guerrajohn+FollowMad Max Rips Turner’s 3-Point GameVernon “Mad Max” Maxwell didn’t hold back on the “All the Smoke Unplugged” podcast, calling Myles Turner’s exit from Indy a blessing for the Pacers. Maxwell slammed Turner for camping out at the arc instead of dominating the paint, despite Turner’s solid 3-point stats. While Turner’s shooting helped the Pacers in the playoffs, some fans and ex-players think Indy needs a true inside presence. With Turner gone to the Bucks, will the Pacers regret losing their rim protector, or was Mad Max right? #Sports #Basketball #PacersNation00Share

What do you think—was Bender the Pacers’ biggest ‘what if’ ever? #Sports #Basketball #PacersNation00Share
