Vernon “Mad Max” Maxwell joins Byron Scott for a no-holds-barred conversation about the wildest era of NBA basketball. From getting slapped by Hakeem Olajuwon to battling Magic Johnson straight out the gate, Vernon breaks down the mindset, the mayhem, and the mental toll of being an enforcer in the league. He opens up about his time with the Houston Rockets, shares locker room stories that never made headlines, and speaks candidly about his journey through mental health challenges. This one is raw, honest, and packed with 90s NBA gold.
