Cedric Maxwell admits, more than once, he’s had to put his size-15 in his mouth. Whether in times where he was right, saying the 2008-09 Celtics couldn’t win a championship without Kevin Garnett on the radio before receiving a call from Wyc Grousbeck quipping that maybe the team needs a new broadcaster, or when he was wrong, making crude remarks toward a female referee on the air. He’s rarely shied away from speaking his mind, or admitting past mistakes. Max puts it all on display in his new autobiography.
That’s made him an indispensable figure around Celtics basketball since 1977 as a player and broadcaster.
