Byron Scott’s Most HATED Boston Celtics



Byron Scott’s Most HATED Boston Celtics

Your thoughts on some of the celt that rivalry with the Celtics who did you hate most on that team and wanted to hit I’m G tell you mine first I wanted to slap the out of Cedric Maxwell so many times man and now I’ve grown to love the

Guy you know I mean I had two I had I mean waving that towel over there I just wanted to smack the out of him just so he can stop waving and then number two of course Danny AED Danny a with with a passion you know I just

Wanted to you know I I remember I remember we had one play Buck was like B we gonna run 52 so you gonna catch the ball and Danny a is gonna be trailing you so he gonna be on your left side he said I want you to go up put that left

Elbow out you gonna hit him right in his damn throat and I said Buck that’s gonna be an offensive F he said baby b trust do that man I did that cool bam shot it heard the Whistle the ball count it foul on Danny a right Danny a

Over there like this know did you see what he did you see what he did to me and bu that’s what I’m talking about B you know and I was like yeah yeah man I want to hit that dude every game we played I was trying to find a

Way just to just to get one on his ass I just want I just hated him so much but like you said you know when he went into being a general manager and I’m coaching um I had to have I had had few counters

With him where I had to talk to him and everything and after that I I mean we we were we were cool you know everything was kind of squash and and I found out I I didn’t like Cedric as well because he came in to do an interview with me when

I was coaching in New Jersey and it was my first year coaching and our guy said well he does it with everyhead Coach you know so can cedri come in and do an interview with you and and I looked at him just like this C and straight his

Name is Mark I said Mark hell no I’m not doing an interview he he does it with every team every team head coach coach I said I don’t give a I ain’t talking to his ass and I didn’t talk to him the first year you know we went Boston twice I

Never did an interview with him and then my man Marx was like coach you killing me the next year he’s like please every I all right I’ll talk to him so he comes in you know Cedric hey what’s going on and I’m sitting there like what’s up you

Know and we finally sit down and we start talking I was straight Englewood too Co I was like yeah what’s up talking talking and he ended up being there like 10 minutes later because he because I was like okay you know what we had a good time and I was like all right

This dude’s all right you know so it took me a while to to open up to like you know Danny and and Maxwell and and Larry we were on you know uh uh the panel together for the first you know for that Lottery Pick and so you know

Got to know Larry a little bit more but yeah it it was hard for a while but man ML car and Danny AES I wanted to knock the out of them no that’s gone these guys all buddy buddies and you know I knew that when I was coaching New

Orleans and we were playing against Utah and Darren Williams and Chris Paul you know were were you know they were right behind each other in the draft you know we end up getting you know Chris Paul at four Utah took Darren Williams at three and you know the night

Before the game we come in or the day of the game we come in for shoot around and Chris Paul was like you know what you do last night coach I said I do what I normally do before the night you know night before a game I go to a movie you

Know and relax and I go back home and I you know start thinking about the game I said what you do he said oh me and uh Darren came over you know last night we had dinner and everything and you know spent the night I took him back to the

Hotel this morning I said you did what I said wait a minute wait a minute y’all did he spent the night I said what kind of is this and and now y’all gonna go and battle each other I said man I don’t get it I said I just don’t get

Itell that if Boston was in town me and Danny a gonna have dinner together and he gonna spend a night at my house I said there nowhere in him so I don’t get that that that those rival are been gone you know that’s why all these guys are joining each other

Because they want to play with their buddies and all this I mean that that that that stuff is it don’t exist the rivalries like they did back in the day that Boston Celtic La rivalry will be the best and last rivalry that we’ll ever see but you know it be it really

Made basketball took it to another level enabling these players to do what they do today oh I agree I I mean you know you know what we were able to accomplish in the 80s and 90s and and the teams before us have made the game what it is

Today you know the popularity of the game the money these guys are getting paid you know has all been paved Away by you know us just like it was paved away you know from Koozie and and and you know and and Will Chamberlain and Bill Russell and all those guys and Jerry

West for us so you know I don’t um you know to to me you know I tell them kudos to all of them you know get as much money as you can you know why you can because it is a business um and as soon as you can’t play the game you’re gonna

Get traded or or cut or whatever the case may be but this game has been made on the backbones of all these guys before them so my biggest thing with all the young guys is pay homage to the guys who got this to where it is you know

They they don’t know the history of basketball enough which is something that’s surprising me when we came in you know C you you before me but I know when I got I I knew about the Celtics back in the day you know I knew the history of

The game back in the day these guys I I was in Cleveland coaching and I mentioned Sydney monre and they was like who was that I was like are you kidding me you don’t know you don’t know Sydney M Creek or Jame Cony know guys

Like that they was like no I was like y’all y’all need to really look back at the history of the game of [Applause] basketball

Lakers legends Byron Scott and Michael Cooper take pleasure in naming their most despised Celtics from the 1980s with an explanation on why each green teamer gets under Showtime’s skin.

From Larry Bird to Danny Ainge to Cedric “Cornbread” Maxwell, BScott details why he loathed each player and then names the 1 Boston Celtic he’ll never find a way to appreciate… hint: his secret weapon was towel.

  1. Started watching as a fan of Bill Russell in 1959. Celtics and Lakers was the best rivalry in basketball. I miss that sort of intense rivalry.

  2. The rivalry between these two teams back then was incredible -both cities came to a standstill when they played each other. Some of the best entertainment you could get anywhere.

    Today's game is played by a bunch of overpaid primadonnas, and is no where near as much fun to watch.

  3. Larry Legend man here. When men were men. You competed and all you thought about is winning! And if you lost….

    No hugging and exchanging jerseys! You wouldn’t even make eye contact! Now it’s a love fest before, during and after game. For these guys the respect and love come now. Sorta full circle. Never will witness that intensity again.

  4. When the NBA was tough and physical! And as a Celtic fan beating, the Lakers was always the cherry on top of the cake😊. But as a basketball fan, I really liked watching the greats from every team the talent was the best and they did not like each other which I prefer it wasn’t personal. It was about basketball.
