Cooper and Cousy: When the Boston Celtics drafted Chuck Cooper in the 1950 draft, he joined another rookie who went on to have a Hall of Fame career, the legendary Bob Cousy. Jaylen Brown tells the story of a friendship that saw Cooper and Cousy go through good times, and bad. This year, the NBA celebrates the 75th Anniversary of the historic 1950 NBA Draft, commemorating the season that broke the color barrier when Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton, Chuck Cooper and Earl Lloyd became the first Black players to enter the NBA. #NBAPioneers75
