I thought Bob Cousy was the logo.

Definitely an old school legend ! Would've loved to seen him play in person.

One of the prettiest jump shots you will ever see.
A class individual.

Another great one from my youth passes on. Reminds me that my exit ramp in this road trip is not far away.

A fantastic player in his day.Also as an executive brought in Shaq and Kobe and rebuilt Laker Dynasty.

Maybe it is an entrance ramp?

I think I know what you are referring to. One door closes and another door opens.

 

[mickray]

Nope. One door is always open.

Embrace it.

He played a game, made millions, and was a logo…who cares?

Man as a kid just getting into basketball, that NBA era around 1970 was crazy good. I remember those all-star teams were unbelievable top to bottom.

One of the greats. I always loved watching his Laker teams lose to the Celtics back in the 60s.
