Bob Cousy is 95. He’d have a hard time keeping up.

Bob Cousy might be incredibly overrated but not to the point he’s less skilled than Tyus Jones, LOL

Bob Cousy walked so Tyus Jones could run.

Re: Tyus Jones vs Bob Cousy
The real question should be is Bob Cousy at 95 better on defense than Tyus Jones right now? Because Tyus may be the worst defensive guard in the NBA and he's on a team with Jordan Poole.

This is a general board thread. There is nothing serious here to discuss.

By that logic the caveman who invented the wheel is just as knowledegable about engineering as a modern physicist.

Hopefully your name is the number of posts you'll ever make again.
Also: It's Tyus Jones. A plumber could shoot 37% from the floor.

That's not the point of that argument. It's about value in context.
Almost everything Isaac Newton came up with ended up being at least partially wrong. Yet he's still considered the greatest physicist ever by most physicists because his contribution was so groundbreaking and impactful in the long-term.
When you do historical evaluations, you have to put things into context. It's History 101. Avoid anachronism.

I'd like to see Bob doing some tricks at 95 years old, of course not in the game but I'd still take him easily.

Why does everything have to measured by the standard of today's league? That's a dumb premise for a comparison.

Its like comparing Ferrari 365 Daytona with Ferrari FF. We all know FF is a better car in todays world, but Daytona is something special and will always be rememberd as one of the greatest cars ever made.
If everything is going well, expect an WojBomb

We have a hall of fame for honouring players. That's not what is being asked.

If you read carefully one more time you will find your answer in my post.

Bob Cousy dribbled so that Tyus Jones could travel.
Cousy was an evolutionary leap.
Jones is just cashing checks and passing to Jordan Poole for a missed three.

Caitlin Clark would be better than Bob Cousy if you just time traveled him in and dropped him in a high level run. Those 15’ running hook shots he was converting at 25% against schmucks aren’t gonna get him anywhere

it's Tyus Jones, he is very underrated look at the Assist to TOV ratio. The efficiency is better.
Did ppl forget what Jones was doing for a Memphis not too long ago?

Re: Tyus Jones vs Bob Cousy
When I see these posts put up for the sole purpose of disrespecting players of a different era, I think of Nikola Jokic. If he played exactly the way he does now, only did it in the 50's, he'd be laughed at. You'd be seeing it in black and white and the same people who make these posts would disrespect him.
