No, Larry Bird was NOT the 1981 #NBAFinals MVP, that honor lies with his teammate, veteran forward and former 20 ppg scorer, Cedric ‘Cornbread’ Maxwell who just averaged a measly 18 PPG, 10 RPG and 3 APG. Bird on the other side of the ORIGINAL BIG THREE front court (with Maxwell & Robert Parish), averaged a remarkable 15 PPG, 15 RPG and 7 APG. As you’ve can imagine, the Finals MVP race was quite a debate for Maxwell or Bird.
As displayed here, • Celtics vs Rockets | ...
, in game 5, it was Maxwell’s exploits from Games 2 through 6 that ultimately won him the award.
Throwing no shade at the legend tho… Larry Bird, the #NBA sophomore superstar was impressive and thus, we give you every point, assist and rebound of the entire series for Larry Legend. In the coming week, we will add in similar highlight mix for Max.
