## Resource

Cedric Maxwell reunites with two of his closest friends, Joe Barry Carroll and Lester Conner, for a wide-ranging conversation full of stories, laughs, and insight. The trio looks back at the legendary Celtics-Warriors trade that brought Robert Parish and Kevin McHale to Boston, reflects on playing in Houston alongside Hakeem Olajuwon, and dives into how NBA money, lifestyle, and culture have changed across generations. From Kareem’s unstoppable skyhook to LeBron James’ legacy, and from financial advice for young players to Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA, Max, JB, and Lester cover it all in classic barbershop style.
