A 2-time NBA champion with the Boston Celtics<\/a> and 7-time all star, 6\u20199\u201d Dave Cowens\u00a0earned a space in the Hall of Fame in 1991. A tremendous work ethic, combined with\u00a0unselfishness, versatility and energy helped established Cowens as one of the most\u00a0solid and respected centers in recent NBA history.<\/p>\n

During his career, Cowens averaged 17.6 points and 13.6 rebounds per game. He
\nwas a member of the Celtics’ 1974 and 1976 NBA Championship teams. After retiring\u00a0in 1980, he was coaxed to return to the court two years later to play for the Milwaukee\u00a0Bucks from 1982-1983. Cowens went on to coach the Charlotte Hornets and Golden\u00a0State Warriors.<\/p>\n
