On this day: Bob Cousy inducted into Hall of Fame; Tracy Jackson born

On this day in 1971, Boston Celtics legendary point guard Bob Cousy was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

It is the birthday of former Boston shooting guard Tracy Jackson, who was born this day in 1959 in Rockville, Maryland and drafted out of Notre Dame by the Celtics 25th overall in the 1981 NBA Draft.

Despite being taken ahead of current Boston head honcho Danny Ainge (No. 31 overall), Jackson’s Celtics tenure was a short one, his contract sold to the Chicago Bulls for cash considerations.

Jackson averaged 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in his time with Boston.
