During a recent appearance on "First Take," recently retired NBA player J.J. Red
ick went back to that well during a debate on Chris Paul. When Chris "Mad Dog" R
usso said that the Phoenix Suns guard was "not Bob Cousy" when it came to the NB
A's great point guards, Reddick responded by stating that the Boston Celtics leg
end "was being guarded by plumbers and firemen" and played in an era where there
were "eight teams in the NBA and you had to win two playoff series".
最近在ESPN First Take节目上，JJ Redick进行了一个关于CP3的辩论。主持人Chris Russo
(绰号疯狗)认为当人们讨论NBA历史上伟大的PG时，CP3不如Bob Cousy伟大。但JJ认为这位
塞尔提克传奇所遭遇的防守者是”水电工和消防员(指当时薪水太低，球员可能还需兼职工
作)，而且那个年代只有八只球队，而且你只需要赢两个系列赛就夺冠了”。
注：Bob Cousy是塞尔提克传奇控球，有1次MVP，6次总冠军，跟指环王同期的球员。
Bob Cousy："People with less talent will always try to make a name for themselve
s by criticizing other people, and hopefully getting some attention and perhaps
increasing their credibility. When you respond to something like this, you play
into their hands. I won't do that, but I will defend the firemen and the plumber
s that he referenced," Cousy said, referencing NBA legends like Bill Russell and
Wilt Chamberlain, the latter of whom he called the best small forward in NBA hi
story. "I guess he must have fought fires as well."
高龄93岁的Bob Cousy则回应：
不够有才华的人总是为了哄抬他们自己而去批评别人，希望可以得到一些关注，或许能增加
他们的荣誉。当你得回应这种言论时，你就栽在他们的手掌心上了，我不会这么做，但我必
须捍卫这些他所提到的消防员和水电工。
他也提到了Wilt Chamberlain和Bill Russell，并说”我猜他可能也有在负责灭火”
Cousy went on to name many of his contemporaries
