Cedric Maxwell

I was talking to my friends today and telling them I was coming on this show.

And I said, and I start mimicking Ocho.

I said, the goddamn man, let me tell you what he did over here.

I got it.

But I'm just saying, that's how he got moved when he was from Dallas.

Because he was so bad against the Celtics during the championship that Dallas said, no, no, we ain't going to go that way.

And I think he's an unbelievably great offensive player.

But if you can't slow people down defensively in this league anymore, it takes away from your greatness as an offensive player.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's true.

talk about these offensive guys and sometimes i like bro i mean that's why i think i have to give so much credit to lebron james because he for especially the first whatever 20 years 15 years he was one of the top defenders and and and one of the top offensive players and then i think about jordan same way that he played now think about kobe bryant kobe bryant that would try to dog you

One of the defensive end.

I heard Chef Studio say, you know, he said, Kobe came over to me and said, Coach, at the Olympics, I want to guard the toughest guy every night.

How many superstars step up like that?

I know when I played, for my years, I was averaging about 20 points a game my second year in the league, Joe.

And we got Larry Bird.

The coach came over to me and said, you know what?

every night I want you to guard the toughest man.

I'm like, shit, I'm a lover.

I ain't no damn fighter.
