		Cedric Maxwell was -- gulp -- a fan of the Philadelphia 76ers.
		Cedric Maxwell -- horrors -- prayed that the Celtics would pass him by in the 1977 NBA draft so he could go, two picks later, to the more agreeable and amenable city of Atlanta.
		Eight years later, he traded Maxwell to the Clippers, infuriated by what he saw as Maxwell's sluggish rehabilitation from knee surgery and then a refusal to come to rookie camp to test the knee in the summer of 1985.

		Maxwell said that if he were a general manager, starting his own team, he would choose Dirk Nowitzki over Larry Bird.
		Maxwell later admitted that Bird's intangibles make him a better player, but curiously he would take the more physically-gifted player than the better player.
		But until then, Maxwell might want to either admit what's eating at him -- maybe he really feels Bird was overrated and a product of players like himself, McHale or Parish -- or go back and watch some old Celtics videos from the early 1980s.

		Maxwell wasn't merely hoping for some repeat magic when he uttered the quote - now one of the most famous in league history.
		And so he addressed the team in the locker room, went out and locked the Lakers' James Worthy - then a second-year pup - in his so-called torture chamber, and with a 24-point, eight-rebound, eight-assist performance led the Celtics to a 111-102 win and the Celtics' second NBA title of the decade.

		Things like having Cedric on the Jumbotron next to Red Auerbach, who God bless him looked like all he wanted at that moment was a little nap.
		Above all, though, there was genuine warmth and affections towards Maxwell, even from those like myself who are a bit suspicious at having his number next to those of Parish, McHale, Lewis, and Radja.
		Maxwell made the odd statement at one point that (I’ll paraphrase here), “No offense to Springfield, but thisthis right here is the true Hall of Fame.” For a moment, I think fashioned himself as standing center court in the old Boston Garden.
