To truly know… the history of the NBA… you must intimately know the roads traveled and the championships won by the Boston Celtics… and the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers… and their shining stars… that have shown above all others. This book is about the Boston Celtics… and the original NBA showman… Bob “Da-Cooz†Cousy… and among many other things… his relationship with the greatest winner in basketball history… Bill “Big-Russ†Russell… during their playing days… and long afterward as “Da-Cooz†at ninety-years-old…now tries to come to grips with his conscience.Basketball has been involved in the major part of my entire life. When I first got hooked on playing in park leagues… it was right around the tail end of Cousy’s career… as I advanced to Junior High Leagues… then High School Leagues… then Junior College Leagues… Military Leagues… and more… it was mainly Bill Russell’s continued reign. I had a tremendous “LOVE-HATE†relationship with the Celtics. I hated them because I was a Laker fan… and it seemed every year during Cooz and/or Russ’ dominance… they beat the Lakers in the finals. But… I loved the way they played! They were…. to this day… the greatest true “team†playing “teamâ€â€¦ I ever saw. Though I hated them I studied every one of their players intimately. I learned my “bank-shot†from Sam Jones… I learned rebounding from Russ… I learned defense from K.C… I learned to appreciate passing (though not a lot about me actual passing) and field generalship from the master “Da Cooz. I learned how to “gun†from Heinsohn… I imitated Satch Sanders shooting style… and though I was right handed… I finished each practice shooting left handed free throws like Russ. I also learned how to hate Red Auerbach lighting up his victory cigars… and yet till this day I think he was the greatest coach ever. I even read his international bestselling book on basketball fundamentals.What this book does is take you from the New York ghetto where Cousy grew up… shares in great detail his family history of a Mother who physically abused his Father… and hated Germans from her life in France… and how Da Cooz not only became a three time All-American at Holy Cross… but became one of the greatest players in NBA history. He played for the Celtics from 1950-63 and won six straight NBA titles. Before Cousy’s arrival the savior of the NBA had been big George Mikan who led the Minneapolis Lakers to multiple titles. Joining Cousy in Boston midway through Da Cooz’s career was Big Bill Russell… who continued the Celtics dominance (that in my opinion will never be matched) to eventually total ELEVEN-NBA-CHAMPIONSHIPS-IN-THIRTEEN-YEARS! Add to Russ’s stats… the fact that he won two NCAA titles with USF… and a gold medal with the United States in the Olympics… and you can see why I said he’s the winningest basketball player in history!The heart… literally the guts… the goal of this book… is Cousy attempting to come to peace with himself in his waning years… did he??? Could he??? Why didn’t he???... Do enough… if not more… to help Bill Russell cope with the terrible racism that Russell and other black teammates had to face in Boston and other areas. Complicating this issue… is the fact that… perhaps not clearly seen by the outside world… was the fact that Cooz and Russ were not close at all… off the court… yet they were… one of the greatest winning teammate combinations on it. They were a well-oiled synchronized creation of basketball victory. The author has done a ton of research recreating what it was like not only back in the day… but also Cousy’s current life with his echoing rooms in his large house… filled with the memories of his dear departed wife of over sixty-years… Missie. The parts of the story that revolve around Red Auerbach are absolutely classic… his bombastic Brooklyn street-fighting moxie… along with his psychology… and his drive to integrate basketball like never before.On top of all this… as a sports book… is that the author Gary M. Pomerantz… has such a beautiful writing style… that at times you forget it’s a sports book… and just start appreciating and absorbing the prose. As an example… the haunting book jacket cover picture of a young Cooz and Russ… taken before a big game… is described in both a lingering and illuminating narrative. If I may share one of countless phrasings that the author seems to effortlessly use to raise this book to a high standard of literature: “Let us see Cousy as he was on Boston Garden’s parquet floor, in his white home jersey set off by CELTICS 14 in Kelly green. He looked quintessentially French with his long, thin face, dark features, and deep-set eyes. For much of any game, his face was impassive. But seldom was it impassive for an entire game. In moments that mattered most, the mask came off, replaced by a game face, drawn tight for battle. He often moved with a captain’s strut and an artist’s impatience. Maybe he saw a referee miss a call. A teammate might have fumbled a pass. At those moments, Cousy could be a demanding master.â€Yes… Da Cooz… and Big Russ… were quite different… except in one way… and that’s when it came to doing what it took to win! Here’s the deepest… purest insight… from teammate Tom Heinsohn:“HEINSOHN SAT BETWEEN COUSY AND RUSSELL. HE WATCHED THE TWO MEN CLOSELY AND NOTED A COMMON TRAIT. “THEY TOOK SO MUCH OUT OF THEMSELVES,†HEINSOHN SAYS. “I DIDN’T HAVE THIS DRIVE TO BE THE WORD’S GREATEST LIKE THEY DID. TO WIN AN NBA TITLE, HEINSOHN THOUGHT, THEY’D KILL THEIR MOTHERS.â€A tremendously written and researched book… and you’ll even learn why the only person in the world other than Red Auerbach’s wife… who called Auerbach “Arnold†was Da Cooz!
This is a wonderful tale of basketball's greatest era, and those who made it that way: Cousy, Russell, and the Celtics. The author's main thrust is with Cousy, and the book doesn't suffer one iota for it. He goes over many individuals and aspects of the game, surpassing his work in 'Wilt: 1962.' You feel like you come to know and understand Cousy and Russell, and come to admire them as men, not just basketball legends. A must for those who enjoy basketball history.
Bob Cousy was one of the early greats of the National Basketball Association that contributed to the growth of the league through the 1950s and 1960s and his Boston Celtics led the way as the dominant team in the league. The book concentrates on Cousy and his superstar teammate Bill Russell but also contains anecdotes on other greats of the Celtic dynasty. Both Cousy and Russell contributed to the Celtics through unique means. Cousy was not universally agreed upon as the team's number one choice in the draft and Russell came to the team through a risky trade that sent Ed Macauley and Cliff Hagan to the St. Louis Hawks in exchange for the Hawks's second choice in the draft with Boston hoping that Russell would still be available for them.The book covers Cousy's family life of his parents in addition to his wife and two daughters. Bill Russell dealt with racism in Boston and really had no love for the city due to the disgusting things he had to put up withIn his later life Bob Cousy felt pangs of guilt for not speaking out in support of Bill Russell during his playing days and hoped to be able to patch things up for any omissions of support which Cousy, in his mind, felt he had neglected to do. Cousy dealt with the dementia of his wife and other teammates passing away as his own life lingered on. The difficulties that Cousy has been facing are also those faced by millions of others as age takes its toll on people.I only followed professional basketball as a fan of the St. Louis Hawks during the 1960s so I enjoyed reading about many of the famous names in the N.B.A. during that time period and found the book to be a very enjoyable read. It will have a prominent place in my library.
I figured when I purchased this book I was in for a ride down memory lane. For starters, I was 13 years old and growing up in Marion, IN, a hot-bed of high school basketball when the NBA started play. Few people I talk to realize that in the first two years of the NBA Indiana had three teams in the league. They were the Anderson Duffy Packers, the Indianapolis Olympians and the Ft. Wayne Zollner Pistons. My home town was close enough that I was able to see several of the games that featured stars that laid the groundwork for what the NBA is today. Of course, that groundwork included Bob Cousy and Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics. I was so pleased that this great book took me behind the scenes and into the personal lives of Cousy and Russell. Readers will be fascinated with exchanges between players, locker room talk, game discussions, situations with coach Red Auerbach and dozens of other items from the early years of the NBA. It was interesting to read what Cousy and Russell are doing now in the twi-light of their lives. If you love reading about how the NBA got started and the great players, especially those on the Celtics, you will be enthralled with this book. For example, Cousy mentions the effect of the 24 second shot clock that saved pro basketball. This took place in 1954, my senior year in high school. I can recall when games first appeared on TV. All in all, The Last Pass was a trip down memory lane for me as I was lucky to see so much of the development of the NBA of which Cousy and Russell were so much a big part. I would recommend this book to any basketball fan interested in knowing more about Cousy, Russell, the Celtics and the early developmental years of the NBA.Norman Jones, Ed.
