Bob Cousy: Stands against racism, for his friend and fellow Hall of Famer and teammate Chuck Cooper.

STAND UP!! Bob Cousy, the "Houdini of the Hardwood" discusses his relationship with 2019 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Chuck Cooper, the first African American drafted in the NBA. In 1950, Cousy refused to stay at the team hotel in segregated Charlotte, North Carolina after Chuck Cooper was denied entry. Instead, Cousy traveled with Cooper on an overnight train to their next destination.
