Bob Cousy Roasts 'Less Talented' JJ Redick After Controversial Comments (brobible.com)

Cousy would be considered 'less talented' had he played today, just sayin'. . . kind of a schmuck thing to say, Bob (and JJ, for that matter). That's TV today, all 'takes' -- sheesh.

Yeah, that rhetoric took place last week when dipwad reddick was asked who his top five all time point guards would be.  They were trying to place Chris Paul into that class after Dallas eliminated Phoenix from the play offs.  JJ said or inferred that Cousy wasn't that good cause he played against a bunch of players that were firemen and policemen.

If that dude is a basketball expert, then espn is in deep dodo for basketball experts.  Cousy was the best in his era and almost everyone other than JJ knows that you cannot compare one era to another.  Different times, different training, much different political environment.

Yeah, I didn't know the context. The eras conversation is worth having, JJ Redick is being paid to be "controversial" like Stephen A. Smith et al.
