- Bob Cousy was perhaps
- the best playmaker the
- sport of basketball has
- ever seen. He was the
- first NBA player to use
- fancy dribbling moves and make perfect no-
- look passes. While Bob ran their offense, the
- Boston Celtics won six NBA championships,
- including five in a row from 1959 to 1963.
-
- In college, Bob was a three-time All-America
- at Holy Cross, a Massachusetts school.
- Celtic coach Red Auerbach was under a lot
- of pressure to sign Bob for his team because
- he was a local hero. But Red didnΓÇÖt think the
- 6' 1" guard was good enough. Bob ended
- up with the Celtics only after another NBA
- franchise went out of business.
