Bob Cousy
November 19, 1955 – Pistons at Celtics. Bob Cousy, the point guard for the Boston Celtics, nimbly dodges a pair of defenders of the Fort Wayne Pistons in a heart-racing moment of their 1955 game. An arsenal consisting of no-look passes and behind-the-back dribbling made Cousy’s unconventional style difficult for other players to manage. Most of the players at the time had been traditionally trained, and could not properly or effectively respond to Cousy’s unusual method.
