Cedric Maxwell: Jayson Tatum had no idea I was an NBA legend until he watched the 30 for 30 documentary

- "That documentary really made Jayson Tatum actually know who I am"
- "I was walking around the Celtics stadium and Jayson yells our 'cornbread!! cornbread!!' I asked what you yelling at me for"
- "Man I watched you at the 30 for 30 documentary, you were a bad muthafukka back then"
- "I thought you were just a radio broadcast announcer"




It's crazy to me that it's obvious common knowledge who Cedrick Maxwell is/was. Ice Cube, LL Cool J and Ice T all mentioned that half their current audience have no idea that they used to Rap. But I'm happy documentaries are allowing younger brehs to learn about the legends

He’s not a hall of famer tho?? Is it about his number being retired? I’m so confused… I feel dumb not being in on this

 

[In The Zone '98]

Tatum got his own jumpshot to work on, he not gonna know everybody.

 

[Boonapalist]

Celtic legend sure. But NBA legend ? That’s pushing it and it’s not common knowledge who Cedric Maxwell is

The Disney movie Coco is a great summation on how life is forgotten when there's no story attached to it.

The further you get away from it, the less people remember.

Documentaries are important for that very reason. That's why The Last Dance made MJ even more GOAT'd after that dropped

These young nikkas didn't grow up with ESPN Classic. They got Google and YouTube but 'the need to know' doesn't exist like you would think.

Most young dude as soon as they see the tv/picture quality we used to watch game it's an automatic click off for them

I’m a 90’s baby like Tatum and I’ve never heard of Cedric Maxwell either

 

[reserved_one]

Cedric was a notable NBA player but NBA legend is kind of a stretch

 

[GoldenGlove]

I saw a post on IG where it was a meme/video where the clip used was from Seinfeld.

Someone in the comments was like, what show is this from.



Some people don't know who Jerry Seinfeld is and next seen an episode. I was like damn

Youngins see Ice Cube and refer to him as Craig or be like "Are we there yet?"

LL is "The Black dude from NCIS who is always appearing in some live event"

Ice T is Detective Tutuola, obviously.

Go watch first time watch videos as a social discovery.

To see if white people know about the watts riots.
Watch how dangerous this whole clandestined kuklos udc based youth movement. To eliminated facts and history from the general known lexicon.

Imagine the shock in this.

Being the general white person has no idea about civil rights.
Plus the sheer volume this general ignorance has been prevalent.
As nba history being ignored.
Is purely to get away from.
the discovery of bill russell galvanizing all the prominent black public sports figures for civil rights.

So all this current ignorance is purposeful and has generally worked.

So that is why i urge you all to dig in the crate. Plus spread the gateway of the mores and norms. within the pillars of hiphop frfr.
As well being keen in knowledge of self.

I have never in my life heard of Cedric Maxwell is, not sure if you spelled Cedrick right cuz I never seen it spelled that way either
I'm thinking IS VERNON MAXWELL REAL NAME CEDRICK?
Judging from the youtube screenshot, I'd think he used to play Football or ran a donut shop?

Judging by the other responses, yeah, this dude isn't nearly as known as you think.
What 30 4 30 are you referring to exactly? And even tho you said 30 4 30, my mind still goes "Was he in the last dance?"
I'm just riffing cuz I don't know who this nikka is
