I would've liked to have watched Cousy. Isn't he one of the first improvisational passers?

He was the master of ball handling in his timeframe IMO... (as much as I remember of him)...behind the back passes on the break for easy layups..

I only saw him a few times in person...(no TV too much back then)...

Listened to all the Celtic games on radio though, thanks to Johnnie Most... "high above courtside"

It was a very different time...

So when you went to the Boston Garden as a young kid, it was really a big deal!

My fondest memories were of seeing an NBA doubleheader... thats right... two games for the price of one....got to see Russel take on Wilt in the feature!
