  • Basketball Hall of Fame Names Twenty Point Guards to Watch List for 2021 Bob Cousy Award
    Basketball Hall of Fame Names Twenty Point Guards to Watch List for 2021 Bob Cousy Award Starting Five Fan Voting Presented by Dell Technologies to go Live on Friday, November 6 Springfield, Mass. (Nov. 2, 2020) — The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the 20 watch list candidates for the 2021 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. Named after Class of 1971 Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy, the annual honor now in its eighteenth year recognizes the top point guards in Division I men’s college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. “Since 2004, the Hall of Fame has had the honor of bestowing the Bob Cousy Award on the best point guards in the collegiate game,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “The list is comprised of many outstanding student-athletes and we know the fans are very excited to see them take the floor. Starting Five Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will allow fans to support their favorite players throughout the season and eventually play a part in helping us to select our winner. We greatly appreciate the support of Dell Technologies, the fans, our selection committee and the namesake of the award, Mr. Bob Cousy.” Bob Cousy played for Holy Cross from 1946-1950 winning an NCAA Championship in 1947. He was named a Consensus First-Team All-American in 1950. His success continued at the professional level as a six-time NBA Champion (1957, 1959-1963), NBA Most Valuable Player (1957) and 13-time NBA All-Star (1951-63).

  • Grandpa Munster BB Scout
    March 18, 1991---- NEW YORK--- Now this is March madness. It's a creepy trenchcoat afternoon, and you're devouring Shrimp a la Gram-pa and talking basketball at Grampa's Bella Gente restaurant in Greenwich Village. You could be doing 1,000 other things. But no. You have to hear what Al Lewis has to say about Basketball Hall of Famer John "Honey" Russell and failed playground legends. Lewis is best known for his role as Grandpa Munster on "The Munsters" television series. He was also Officer Leo Schnauser on "Car 54, Where Are You?" Before that, he worked burlesque houses, vaudeville and traveling medicine shows. Lewis is less known as a comedy-club owner, restaurateur and a lecturer about black history in America. He's also one of the nation's premier high school basketball scouts. Hmm. "I'm the most knowledgeable man of roundball that ever lived," he says. "If you put together the top 20 college coaches - Dean Smith, Don Haskins, John Wooden - they have not seen as many high school games as I have. "Name somebody I haven't seen. The Big O. Connie Hawkins at Boys' High (in New York City). Bill Walton (Helix High School, San Diego). ." Lewis is 81. His voice sounds like a long whistle in a wooden gym. His creased face appears to have met a few Bill Cartwright elbows. He wears a big, hand-carved bolo tie holder made of shed antler. (Near Jackson Hole, Wyo., Boy Scouts walk through the forest and gather shed antler scraps, which are sent to a sculptor in Oregon.) Lewis collects these bolos.

The first collective act of professional basketball players under the NBPA was a threat to strike just before the 1964 NBA All-Star Game. Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation. The NBPA filed a class-action lawsuit, also known as the Oscar Robertson lawsuit, against the merger between two basketball leagues, the NBA, and the ABA (American Basketball Association) in April 1970.
