Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something that’s been on my mind lately – the stats of a basketball legend, Bob Cousy. I’ve always been a huge basketball fan, and Cousy’s name keeps popping up in discussions about the greatest point guards of all time. I realized I didn’t know much about his actual numbers, so I decided to do some research.
First, I jumped online and started searching. I typed in “Bob Cousy stats” into the search bar and hit enter. A whole bunch of websites came up, listing his career averages, per-game stats, and all that good stuff. It was a bit overwhelming at first, to be honest.
I clicked on a few of the top results and started browsing. I found a ton of information, a bit all over the place, but still helpful. I saw he played for the Boston Celtics for most of his career, and then had a short comeback with the Cincinnati Royals. It was cool to see how the game has changed over the years just by looking at the categories they used to track back then.
I spent a good hour just reading through different pages and comparing the numbers. I started jotting down some of the most impressive stats in my notebook, like his career points, assists, and rebounds. I mean, the guy was averaging almost 20 points and 8 assists per game for a good chunk of his career. That’s crazy good, especially for that era of basketball.
One thing that really stuck out to me was his assist numbers. They were insane! He led the league in assists for eight straight seasons. Eight! It made me realize how much of a playmaker he was, always looking to set up his teammates. I guess that’s why they called him “The Houdini of the Hardwood.”
My Key Takeaways
- Dominant Playmaker: Cousy’s assist numbers are off the charts. He was a true floor general.
- Consistent Scorer: Even though he was known for his passing, he could still put up points.
- Celtics Legend: The majority of his career was spent with the Celtics, where he won six NBA championships.
After spending the afternoon diving into his stats, I definitely have a newfound appreciation for Bob Cousy’s game. He wasn’t just a good player, he was a pioneer who helped shape the point guard position into what it is today. It’s amazing how much you can learn just by looking at some numbers and doing a little bit of digging. I think I might go watch some old game footage of him now to see him in action!
