Days after losing his former teammate and friend Bill Russell, Bob Cousy turns 94 today. The legendary Boston Celtics point guard, 6-time NBA champion, was talked about this year for his response to JJ Redick’s comments about the “firefighters and plumbers” who played in his day. Anyway, Cousy, whose parents were of French descent, was a fantastic point guard for the time.
The surviving images, even if they have aged, show that in this era of basketball, Bob Cousy was still an exceptional player, who also allowed Russell to express himself at best.
