In a recent interview conducted by NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg, Hall of Fame Boston Celtics point guard Bob Cousy opened up about his role in helping to create the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) in his playing days, a move that he believes paved the way for today’s players — including the Celtics stars of today, like Jaylen Brown — signing multi-million-dollar contracts. “My last year, they told me I was the highest-paid player in the league, I made $35,000,” said Cousy.
