Episode Details

Cedric Maxwell, a two-time Celtics champion, challenges the notion of the 1985-1986 team as one of the greatest. Despite their title win, Maxwell argues that true greatness requires more than a single dominant season. The team, featuring a gamble addition of Bill Walton, boasted top-tier defense and offense, with every starter scoring in double figures. Larry Bird earned MVP and All-NBA honors, and Walton won Sixth Man of the Year. However, injuries and tough playoff series led to a six-game finals loss the following year, sparking debate on what truly defines a dynasty.
