Grousbeck also showed the Celtics great a book of ring designs and informed him that he’ll receive an NBA championship ring along with the Celtics players before they open the next season against Miami at the Garden on Oct. 27. Grousbeck called the announcement of the ring an early birthday present for Cousy, who will turn 96 on Aug. 9.
“You’ve been instrumental in all the championships,” Grousbeck said.
Cousy said he was relieved when the Mavericks won the Western Conference because he thought the Celtics would beat them easily and he wouldn’t have to stay up until 11:30 on game nights to watch the end of the games. He was convinced that Jrue Holiday and Derrick White would be able to defend Kyrie Irving and to a lesser extent Luka Doncic.
