The MVP of the 1957 season and veteran of six NBA championships with the Boston Celtics, his trademark behind-the-back dribble and no-look pass gave us basketball as no one had seen it before -- a one-man revolution that set the stage for Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, and others. Here is the fascinating, in-depth story of Cousy's life -- his tenement childhood, his drives and motivations, his little-known personal life, and his record-breaking career -- set against one of the most exciting generations in sports history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781476746166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40936375615694,"sku":"9781476746166","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_96c1a43c-a4d7-498f-b42e-0c77b0d6465c.jpg?v=1645821507","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781476746166","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
