The Boston icon is pulling for the city’s NBA franchise to win championship No. 18
“It always means everything when you’re going up against the Lakers,” Maxwell said. “They’re supposedly tied with us. People say they’re the standard-bearer of the NBA but the Celtics have been that since the start. And James Worthy, after we win this championship, I want you to smell our ass as we’re going by.”
The Lakers just recently matched the Celtics with 17 titles when LeBron James and Anthony Davis powered Los Angeles to a championship during the NBA’s bubble playoffs in 2020. However, there’s still some dispute, typically from the franchise’s critics, over whether or not all of those rings should count considering the first five Lakers championships came when the team was still in Minneapolis.
Legitimate titles or not, Los Angeles doesn’t have a chance to add to its storied franchise history this season, but Boston does. The Celtics took a 1–0 advantage over the Warriors with a come-from-behind victory on Thursday and will seek to take a two-game lead in the series before the weekend is out.
