Bob Davies
Robert Edris Davies
(January 15, 1920 – April 22, 1990) was an American professional
basketball
player. Alongside
Bobby Wanzer
he formed one of the best backcourt duos in the
National Basketball Association
's early years. Davies and Wanzer led the
Rochester Royals
to the
1951 NBA championship
. Davies was also a former basketball coach at the
Seton Hall University
and was inducted to the
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
on April 11, 1970.
Although
Bob Cousy
is often considered the originator of the behind-the-back dribble, Davies actually deserves the credit. His Seton Hall coach,
John "Honey" Russell
, once said, "He had such uncanny control of the ball behind his back that it never concerned me. He made it look as easy as the conventional dribble."
