Can anybody else post more Dave Cowens stuff;?I know it was a while ago;before DVD; but he's one of the great forgotten players; no greater illustration of how "hustle" can be talent than that steal and diving grab of the loose ball against ,of all people,Oscar Robertson,one of the great guards of all time.

[mrbriscoe2001]

Just an original;he played with a "special fury' . One time, Mike Newlin flopped against him and Cowens was charged with an offensive;he was incensed;the next time down the court,Mike Newlin had barely made it across half court when Cowens ran and plowed him into the first row;he turned to the ref and said,"Now THAT'S a fukin foul;the other thing you called -that was chikenshit-you BETTER call THAT!" He was immediately ejected,of course; but left to a standing ovation.

I own the NBA at 50 CD-Rom encylopedia, released in 1996. Eventually, I'll have all videos uploaded. There's biography videos for all 50 players (such as this video), as well as brief highlight reel videos for each player as well.

Terrific. I'm a Jerry Lucas fan. Cowens, Havlicek, West, those guys were great.
