Sooooo, where's the rings and the banner?:eusa_whistle:

Oh, that's right, the great Robert Horry had somethin' to say about that shit!:cool:

Same with the refs in that game when they allowed Samaki Walker's shot after the buzzer to count in addition to the standard bad calls. And of course, game 6 of the WCF was a total joke. I just call it how it is. I give credit where it is due. In 02, the NBA rigged it more than usual. In 00, the Blazers could have won their Game 7 and they choked. It is what it is. Only a Laker fluffer is denying the reality of 02.
 
Cousy turned pro and made himself available for the 1950 NBA Draft when the Boston Celtics had just concluded the 1949–50 NBA season with a poor 22–46 win-loss record and had the first draft pick. It was strongly anticipated that they would draft the highly coveted local favorite Cousy. However, coach Red Auerbach snubbed him for center Charlie Share, saying: "I'm supposed to win, not go after local yokels". The local press strongly criticized Auerbach,[2] but other scouts were also skeptical about Cousy, viewing him as being flamboyant but ineffective. One scout wrote in his report: "The first time he tries that fancy Dan stuff in this league, they'll cram the ball down his throat."[7]

As a result, the Tri-Cities Blackhawks drafted Cousy, but the point guard was unenthusiastic about his new employer. Cousy was trying to establish a driving school in Worcester, Massachusetts and did not want to move into a left field consisting of three small towns of Moline, Rock Island and Davenport. As compensation for having to give up his driving school, Cousy demanded a salary of $10,000 from Blackhawks owner Bob Kerner. When Kerner only offered him $6,000, Cousy refused to report.[9] The latter was then picked up by the Chicago Stags, but when they folded, league Commissioner Maurice Podoloff declared three Stags available for a dispersal draft: Stags scoring champion Max Zaslofsky, Andy Phillip and Cousy.[9] Walter A. Brown, owner of the Boston Celtics, was one of the three club bosses invited. He later made it clear that he was hoping for Zaslofsky, would have tolerated Phillip, and did not want Cousy. When the Celtics drew Cousy, Brown confessed: "I could have fallen to the floor." Hence, Cousy became a Celtic, with Brown reluctantly giving him a $9,000 salary.
