May 10, 2023 · Bob Cousy is quite down my top 100, maybe not even in it if I did a recount. If using Cousy's 63 ranking as a medium of sorts, he's still closer to guys out of the top 100, even if those guys are like 130, 140, 150 etc as the tiers start to have more players in them the lower down the rankings you go.
A guy like Bob Cousy was a NBA Champion and an MVP, he wouldn't even come close to making an NBA team. A guy like Elgin Baylor, who averaged 27 and 13 for his career, probably wouldn't make an NBA team either. Comparing him to NBA players now, he has no shot, no range, no ball handling, no post up game, average athleticism. Wilt most likely would have made it, but wouldn't have dominated ...
The Celtics pre-Russell finished 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, and 2nd in a 4 team division despite Cousy and fellow HOF players Bill Sharman (who was more efficient than Cousy and a better defender -- think Dumars to Cousy's Isiah) and Ed McCauley (also more efficient and a good inside scorer). They got Russell and started winning though Cousy got the first MVP -- despite, not because of, Cousy's playoff ...

Mar 23, 2024 · RB34 wrote:Bob Cousy walked so Tyus Jones could run. By that logic the caveman who invented the wheel is just as knowledegable about engineering as a modern physicist. Warspite wrote: Billups was a horrible scorer who could only score with an open corner 3 or a FT.
Nov 2, 2016 · At any rate, we can say with confidence that he’s multiple tiers below Cousy as a scorer: Rodgers’ shooting efficiency makes Bob Cousy look like Steve Nash, and this despite very limited scoring volume. His longevity is a little behind Cousy’s.
Apr 16, 2024 · I don't think that's the right lens to view what Bob Cousy can do for a team. We're trying to pigeon hole his abilities that way into becoming a player that he isn't, or ever would be. Best way to think of it IMO is that he's a 6-1 Jokic or Luka. You could use the same footspeed logic to those guys and decide they'd never be worth much in the NBA. Cousy really is different. Most all of the ...
Aug 2, 2024 · Bob Cousy - OK, ZeppelinPage convinced me to move Cousy from my HM's into 3rd. As I've alluded to repeatedly, I suspect bbref underrates the Celtic ORtg's during the Russell era (due to inflated pace estimates); ZP [via citing Ben Taylor] reenforces this notion, as by Taylor's estimated paces, the Celtics were actually the 2nd-best offense in the league this year. Cousy appears the primary ...

Jul 21, 2021 · Quotes like that one from Joe Lapchick show how highly Cousy was regarded at the time. He certainly wasn't the only one praising Cousy, and it seems as though it was more likely to hear Bob Cousy's name in the same breath as George Mikan, rather than Bob Davies. I think it's also notable that the greatest coach and GM of all-time consistently ...
