Amazingly, the legendary Bob Cousy turned 95 on Wednesday. He left the NBA in 1963 after winning six championships with the Boston Celtics and leading the NBA in assists for eight straight seasons and defined the point guard position for decades.
When you see him here, it’s easy to understand why JJ Redick made his now famous crack about plumbers and firemen. He couldn’t go to his left and his body is a bit off by modern standards.
But he had vision and flair. No one in his day could see the passes he could see and he saw some of them with his back turned to the recipient.
