In a month full of old school vs. new school NBA culture wars, Ye Olde Argument on Physicality reared its familiar head into the discourse of the 2022 NBA Finals series unfolding between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors as a result of Dubs star forward Draymond Green’s envelope-pushing antics.
Namely, Green’s hyper-aggressive on-court play coupled with his open admission of his awareness of how he is officiated evoked a response from Celtics alumnus and broadcaster Cedric Maxwell regarding what was called a ‘corrective altercation‘ by some euphemistically that he might have encountered in the 1980s.
That in turn was answered by former Maxwell teammate and fellow Celtics champion Robert Parish, whose sage message is likely betting less attention than his recounting of a frustrating moment with Detroit Pistons enforcer Bill Laimbeer.
