A 6-foot, 2-inch guard from Brooklyn, New York, Max was the idol of every Jewish boy who grew up playing basketball in the early 1950s, and was one of the NBA's first stars.

For a man with only one year of college ball he was extremely court-wise, the result of spending 5-6 hours a day practicing on the schoolyards and playgrounds of Brooklyn as a teenager.

One of the greatest 2-hand set shot artists of all time, and always offensive-minded, he was also very skilled in all other phases of the game.

He was a very good ball-handler, and though not a point-guard in the traditional sense, he was usually the player who brought the ball down court to set up the offense.

He was quick and agile enough to drive by opponents who underestimated that quickness, and he had a soft touch with his running 1-handers.

His athletic agility served him well on defense also. He was a tough man to get around, and his quick hands disrupted plays and accounted for many steals.

Max played for the Chicago Stags, the New York Knicks, the Baltimore Bullets, the Milwaukee Hawks, and the Ft. Wayne Pistons.

He scored over 1,000 points in 3 consecutive seasons, and was named 1st Team All NBA for 4 consecutive years. When he retired in 1956 he was the NBA All Time leading scorer with 7,900 points.

He was named to the NBA 25th Anniversary Team.
