Author: CLNS Media Network c/o North Station Media May 6, 2026 Duration: 1:03:09
Cedric Maxwell sits down with Rick Mahorn for a raw old-school NBA conversation. Mahorn breaks down how the Bad Boy Pistons defended Michael Jordan, why playoff basketball is still about physicality, how he would guard Joel Embiid, Victor Wembanyama, Giannis, Nikola Jokic and Karl-Anthony Towns, plus stories about Dennis Rodman, Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Robert Parish and the Celtics-Pistons rivalry. From the Jordan Rules to today’s injury concerns, Maxwell and Mahorn compare the toughness of the 80s NBA with the modern game. In this episode, Cedric Maxwell is joined by NBA Champion and Detroit Pistons legend, Rick Mahorn. The two friends dive into the 2026 NBA Playoffs, giving their thoughts on the Celtics-76ers and Magic-Pistons series. Then they reminisce about their careers and the evolution of the NBA since then. Cedric puts Rick on the spot, asking him how he'd fare against today's big men and about the Pistons' famous plan to stifle Michael Jordan. Rick also talks about his relationship with Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman and shares stories from the Bad Boy Pistons era.
