The book centers around the last two days of the legendary Celtic player. Book recounts the Classic 1963 World Championship between the Boston Celtics & the L. A. Lakers, and Cousy relives highlights of his thirteen year Hall of Fame Career. Besides, speaking about his career, Cousy is outspoken about the world of basketball and the people in it, the players, coaches, officials, sportweriters and the fans, the grinding schedule, the rigging of games, and the fierce competition to recruit college players. Cousy doesn't mince words! An eye-opening book that takes the reader behind the career of this Hall of Famer and behind the facde of pro basketball. A good read with great classic photos.
