Bob Cousy: The NBA’s First Great Point Guard

The NBA’s first great point guard was Bob Cousy, who won six NBA titles with the Boston Celtics, was also a 13-time NBA All-Star, and the 1957 NBA MVP. Now 95, when Cousy retired, President John F. Kennedy sent a wire stating, “The game bears the indelible stamp of your rare skills and competitive daring, and it will serve as a living reminder of your long and illustrious career so long as it is played.”
