Cousy, 91, got it today. Bill Russell already has his and the only other Boston athlete to get one was Ted Williams. For a good book on his life and relationship with Russell I will recommend this one:      https://journalstar.com/entertainment/books/review-cousy-the-star-of-celtics-last-pass/article_645cedb9-e4b8-5192-8f68-2f296f6abde7.html

Just caught the Cooz in the1994 Omaha -product Nick Nolte classic "Blue Chip" which I hadn't seen in 25 years. I forgot so many basketball icons were in this movie about the cheating in NCAA basketball back then. (Ironically, Pitino, Boeheim, and Tarkanian all played themselves- also Larry Bird, Penny Hardaway , and a slim Shaq). Thankfully Cousy's medal wasn't based upon his acting proficiency.
