t last. But by the second practice, Bird let his game do all the talking, dropping buckets, dishing dimes, and snagging boards with ease. Without saying a single word, Bird silenced Maxwell and earned respect the old school way. From that moment on, Maxwell knew this lanky white boy wasn’t just hype. He was the real deal.
