Pregame Pleasantries
Date: 1950s to 1960s
Bob Cousy, Bill Russell and Red Auerbach had a nice chat with players from the Cincinnati Royals during pregame warmups. After his retirement, Cousy went on to coach the Royals for three seasons with little success. He had a lot more luck as a Celtics player, partnering with Russell to defeat the Royals in the NBA Eastern Divisional Finals in 1963 and 1964 en route to two NBA World Championship titles.
