Bob Cousy finally responded to J.J. Redick's knock on his era in a radio interview on Thursday.
Boston Celtics legend Bob CousyIn a debate with sports personality Chris"Mad Dog" Russo on"First Take," Redick took issue with the radio legend leaving Chris Paul out of the debate on the greatest point guards in NBA history. Redick scoffed at the assertion that Cousy, who played for the Celtics from 1950 to 1963 and then again in the 1969-70 season, was in that conversation because of the talent he played against.
The 93-year-old Cousy had his chance to respond to that remark in an interview Thursday on SiriusXM NBA Radio. "So when you respond to something like this, you play into their hands. I won’t do that, but I will defend the firemen and the plumbers that he referenced. And I’ll just give you a few of the names of these firemen that I played with and against during those years. How about Bill Russell, the aforementioned, not too bad a player. Wilt Chamberlain, remember that guy? He wasn’t bad. I guess he must have fought fires as well. But in any event, Wilt Chamberlain.
