Bob Cousy
He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame
Cousy’s career with the Boston Celtics was marked by incredible success, as he helped lead the team to six NBA championships during his 13-year tenure. He was the NBA assists leader for eight consecutive seasons, showcasing his unparalleled vision and playmaking ability. Cousy was the first player in NBA history to reach the 4,000, 5,000, and 6,000 career assists milestones, solidifying his legacy as the first great point guard in the league. His contributions to the Celtics' dynasty in the 1950s and early 1960s were instrumental in establishing the franchise as a powerhouse in professional basketball.
Before his professional career, Cousy made a name for himself at the College of the Holy Cross, where he led the Crusaders to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and earned NCAA All-American honors for three consecutive seasons. Drafted third overall in the 1950 NBA Draft by the Tri-Cities Blackhawks, Cousy refused to report to the team and was subsequently picked up by the Boston Celtics, where he would go on to make history. After retiring as a player, Cousy transitioned into coaching, serving as both a college basketball coach and an NBA head coach for the Cincinnati Royals.
Cousy’s impact on the game has been recognized through numerous accolades, including his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1971. The Boston Celtics retired his No. 14 jersey, and he has been named to the NBA 25th, 35th, 50th, and 75th Anniversary Teams, making him one of only four players to receive such honors. In 2019, Cousy was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, further cementing his legacy as one of the most important figures in basketball history.
