When radio color analysts talk smack

Best response to Kobe's 81 points-- with a historical allusion thrown in for free-- goes to Cedric Maxwell

''There's no way he's getting 81 on me, not without going to Mass. General first," Maxwell said. ''Everyone on our team [the 1980s Celtics] would have felt the same way."

Maxwell authored the memorable line ''no way the [expletive] is getting 50 on me" when someone asked him how he'd contain the ultra-hot Bernard King in the 1984 playoffs. King didn't get 50 -- until the series moved to New York for Games 3 and 4.

Grrrrr, go Cornbread! Grrrrrrrr
