Bob Cousy–The Last Pass

You have to read The Last Pass by Gary Pomerantz. The ‘last pass’ was in essence Bob Cousy in his later years coming to terms with why he and Bill Russell were never close after the incident in Louisville.

Cousy sent Bill Russell a very personal letter asking for a second chance of sorts with their friendship. He admitted if he had to do it all over again he shouldn’t have played in the game in Louisville.

Russell didn’t even respond to the letter for almost two years. Then one evening Cousy got a call and his caller ID showed it was coming from Mercer Island, Washington.

I’m sure Trump never read the book….because he doesn’t read. But evidently Joe Manchin did and that’s a good thing.
