Cooz Lays It Up
Date: 1950s to 1960s
Bob Cousy gained his fame for the skills he brought to the court and the assists he dished to his teammates – but he could put the ball in the net as well. Despite shooting 37.5 percent for his career, he averaged more than 10 points per game in each of his seasons with the Celtics, including four seasons averaging over 20 points per game. Here, Cousy attempts to make a layup while avoiding New York Knicks player Richie Guerin.
