Cedric Maxwell & Sean Grande: Voices of the Celtics



Celtics radio duo, Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell join this week’s episode to share stories of their on-air relationship. The episode begins with Cedric Maxwell praising Sean Grande’s ability to bring energy to their broadcast, regardless of the outcome on the floor. As a former player, Max admits he can get swept up in emotions, recalling a few trophy presentation stories from the 2010 Finals and last year’s 2022 Eastern Conference Finals.

From here they go back to the beginning of their on-air relationship, 22 years ago. They discuss how their chemistry developed, their roles on the broadcast team and how beneficial it’s been having the ability to work interchangeably with the broadcast crew at NBC Sports Boston.

Before wrapping up, the crew discusses how their longevity brings a level of intimacy to the stories they share with fans, for example how intertwined Cedric Maxwell was with Kevin Garnett before he even played for the Celtics.
