In the 1980s the Boston Celtics ruled the East, with a combination of front-line toughness and the unparalleled skill of Larry Bird. When Bill Walton joined the team and was finally able to put in a full injury-free season, Bird, McHale, and co made it to the top of the NBA mountain one last time. Dan Shaughnessy chronicled this era in his fascinating book Wish It Lasted Forever. In this mini-pod episode, Dan shares a story titled The Bitch is Back about the heated playoff banter between Bernard King and the great trash-talker, Cedric Maxwell. Relive the Celtics’ 80s glory days in Dan’s book Wish It Lasted Forever and check out his Twitter feed.
