Following the Boston Celtics’ recent triumph in the NBA Finals, former Celtics player Cedric Maxwell took the opportunity to rib the Los Angeles Lakers, who fell short in the championship. Maxwell, a pivotal figure in the Celtics’ 1980s championships, turned to social media to celebrate their win and tease the Lakers.
On Twitter, Maxwell expressed his excitement, posting, “The city of Boston is once again on top of the basketball world! The Lakers may have the stars, but the Celtics have the heart and the hustle. It’s great to see this team back on top where they belong.”
He didn’t stop there; he also poked fun at the Lakers’ renowned duo, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Maxwell suggested, “I think it’s time for LeBron and AD to start looking for some new teammates. They can’t seem to get it done without a solid supporting cast. The Celtics showed them what a team is all about.”
Maxwell’s remarks ignited various responses from the basketball community, with many fans celebrating the Celtics’ gritty performance while others pointed fingers at the Lakers’ unsatisfactory showing. Despite differing opinions, Maxwell stands by his words and relishes in the Celtics’ championship win.
“I’ve been a Celtics fan my whole life, and it’s always great to see them win. This team has a lot of heart and never gives up, even when the odds are against them. I’m just happy to see them back on top,” he commented further on his loyalty and satisfaction with the Celtics’ performance.
The recent championship victory of the Celtics has been praised as a testament to the power of teamwork and resilience over mere talent. With their skilled lineup and dedicated supporters, the Celtics continue to establish themselves as a dominant force in basketball, bolstered by encouragement from legends like Cedric Maxwell. Their collective spirit promises to keep them competitive in the coming seasons.
