Happy 97th birthday to Celtics great Bob Cousy! He once led the NBA in assists for 8 consecutive seasons and is regarded as the first great point guard in NBA history.

This is his 1st Sports Illustrated cover appearance from January 9, 1956 graded in newsstand at 8.5. It’s a pop 3 with only 2 copies in the world graded higher. #NBA #celtics #boston
