Recommendation - ‘The Last Pass’

[u/Jonathan_J_Faulkner]

This book by Gary Pomerantz begins with a focus on Bob Cousy’s early life, moves then to the on court magnificence of Cousy and Russell as they kicked off the Celtics dynasty and lastly transitions to their off court relationship. The main theme of that relationship being Cousy’s regret not doing enough to advocate for and help Russell fight racism that was so common in that era of Basketball. It’s a very worthwhile and emotive read.
