Cool Hand Cooz
Date: 1950s
Nicknamed “Cooz,” passing was one of the defining characteristics of Bob Cousy’s game. His teammate Tommy Heinsohn said of Cousy’s ability, “If you think Magic Johnson could pass, if you think John Stockton can pass, multiply them by 10 and you have Bob Cousy.” Here, Cousy completes a no-look pass against the Cincinnati Royals.
