I saw that earlier today, that was awesome. He’s not wrong.I never watch the NBA but I remember watching Cousy when I was young. He's now 95.
Bob Cousy on wish to see Celtics' 18th NBA title: 'I'm 95 f---ing years old with one foot in the grave'
The Celtics great helped Boston win six of its 17 championships
As great as Bob Cousy was. There are those that will tell you that former UK great Ralph Beard was better. Beard, Alex Groza & Bill Spivey if it wasn't for a point shaving scandal that rocked the basketball world during the early 50's. These 3 Kentucky greats would all be in The Hall of Fame & would be considered as 3 of the greatest players in history.I never watch the NBA but I remember watching Cousy when I was young. He's now 95.

The Lakers also buy championships. They mostly rely on free agents coming to LA.
Yes, but that's pro sports. It's all about location and management. Let's be real, "Heat Culture" ain't happening in Minnesota.
Good comment TopCatCal. In college, I dare say no one thought Cousy was better than Ralph Beard. Beard was a consensus 1st team AA for three years. First cover boy on the original Sports Illustrated. Bob Cousy did not make 1st team AA until Ralph Beard left for the NBA and only did it once. When asked who his "best defensive player was," Coach Rupp told John McGill "We've had a lot of those because you have to play defense if you want to win. (Lou) Tsioropoulos was good. Ellis Johnson would have to be on the list. But I believe Kenny Rollins was the best defensive player I coached. He stopped Bob Cousy." Rollins, UK's captain in both encounters with Cousy at Holy Cross did hold him in check. Heck of a running mate with Beard.
