Boston Celtics legendary small forward and current-day NBC Sports Boston broadcaster Cedric Maxwell knows a thing or two about how to work NBA officials on the court. On a recent segment of the CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast, the eponymous host and his cohost Josue Pavon speculate on what star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is saying or doing to the referees to force such quick whistles, technicals, and ejections.
Drawing on his own experiences as a pro in need of a friendlier whistle from the officials, Max offers Tatum some strong advice on how to remedy his relationship with the refs.
As a bonus, both hosts indulge in a hilarious moment of making fun of LeBron James’ best acting — or as they say these days, ‘selling contact.’
