Donnie Wahlberg on Cedric Maxwell’s 1981 NBA Finals MVP with the Boston Celtics

If you are among fans of the Boston Celtics who only remember Celtics broadcaster Cedric Maxwell for his work alongside Sean Grande calling games on the radio waves, you are far from alone.

If you are among fans of the Boston Celtics who only remember Celtics broadcaster Cedric Maxwell for his work alongside Sean Grande calling games on the radio waves, you are far from alone. But Boston superfan Donnie Wahlberg, Maxwell winning Finals Most Valuable Player is the memory that stands out about the North Carolina native the most.

In a recent episode of the CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast, Wahlberg praised Maxwell for his outstanding performance during the 1981 NBA Finals. The actor also expressed his admiration for Cornbread (as Maxwell is called for a nickname), highlighting his ability to carry his team to victory.

To hear more of their conversation about Maxwell’s glory days, take a look at the clip we have embedded below as Maxwell, Wahlberg, and co-host Josue Pavon wax nostalgic about those special times.

Celtics superfan Donnie Wahlberg is ready for Banner 18

Wahlberg recently made an appearance on the CLNS Media “Celtics Talk” podcast.

The Boston Celtics have never been short on celebrity fans on the sidelines joining the rest of us in trying to will their favorite team to a league-record 18th title, and among some of the more visible and vocal of such star Celtics fans is Hollywood actor and pop star Donny Wahlberg.

The Boston, Massachusetts native — a founding member of the 1990s boy band supergroup New Kids on the Block — is rooting for the ever-elusive Banner 18 like the rest of us New England basketball fans are. Unlike most of us, however, Wahlberg recently made an appearance on the CLNS Media “Celtics Talk” podcast.

The NKOTB star sat down with hosts Evan Valenti and Adam Kaufman to talk about his fandom for the Boston Celtics, family life with actor brother Mark, and much more.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the trio had to talk about.
