It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means.
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo’s weekly look on ESPN’s “First Take” always stirs up the feelings of avid athletics media viewers, and this week was no exception.
All through a debate on no matter if Chris Paul warrants to be deemed in the pantheon of NBA level guards, Russo mentioned that Suns guard was “not Bob Cousy,” referencing the Celtics legend.
JJ Redick, a former sharpshooter who has turn into an pleasing NBA analyst for ESPN, stepped in to protect Paul’s honor.
“Bob Cousy couldn’t dribble with his left hand,” Redick retorted.
This did not improve Russo’s head, on the other hand.
“Bob Cousy changed the video game,” Russo responded. “Chris Paul didn’t improve the sport.”
Redick then delivered a blow.
“Bob Cousy won championships when there had been eight teams in the NBA and you experienced to earn two playoff series,” he mentioned.
Thinking about there isn’t a way to mail Paul back to the 1950s or 1960s to contend or any way to transmogrify Cousy into somebody who would have benefitted from modern teaching regimens, this debate can only be settled in hearts and minds.
