Cedric Maxwell Biography
Cedric Maxwell is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on November 21, 1955 in North Carolina, North Carolina, United States. He won two championships alongside teammate Larry Bird.
Maxwell received the nickname “Cornbread” from his college teammate Melvin Watkins after the pair went to see the movie Cornbread, Earl and Me, in which a 12-year-old boy is traumatized by the murder of his friend, a star basketball player. Watkins thought that Maxwell looked like the title character (played by Jamaal Wilkes) and so began calling him Cornbread. Since Maxwell did not like the nickname, it did not gain widespread use until Maxwell was named MVP of the NIT tournament in 1976, when, according to Watkins, “The New York media picked up on [the nickname].”
Maxwell was a star forward/center for the Charlotte 49ers. Among the 49ers, Maxwell ranks 6th all-time in points scored and his #33 jersey was retired in 1977, when he led UNC Charlotte to the NCAA Final Four. Upon completion of his career at Charlotte, Maxwell was the 12th overall pick in the 1977 NBA draft. He was drafted by the Boston Celtics, where he played for eight of his eleven seasons.
He was born and raised in Kinston, North Carolina.
He was the MVP of the 1981 NBA Finals, leading his Boston Celtics to a 4-2 series win against the Houston Rockets.

Maxwell, in addition to being a dangerous scorer and a colorful character, was a clutch performer in the playoffs. Maxwell was named MVP of the 1981 NBA Finals. Three years later, Maxwell scored 24 points against the Los Angeles Lakers in the decisive game-seven victory during the 1984 NBA Finals. Before the game, he told his teammates to “climb on my back, boys.” Maxwell’s colorful side was also on display in the series as he mocked second-year Laker forward James Worthy’s inability to make free throws during overtime of game 4 by walking across the lane between free throws with his hands around his own neck, suggesting Worthy’s choking under pressure. Maxwell also made fun of Kurt Rambis prior to Game 4 of the 1984 Finals, wearing Rambis’s trademark glasses and inadvertently missing a long range shot in front of loyal Rambis fans known as the “Rambis Youth”. The following season, after an injury, Maxwell lost his starting role to Kevin McHale, who had spent two seasons coming off the bench and was in the process of winning his 2nd consecutive Sixth Man of the Year.

Maxwell made an impact in his second season with the Celtics. While Boston was mired in an otherwise awful 1978-79 season, as they awaited Larry Bird’s decision to sign with the franchise, the second-year power forward averaged 19.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. The Celtics would go just 29-53 on the year, but the young Maxwell’s potential, along with the promising addition of Bird and others, set the stage for what would become an NBA dynasty.
