As a lifelong Lakers fan of almost 47 years of age, I rate Cousy as greater than West. West may have been the superior shooter and scorer, but Cousy was a superb passer and was the floor general for many of those Celtic championship teams. Cousy seemed to have a greater effect on the course of the game even if he didn't score. Also, Cousy won an MVP Award as a PG; something West never did.

I mean west won FMVP as a PG ...even if they rewarded players that accolade before the introduction...I doubt if cousy ever wins that

[@JohnnyRodgers3]

Also, west is a much better defender
